Hey Lise, I got in the habit of "swinging" my leg over the saddle from learning how to mount my hubby's new Nighthawk motorcycle.... (at first I had to lie down on my face on the gas tank while he pushed my leg over the seat.... ) finally I got strong enough to not only throw my leg over it but also MISS the backrest he installed which was in my way to mounting it.

(Picture a fat gal in leathers behind a big guy on a big bike who is wearing a big 'I'm scared sh_less being on this thing at MY age!" look on her face.....) That would be ME!

Now I find I can't step through the new bicycle, but can put my leg over the seat...maybe I will actually retrain my brain and leg to just step through the darn thing!!!

Yep, I found that handsome widower (of a 32 year marriage to his highschool sweetheart) on a singles LDS website and he came out to meet me after we were writing and phoning back and forth for about two months, and the phone call came about six weeks later asking me to marry him which was a TOTAL SHOCK TO ME!! I thought he was nuts, but I sure wasn't going to say NO to that hunk!!!

We've had a very unusual and adventurous marriage these last five years and he rides bikes too, farther than I do actually -- he's in such good shape physically compared to me. The Internet is the new way to meet your man for sure!!! I have so many friends who successfully met their hubbies there!
