"There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting."

off we go into the wild blue yonder

yes, Joe & I are off riding for a few days - there is a Ulysses convention up on the north coast of New South Wales in a town called Coffs Harbour.
Originally, Joe was riding up by himself ~ I was going to stay at home with Sophie but have decided to go - on the back of the bike! I admit to suffering separation anxiety when Joe and I are apart.
That and also coming up on June 1st is my yearly oncology checkup - that always puts me into a spin. I woke during the night crying - after a horrid dream of re-living the whole cancer story of mine. It is something that happens periodically, I have learnt to deal with it best I can and that is all I can do.



this is our new bike - a Harley Davidson Road King - we bought it a few weeks back!

I would like also to thank those of you who have continued to comment here while I go through my reflective period - I know it has been a one-sided blogging friendship lately and I am truly sorry.. I have been having email discussions with a very, very good friend who has helped me tremendously and when I feel I can share - I will post the story.
so with that, as well as this on-line course with Starhawk, I have been going through a period of change, so to speak....

Have a great trip! Regarding the comment you left on my blog last night, I have to admit that I found the Celtic Gleam picture while looking for Celtic images on the net. Apparently the only websites regarding this CD are in Chinese? Doesn't make sense, but, whatever. Regarding Loreena McKennitt, checkout her website at www.quinlanroad.com. You will be able to hear snippets of her music and read about her. I am a great fan. In addition to the Celtic world, she explores (through traveling and reading) other things like Sufi mysticism, and then incorporates what she has learned into her songs.

That's better than me Robyn, I've had a zero-way relationship with the online community lately because of my Mom's amazing visit but I'm back!

Gorgeous bike! I hope you have a fantastic time on your adventure, it sounds amazing.

Oh my you are going to have a WONDERFUL time. I'm envious. I remember the bike days. Sigh....... But DH had an accident on one so now the bike days are over! Be careful. Be safe. Have a lovely time. Take pics for us! And stop worrying about your doctor visit. Remember The Secret! Only think positive because you don't want to attract the negative to you. UGOGIRL!!! xoxoxo

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fellow biker babe have a wonderful time. As I am writing here just now, a song is on the radio and I find my eyes filling up at the bond Jon & I have and I know how much you will love the time away on the bike......

Song being played is this one.....
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an achin in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
Im a long way from home
And I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go
Out on runway number nine
Big seven-o-seven set to go
But Im stuck here in the grass
Where the cold wind blows
Now the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
Well there she goes my friend
Well shes rollin down at last

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
Shes away and westward bound
Far above the clouds shell fly
Where the mornin rain dont fall
And the sun always shines
Shell be flyin oer my home
In about three hours time

This old airports got me down
Its no earthly good to me
cause Im stuck here on the ground
As cold and drunk as I can be
You cant jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So Id best be on my way
In the early morning rain
You cant jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So Id best be on my way
In the early morning rain

Hold on tight and enjoy, Miss R!!
XOXO

Lavender on your pillow. It should help calm you down a bit.
(Put some on a cotton ball and smell it when you go for your checkup.)
