I'm on vacation for a week and I started it off by lounging around the house and catching up on a few neglected cleaning chores. I should do more, but since I'm on vacation I'm able to justify spending the rest of my time reading, riding, hiking, and hanging out with J. Here's some
photos I took at Kokiwanee. The first photo featuring the innocent looking white flowers is actually the poisonous White Snakeroot which is claimed to be responsible for the death of Nancy Hanks Lincoln (mother of Abraham Lincoln). You can read more about it and "milk sickness" by clicking the title link.
When I got back in town, I remembered that I wanted to stop in and see Miss Denise to have a leather belt fixed and here's a picture of her and her man at D & M Leather. They are an amusing couple. Every time I go in there, he jokes around about how hard Miss Denise makes him work, then he rolls his eyes and happily hops to whatever chore she's assigned to him. She regally presides over the sewing machine and charges fair prices for leather repair (she's great at replacing pockets) and will sew on patches while you wait. So, if you're a biker and haven't taken the time to meet them, you're missing out on one of the quintessential biker experiences that Fort Wayne has to offer. Then I finished up the day at one of my very favorite places, Hyde Bros. Book Store. Below's a picture of the treasure I found while snooping around, which is lying on top of the blue afghan that I'm just finishing up for my Sky Eyed boy.

I too adore Hyde Bros and get these as often as i can!
Maggie, if you drop in at Hydes on Sunday afternoons, you'll probably find J and I there. Although, this weekend his daughter is getting married, so we might not be back in town yet.
