We have a plastic garden piglet and a plastic toad. But no gnomes.

Got one!!! The little bugger is quick for such an old fellow. Bad Romance (my Honda Shadow) is rather embarassed to be sporting a lawn gnome but she is a good sport. A couple of my riding buddies at work went on a gnome scavenger hunt with me, we ended up finding one in a trailer park, the friendly gentleman who owns the gnome, offered to go inside and bring a couple more of them out in case I needed a pic with multiples, lol! Anyways, what a wonderful lunch break. Blues this was a blast, I want to be just like you when I grow up.

For the next challenge....
OMG it's hot out there!!! Your bike at a children's lemonade stand or a snow cone / shaved ice hut. Good luck and let's get this game rolling!

My parents just retired in May to Kelowna, so I will be riding out to see their new place with my daughter. If I get the bike fixed in the next few days it will be for the August Long Weekend...3rd to 6th...should be a nice ride. My sister has also moved out there, so it can be a bit of a family reunion (other sister is trying to sell her house and move to Revelstoke...1.5hrs away)...then Alberta is ALL MINE...in my family anyway!

But since the knome has been found, I will have to see what the next challenge is...Lemonaide stand...we're having floods, I won't be finding one of those very soon...thunder was loud enough last night that my "adult beverage" glasses were rattling in the cabinet...those better not break or I will have to drink from the bottle! :laughing:

Later.

Thanks for the compliment. :D


Hmmm....I haven't seen any lemonade stands around....and I'm quite sure we don't have any snow cone/shaved ice huts around here. Maybe on the weekend there will be some kids out.
