Saturday morning, April 28th, was a beautiful one to start out on the motorcycle! We met Milton and Jill at Elsie's and headed to Silver Star Smokehouse in Bossier City to meet up with about 300 other riders for Run with the Nuns. They really put on a great event - guided ride with police escorts, breakfast, lunch, 50/50 raffles and very nice raffle items. All of the proceeds benefit at-risk children right in our own area so it's all for a very good cause. This is the first year Milton and Jill rode and hopefully they'll be back because we enjoyed hanging out with them! The ride was great and I got really lucky this year - I won one of the 50/50 raffles and a prize package with some awesome items! Looking forward to the next ride...:)

| Several different law enforcement agencies blocked intersections and led us along the way. |
 |
| Unfortunately, a dog ran out in front of one of the lead motorcycles and caused the rider to wreck. Rider was OK, bike damaged but the dog didn't make it. Leash laws exist for a reason. It's scary when riding to have dogs and other critters run out in front of you. Thankfully, we've been able to avoid the ones we've come in contact with thanks to Kenneth! |

| We went for a ride around Bodcau Dam, one of our old stomping grounds, after RWTN. Spent nine hours on the bike this beautiful day and had a blast! |
 |
| My haul for the day - put some cash back into the donation jar at the event and still had some left for our vacation! |
