Happy May Day
My wife was asking this one: Does anyone remember the days as a kid when you took a small May basket, one that was made of construction paper or a paper cup and pipe cleaner handles, filled with violets and cookies or candy in it, sneaked up to a friends door, knocked on it and ran so they wouldn't see who left it? At least this was done in our small town on May 1st, May day. I don't think kids these days know anything about May baskets. My favorite was the snickerdoodle cookies.... they didn't make it to my friends house :) Maybe that dates us.....
Our first Chapter H supper ride starts Monday, May 4th. We meet in Johnston, Iowa, just north of Interstate 80, at the Wynnsong theater parking lot, and leave at 6:30 p.m. We will be going to Adel's Italian Villages after a nice ride. Weather sounds like it will be in upper 60's lower 70's until the sun goes down.
Connie and I took off on a quick weekend trip last Friday, destination.. Harrison, Arkansas (sunshine and warm temperatures and lots of green trees and flowers in bloom) to surprise Bill, Dee, Jon and Rosalee. We connected with them and had a nice evening meal on Saturday, breakfast together and headed back on Sunday. We heard horror stories about large storms and huge amounts of rain in Iowa and all around us but we kept dry all the way home. 1100 miles... It was a great trip!
See you Monday night...
Ride safe!
Steve

Oh yes, my wife and the neighbor lady still do May baskets. This year however she used the big plastic popcorn containers that resemble an old style popcorn box. She filled it with some big time goodies for the kids in the neighborhood.
PS Chapter H can you guess who I am?
