Dawn's Sunday Share 8-12-2012

Hi Stampers :

 Happy Sunday friends!

 I am leaving this morning for  New York to meet my hubby as he crosses the finish line . I had plans  to get things ready for my blog this upcoming week BUT  the power went out Friday afternoon  until yesterday afternoon so my big plans were  put on the back burner (more on that below.)

Hubby's "window " time of arrival  is between  6:38 pm tonight - Tomorrow at 8:30am.

  If all goes as planned  we both should be back home no later than Tuesday evening .

I have a couple projects ready to post while I am away BUT since we lost power  I wasn't able to  get much else done . I did film my videos for this upcoming week already...  Just need to be back home before Thursday  to upload  them for you . Plus I have my club girls coming over Friday  so we better be home before Friday .

This last week following my hubby on the Hoka Hey tracker has been so addicting . The Photo above are some other peeps addicted to the tracker map . Actually this was taken at the check in  LA. at the Renegade Harley Davidson  and everyone was watching  for the riders to roll in  AWESOME HUH? 

Renegade Harley Davison dealer  was their 2nd check in on the  route  BUT not only that they also gave  drinks / snacks  and offered sleeping areas to all the riders. I thought this sign was  cute .

They even offered a FREE wake up call  which for this rider  was at 4pm . LOVE THAT!

I loved hearing from some of you  who were following my hubby too ....That makes me smile .

Between my cousin Ruthie and Jessie  we have been chatting about making  TEAM RICH #725  t-shirts  so Jessie  made this one  on Tuesday with a Sharpie . Ruthie wanted me to stamp  some shirts BUT I need a Hoka Hey stamp for that .

It has been so AMAZING But I can hardly wait  to hear all about this  journey when I see my man .

I am very Thankful that  these 4 guys took hubby under their wings  for this amazing adventure . Thank you Bob, Dan, Frank & Walter

By the time he reaches the finish line in New York he  got to ride through

NV, UT, CO, NE, KS, MO, AR, LA,

MS, AL, TN, GA , NC,  WV, VA , PA & NY.

By the time Friday night rolled around I could really tell Hubby was missing me by the photo he sent me ( above ) LOL!

Here is  my hubby's sleeping quarters  friday night . Which by the way was probably the only time he got a decent  amount of sleep (more than (3) hours I am sure .

Tarp over his Harley and stakes in ground  to hold tarp in place to  give him and his Harley  shelter as a storm passes through .

All riders have to sleep outside NO hotels allowed

PLUS he took his 1st shower  since leaving Vegas on Sunday  so that in itself made him feel  so much better getting cleaned up .

Yesterday afternoon  they were going to be  hitting the "Tail of the Dragon " OMG!!!  google  that when you get a chance . The  guys are VERY excited !!!

Thank you all for your prayers for my hubby and all the riders this past week . It has been an adventure  they will NEVER forget .

Hubby is already talking about doing it again next year since next year will be the last time for the Hoka Hey and next year will be one for the record books I've heard . .

Ok here is my Sunday share video for you today .

 Laura got her paper snips holder video done YAHOO!!!  so I thought I would make that my Sunday share video for you today .

Dawn, Glad to hear your hubby is having a great experience. I told my hubby about it (he has been riding since he was a kid) and he has been following your hubby and the other riders everyday. I know it is something he would love to do (he has traveled all over the country and Europe on his Harley). I am sure you are excited to see your hubby. Good luck

PS. I sat next to your hubby at convention last year (2011) at one of the classes and we started talking about riding. I live in the Hartland/Howell area

That is so awesome Dawn, glad they are all safe. The map is so cool, it's amazing what they can do today. Have a wonderful safe trip and I'm sure you'll both be thrilled to see each other :)

Dawn, I also wanted to thank you for always posting such beautiful videos. Sometimes in our busy daily lives, we forget what is truly important.

Hurray for Hoka Hey! Glad Rich has a such a fun time! Enjoy New York! Thanks for sharing this awesome video! I may need a simple sewing project soon. Hope to remember this one!

I have been praying for your husband and I know that you will be so happy to see him cross that finish line. I wish I had know that you wanted shirts made. I have an embroidery machine and would have done one for you. Next year, keep this in mind and I'll do them ahead of time.
God Bless,
Sherry

Hi Dawn. I just checked on where your hubby was and it looks like I just missed him. He passed through Erie, Pa looks like earlier this evening. Wish I would have known I would have gone and cheered him on. Glad you'll be able to see him soon.

I looked up the Tail of the Dragon & had to post about it! OMG!!! It looks like something from that show about the truck drivers driving down the worst roads in the world. You'd think they could find a way to fix that. Very scary!
