Shadow Arrives at the Yellow House

 Shdow Againn

Shadow & VannShadow













Shadow herself

Shadow Riding May I introduce you to Shadow, the Chattanooga Chopper? It wasn't a dream. He really did come home with a motorcycle--and if you like motorcycles, it's a beauty, as you can see. Very retro. Very bright. Very shiny. And doesn't Sophie's PopPop look sporty riding it?

OK, I'm the wife of a motorcycle rider now. I think I had better go and contemplate on that a while. I'm not sure I know how to be one of those.

Pardon me, boy,
Is that the Chattanooga Chopper?
Shadow's her name,
And rollin's her game.
I can afford
To ride a Chattanooga Chopper.
I've got my fare
And just a little to spare.

With sincere aplogies to Glenn Miller

Susan, my husband wants you to know that he rode a motorcycle all his life (stopped when we moved to Hawaii--poor roads and crowded busy roads). He sees nothing wrong with Vann getting a bike. I must say...I giggled through your post. Do I see panic attack in your future. I have a hard time visualizing Sophie in leathers. LOL. Next, my DH wants to know if you live near Huntsville. He spent about 4 tours at Redstone Arsenal and loved northern Alabama (this was before we married, sorry to say).

He looks quite handsome on his new wheels. Did he buy his leather jacket yet?

And, you're right. That is a beautiful bike.

Oh, I want to see Sophie on the motorcycle too. I bet she likes driving with the wind on her face. My dogs loves the wind and when we take them on a car ride they just want me to open the window for them. So I can imagine the joy of Sophie on this motorcycle. Congratulations to Vann! Enjoy!!!!

Men and their toys! You sure have a handsome husband on that good looking bike! My son would be so jealous. He has two motorcycles and I know he would realize what a gem The Chattanooga Chopper is.
