Never Say Goodbye

Unlikely friends, you and me
I on my mountain you by the sea
Although we are an ocean apart
the winds carry your songs straight to my heart

We may never get to say hello, but we will never say goodbye.

No one knows what are in the plans
So many things are in God's hands
The world keeps spinning,
we're losing, we're winning
The seasons keep changing
things keep rearranging
but friendship can stand the test of time

So carry on my trusted friend
under your big blue sky

We may never get to say hello, but we will never say Goodbye.

Bikers, elavators,...and the Pizza guy

Bikers are a strange breed . Look rough, have bad ass attitude , but most have a heart of gold. But they do enjoy the ‘bad boy’ image and work hard at keeping it up.


Several years ago, We went to a H.O.G. ( Harley Owners Group) rally in Montgomery, AL. Lots of fun, and today I got reminded of what happened on the elevator.

Now picture this….. Upscale, 5 star hotel packed with bikers.. All in their leathers, revving their bikes at all hours in the enclosed parking garage, staring down the locals, …just having fun. The food at this place was too…well… just didn’t go well with beer, so ordering pizza was something many of them did…. Delivered of course.

I, along with my hubby Steve and some friends where heading up to our room on the elevator. The door opened up and in came the pizza delivery guy, with a stack of pizzas. Mmmm .. The aroma was wonderful. The door close and the elevator starts. Steve looks at the pizza guy, and turns to his buddy, Jim and says “Lets mug the pizza boy.” The poor guy knees start knocking together.

Then the elevator stops and in walks the maid, with towels. The door closes. Elevator starts and the maid looks at the pizza, turns to Steve and Jim and says: “Lets mug the pizza boy”

By this time the poor kid could barely hold the boxes for shaking.

Then Steve looks at Jim and says … ‘Man, I hope they are not going to Val’s room… you remember what he did to the last pizza guy.”

Well the door opens and the kid took off like a rocket. Of course, we had to get off at this floor also …which made the poor pizza guy even more nervous. We watched in amazement when he stopped at the room to deliver the pizza…. Then hollered ..’Yep that’s Val’s room!’ ( which it was)

Val is a very intimidating looking dude ….so when he opened the door, we honestly thought the poor kid was going to faint.

We just stood at the elevator and held the door open for him as he bolted back into it. …

With a smile…told him “ See ya in about an hour … we are going to order pizza…”

Rumors have it…he still shakes when he sees a biker.
