a few things that make me smile

Florence, italy (where we got engaged),
pink hearts,
 the Australian countryside (when we lost our way off the great ocean road),
harley davidson (i love motorcycles),
 mountains so high you feel like you could touch the sun,
 flowers that look like they’re standing up for themselves,
 and my favorite spot as a kid.

    Florence is dear to my heart as well… So many sweet memories. Nice to see you reminiscing about special times in your life…

    My husband bought me a bike helmet and leather jacket last Mother`s Day… He`s trying to convince me to get my own motorcycle license…Jury`s still out on that one… For now I`ll continue to hold on tight and enjoy the ride from the back…lol
