welcome home

Harley Chick came over Friday for lunch and catching up. I  hadn’t seen her since April, so there was a lot to talk about.

“I bought you a surprise,” she announced, handing me a gift bag.  Inside were two bags of beans from Shipshewana!  Remember the Amish town in Indiana we often stop in while on road trips?  Harley Chick and her husband, Hot Rod Russ, were there a week after we were and they went to the same bulk food store to load up with winter supplies.

White beans are my favorite and pinto beans are Banjo Man’s. Daughter-in-law Amber is the queen of pinto bean cooking, so I am tempted to bring them to Texas for a holiday meal instead of Banjo Man attempting to recreate her recipe.

So, thank you, Harley Chick!

FYI: Harley Chick and Russ have given up motorcycles and now travel the country in a gorgeous motorhome, but their Harley adventures remain legendary.

So do they need new names?????

    Nope! I think Harley Chick can remain the same.

    Well…I think there’s an old saying that may apply here…”you can take the chick off the Harley, but you can’t take the Harley out of the chick”…ride on in your heart, sister!

    Hot Rod Russ likes his name and does not want to change it. As for me, Harley Chick, I agree with Ruth “you can take the chick off the Harley, but you can’t take the Harley out of the chick” ~ I love the name!

    Pinto bean soup after Thanksgiving! Maybe Amber will share her recipe…

  4. Okay, it’s unanimous. Harley Chick will forever remain the cool, motorcycle chick she is, with Hot Rod Russ by her side. Happy trails!!!
