We had an amazing Saturday...that is after the car trouble
the blue bus had the same battery in it since we got it 6 years ago
The girls and I stopped by to see Jonathan at one of his stores before we went running around. Thanks to Ho, Jonathan, & AAA we got it fixed and on our way.
We headed out to the 30th anniversary smokey mountain toy run at Lummus harely shop. Now you need to know that it is 33 degrees & sleeting but these bikers still rode the cold 10 miles from downtown Asheville to the shop. The girls & I helped collect toys. They just keep coming. It is amazing how everyone just jumps in to help the kids that need a Christmas this year and for all you our there that believe bikers are nothing but trouble never meet a true biker (right Uncle Snake) yes the leather and tattoos might get you but their hearts are truly huge. I know this after a cold older man handed me a ice covered teddy bear yesterday and said he enjoyed the ride. After unloading toys and more toys Tori & Sam joined the Harley band and song Jingle Bells. Then Sam got to pick the winning ticket for the 50/50 drawing and made someone a very happy person. After that is was off to the nature center where the twins were to be elves and Sam & I were going to sell snacks. The park was dead because it was in the 30s and sleeting & raining. But we stayed to help out and to see Santa. The lights were beautiful all thru the trails. There was a smore fire going and a fire in the cabin where Santa was. The girls were face painting and showing the snakes.(they didn't get that like from me) Afterwards we made some candles and headed home. Christmas is about spending time with the one you love and we did that as our teeth chattered. But it is about making others happy. We are trying to spread our Christmas cheer..."by singing loud for all to hear"...form the Elf movie.
