Next stop.... Montana Treasure State Lady Riders
email from Janice, October 11, 2008 T-Bone
has been very busy. Two of our girls kidnapped him and took him almost
to Canada to Shelby,
MT and the train station. He had a ride to another town and his
picture with the Rocky Mountain in the background and this weekend we took him
to a women's event "What Women Want". Everyone wanted him!
T-Bone now has a leather hat, a lot of pins, a Montana patch, a dog-bone ID
with his name on it and a photo album filled with pictures and we are still
taking pictures. Sunday after some of the girls are meeting at Montana
Air Nation Guard for more pictures. I almost forgot, T-Bone was the
honored guest at the Treasure State Lady Riders 2nd birthday party. |
The Treasure State Lady Riders took pictures, printed them and presented me with my own picture album!
I've tried to scan and keep them in the order they were presented.
THANKS again Ladies! This was AWESOME!! ~T-Bone

My next stop.. MISSOURI Lady Cruisers Of The Ozarks!!
Here's an email we received from T-Bone March 10th: (He must be having FUN, because this is the first email we've received from him) Hi Kay this is T-bone. I made it to Missouri. Deana the director of the Lady Cruisers of the Ozarks took me to their February monthly meeting. There I was introduced to Dee who is in charge of the "Special Passenger Division". When we got to Dee's house she introduced me to 2 other special passengers Jackie the Frog and Skelly the Skeleton. It was really to cold or wet to ride the bikes at all. Dee took me by a couple of farms while I was in Missouri. My stay was pretty short but I wouldn't mind going back to Missouri. Let me tell ya there are alot of good looking heifers in Missouri. (See photos in my journal). Dee said my next stop was in Prairiesvilles, LA. Maybe it will be a little warmer there.
