I know the HOGs are big contributors. They're VERY much appreciated,
trust me. You can pass that message along. VERY much appreciated.
We certainly didn't turn away any Harley's at the ride. (Doug
actually has
a Pig webkinz that he's named "Harley") :)
I try to pop into reeky from time to time to keep current, but it's
hard finding
the time. Both kids are now riding with me, so there's more and more
excuses to "go out for a few minutes".
Check out the website over the next few weeks - I think you'll enjoy
the photos.
