Iron Horse Riding and Some Antique finds

Trying to leave the house to go on our bike ride for our 23rd anniversary. And look what my Cowboy did for me so that I could ride with him.
I just put my leg right up on it and off we went. I was able to ride very comfortably with out my leg not even hurting. It did swell but no more than if we had be in the car. He is so happy that I get to ride with him again. It has been a year since I have been able to get on the bike with him. He was thinking about selling it because I was not able to go with him. This is what the Iron Horse looks like without the leg stand.
We went a little over 100 miles from the house to a car show...
then stopped off at Will Rogers birthplace. This is the house behind us. I was trying to take the picture myself, that is why I have such a look on my face. :)
This is the lake in front of his house that you can see as soon as you step out the front door.

And the big barn on the place, they have some kind of room in there to do classes or dances or something and it has bathrooms.
I took this picture and thought how neat it would look in B&W.

And My Cowboy going into it.
We had a great time.
Thanks Cowboy
OK, now the antique find, this was one of the stops that we took on our trip coming back home. Cowboy knows that I like antiques and he makes the sacrifice in stopping just for me, he is very sweet like that.

This is it. It is metal, maybe you have seen the metal dishes with designs on them but I have only seen solid colored ones. I just had to have it, it goes really well with my kitchen. Here's a picture:


The dishes on top of the shelves are past down from Grandparents that have gone on to be with Jesus or my parents from when I was a kid. My Cowboys toy tractor and all of it equipment is up there too. Some day I will do a close up on it and show you more, but the pictures I did today are not very good. I will have to try again.
Thanks for reading my blog and hope you have a blessed day,
Kim
