Most of you know that my darling Francesca became my friend for life as we bonded in Tijuana. I got my band first, so she got to pick my brains about the surgery, and then I watched her wheel into and out of surgery. Her sister, Loretta, stayed with Francesca the entire time and treated me like a sister, she even brought me flowers and sat with me in my room.

Well, I've seen Francesca since then, but yesterday I saw Loretta for the first time since May of 2004, and she looks amazing! She was so inspired by Francesca's weight loss that she's lost 60 pounds on her own!

Now Francesca is officially a Harley babe. Not only did she sit on my bike, but she got on back and we went for a great ride together.

DELARLA LOVES FRANCESCA, SISTERS AND COUSIN!!!

Sexy Loretta!

Me & my pal.

Have I told you lately that I love you.... AND your pictures!

Tell Francesca *HI* from LBT!

BTW: who's the girl on the left - the one in the green pants?

Your photos are amazing!

There are very few times we are blessed with such good freinds.

Spunky :rockon:

I cry that Franceca and my sisters and cousin went home. The one in the green pants is Cousin. I told them they have a VERY dysfunctional family because they all call each other Sister and have cute nicnames for each other. They call their cousin, Cousin, and they all hug and kiss and love each other (weird for me coming from such a screwed up place.) It was the nicest girl lunch, and I love them all and wish they would have stayed longer. They love each other. Sisters love each other?

You all look great. I just love pictures. Hey Lisa take some pictures of the paint job that you had added to your bike, I haven't seen it yet.

JoLynn, I kept the details really simple. You can see the front fender in the top picture. It's a braid that goes from front to back with a heart & dice on the front (the other end of the braid has bones, like a barrett at the end.) And see my signature with the pink Harley wings? He painted the same decal (only bigger) on the saddle bags. Now I kinda wish I did just a little more but I was afraid to go too crazy all at once.

VROOM VROOM!!!!! :rockon:

How very fun!

DH has promiced that he's gonna put my bike back together so I can ride it. (that's right, I own a bike that I have never ridden. But in my definse I was in Idaho and it was here in Washington. Oh, and it's always been broken...) Lunching with the Ladies is so much fun!

Kathy, I refuse to wait, so get the pics posted now!

And Vines, the weather is perfect right now, so get that bike back together!

(Vines, I'm headed to the banster Sangria Suarez thread right now and need you to answer something there.)

Ok, ok!!!! I will try to sneak over to the house and post them this afternoon!!! They are really good and he looks so hot!

Hey Delarla! Here those pictures. These were taken on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day for riding...little windy but gorgeous!

Once again Kathy... your hubby is HOT!
