Ruby Does Rochester

If I were really cool, I would begin this entry with references to Ruby on Rails (or RoR, as those in the know say), but I'm not. Instead, I have typical vacation pics. Yep, this is what you get when you take someone's bike on vacation.

First, you have to introduce her to everyone. Her name is "Ruby," but she's so exotic, she had the French translation of her name tattooed on her chest:

She did not want to travel coach. She wanted a sleeper car. So, we made her a lovely bed:

We let her choose the soundtrack for the trip:

And the side trips:

And where we ate:

Every night, when we finished the drive for the day, we brought her up from the van and let her luxuriate in the room:

Every evening we tucked her in and read books aloud to her to help her fall asleep, including stories about her favorite conspiracy theory (Jack Ruby) and her favorite bunnies (Max and Ruby):

We only had one oversight. We forgot to pack her bedroom slippers:

Finally, after what seemed to Ruby an interminably long time, she was at last reunited with Davis.

Time past more quickly then, though it still seemed an eternity. Finally, she found liberty and her new summer home: Rochester.

I think Willie is really missing Ruby. You see, unbeknownst to anyone, the old lady next door has been letting Willie out every night to take Ruby for a romp and to howl at the moon together. Willie's long legs kept those pedals flying as they tore through the night and chased after bunnies.

Ruby is so blessed to be cared for so tenterly. I'm sure she is happy to be back with Davis - I just hope she enjoys the new territory they'll explore.
And we are blessed by your seemingly endless wit, creativity and the amazing effort you put forth in keeping us updated and entertained! Thanks!
