The weather has been beautiful (in between all the gushing rain) so we took advantage of it and went for another ride. I love to take pictures while we are going down the road but I can't believe any of them ever turn out since it is so windy and bumpy on the back of a bike.
At one of our stops along the way the sole of Brian's shoe totally broke right off. It was pretty funny to the rest of us, but he didn't think so. We took off again but he was complaining that it was hard to shift the bike with his shoe hanging like that.
We drove into Merrill to have lunch and take another break. The construction was everywhere. We couldn't get to Dairy Queen because we kept taking wrong turns.
We went back through the construction and hit a dead end and turned into a driveway to turn around. What was at the end of that driveway?????
A Factory Shoe Outlet store.......
What's the chances of that? I guess God didn't want him driving the bike and trying to shift with that darn broken shoe.
A new pair of shoes and we were on our way....
LOL...that is a very cool story..yay for his new shoes, they are pretty sharp! Looks like so much fun! :D

It's the little things in life that teach us some of the greatest lessons. The irony of it - we serve a God who knows best. Love this!
