Joyride in Tandem

Short but Doubly Sweet Tracking 

Our Easter weekend has been extra special for us this year.  Everything we've read and viewed and heard has reminded us deeply of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Resurrection, and our tears have flowed freely.
Today we enjoyed the Easter General Conference sessions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  The first session ended at 1:00 PM and did not resume for the second session until 3:00 PM.
The day was so sunny and bright and warm (in spite of freeze warnings two nights before last) that I halfway planned to go for a trike ride.
My lovely bride Jacque mentioned the idea of dragging out our tandem Terratrike for a dual ride.
This being a great idea, I didn't get it set up too early and she worried we would be too late to catch the start of our afternoon Conference .    I assured her we would not be gone that long so we loaded up the doggies and took off.
Riding the tandem is more work than riding single, for both of us, and a mile or two is plenty sufficient to get the pulse rate going.
We often get big waves and smiles from onlookers and passers-by, and we were treated today with a big wave from a lady looking almost as old as I am, hollering "I LIKE that!"  Of course she got big waves back, but Lilly just barked without waving.
It didn't take long for us to get back and we enjoyed another tear-jerking conference with so many wonderful tributes to our Saviour.
