I can always shop for fabric!
This past week was the birthday celebration where 5 of us girls went tubing in the Ichnetucknee River. That was on Wednesday. It was a lot of fun, great weather, and no sunburn.
On Friday evening DH & I and another couple and 1 single gal went down to Ocala to the Silver River, outside of Silver Springs and kayaked all day on Saturday. We got the kayaks into the water by 8:15 AM and it was 5:05 when we came back. There was a thunder storm just after we left the spring, so we paddled to the state park and took shelter under a seating area and ate snacks for about 45 min. We were all tired and ready for a break by that time.
This was a great upper body workout! Much more fun than going to a gym. It gave us a chance to talk and get to know each other more. After we got the kayaks back up and got on the road we stopped in Palatka for a great supper. I had the fried shrimp, we got an appitizer order of gator tail for the single gal. We all shared it. She is from Buffalo N. Y. and didn't really believe anyone ate gator tail. We had the world's best waitress!
I've been to fancy restaurants before, but this young girl was the best waitress in a little fish place in a little town. (Gator Landing in case anyone out there is ever in Palatka.)
Tired, doing laundry, catching up from the weekend here.
It's back to the normal Florida afternoon rain showers pattern. For the last 5 or 6 years we haven't had it, but this year we really are getting it. Thankfully!
OH! big news-after all the work in the front yard, side yard over the past few months, we got the neighborhood "Yard of the Month" award. A sign in the front yard for 30 days and a $25.00 gift certificate to a local restaurant.
All the hard work really paid off. Not to mention the 20 or so butterflies I see every day.
For 4th of July we plan to go with our dinner group to the restaurant on the river we first went to last year. I think all 10 of us will be there, not sure yet.
Time for a snack.
All the joging/walking is paying off. The pants are lose in the waist, but the scales have only gone down about 2 lbs.
I need to go grocery shopping, but can't bring myself to go out in the storm.
Maybe think out the quilting for one of the QOV that is finished -almost-.
This is too long.
Anyone read "Dear American Airlines" I just started it. Sad, funny, a few too much use of the "F" word, but I can't put it down.

Sara - Congrats on getting Yard Of The Month!!! Now the pressure is on to maintain the yard while the award sign is in front of your house. LOL
Glad you're getting some rain! If you have any left over, please send it our way. We haven't had any in over a month.
Sept. should be a good time for Ireland, but one never knows. Mother Nature will have her own way. ;o)
I'll have to look for the Amer. Airlines book. I may never fly again?
