Flowers and Holes

I've had two things I wanted to share since last weekend, however, I've had no motivation to write them. So. Here it goes...

Sunday morning I was mopping the kitchen floor when I noticed that the air vent (mine are in the floor) was looking kind of nasty. I decided to take it out and soak in hot soapy water. Well... I went on cleaning and cooking, totally forgetting about the vent. I walked over to the coffee pot and BAM! I stepped right into the vent hole. I'm lucky I didn't twist or hurt my ankle/foot badly. I did get a few nice scratches and a bruise on my leg along with a cut on the bottom of my foot.  Just call me grace.

It hurt to walk for a about three days until the cut on the bottom of my foot healed. So.I got behind on my running. I rained all day Saturday and well, i just told you about Sunday morning. I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning. Hopefully the rain will go away.


Backtracking to Saturday. I needed to go to Hobby Lobby to get some supplies for my aunt's birthday party. We're throwing her a surprise 60th this weekend. Anyways, I noticed the fall flowers were on sale 40% off and I'd been wanting to get some for the pots by the front door. I always use fake ones in them because anything else would die from lack of sunlight. I found these deep red mum like flowers and bought them.

Once I was home, I cut them apart and put them in the pots. As I was taking the last pot back outside, (I had to do it inside since it was raining) I had a weird deja vu moment. I remembered doing the same thing last year. Yep! I climbed into he attic and found a Hobby Lobby bag full of red and orange mums. I just added them to the others and they look great! I remember thinking I needed more to really make them full last year. Needless to say I WILL NOT be buying fall flowers next year!

Before the addition of last year's flowers.


Last year's flowers.

Add I never took a picture of the finished product so use your imagination.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Floating the Caddo River

We floated the Caddo River with some friends Saturday. The scenery was beautiful and the water was flowing nicely. It took us a little over four hours and we only flipped the canoe once.  We came to some quick rapids and very low trees. While trying to duck under the trees, so our heads didn't get knocked off, we both leaned too far and there we went. Luckily everything was in dry bags and tied down. Well, almost everything. Kev was trying to put his phone back into the dry box but didn't get to it fast enough. His phone got wet, but seems to work ok after sitting in a bag of rice for a few days. I didn't have my shoes strapped tight so they slid off. A friend in front of us managed to grab one shoe and one paddle. We carefully walked the canoe across the rapid and dumped the water out. I will admit I was pissed off about my shoe. I didn't talk to Kev for awhile. I know it wasn't his fault, but I wanted to be mad at someone. He promised he would replace th
