Polar Bear 5K

Got up this morning and headed to Pine Bluff to run a 5K for Special Olympics. My friend who talked me into running my first half marathon, was putting on this race. My highly reliable weather channel app said it would be partly cloudy and 45 at race time. Well the app isn't so reliable. It was cloudy, damp, and freezing! Of course once I was a mile in I warmed up nicely. For some reason I ran faster than my usual pace and finished in 32 minutes. I am proud to say that I won second place in my age group!

They all stayed and did the Polar Bear Plunge. I'm not that crazy! Anyways I had I get back and meet my dad at my land. More on that later...

It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

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.
