Run for a Wish

This morning I woke up at 4:15 to get ready for the Chi Omega Run for a Wish 5K. It was extremely difficult to get going since I had stayed up til midnight Friday night. We went to dinner with Kev's family and stayed out way past my bedtime.

SoI got moving and I drove the 2 1/2 hours to Jonesboro. It was actually a nice drive. No one was out and about at that time of the morning.

Since I stuffed my face with steak the night before instead of carbs, I took along some sport beans. I usually only use those for longs runs but figured it wouldn't hurt. Well.... I forgot to eat them.

All in all it was a nice run. I didn't win a place this year, but made good time considering this is the third time I've ran since the LR Half. The girl who placed third in my age group literally crossed the finish line seconds before me. I'm good with forth place.
They granted a little girl a wish this morning for a play house. Now I was picturing a house that you set in the backyard. No not this play house. It sits up in a tree. Not just one tree but two. It has a walking bridge that goes to a lookout point. It's pretty awesome! I wanted a picture of the drawing they had displayed but couldn't get it. I was at the wrong angle and too many people back.

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.

Dogwoods

Sunday I inventoried our Dogwood Trees. We have 24 total. Some are just small bushes. There are probably about 12 big trees. I marked them so that when we are clearing brush later we won't kill them. My hope is to clear out some around them so they can all grow into large trees. They are absolutely beautiful to look at!!! I want to get some more pictures, but I got Poison Ivy on my legs the other day so I'm staying out of the woods for now.
