One day on a lake in SC



Focus, focus....









It's one for the money,
two for the show,
three to get ready and...




Go! Go! Go!

Cooling off after the races...

A-hem, sir, I would like to take a moment to ask you to please visit Home Fires some time in the very near future. Yours and Vince's comments about my redneck husband have been spun off into a post of their own. So stop trying to get photos of boobies and go read damn it! ;)

I'll come right over and see, Lois, but I don't know about avoiding boobie pics. They're awful hard to resist.

Since you dropped by my blog I dropped in on yours :) you take great pics by the way. Better than school photographers for sure :D I was scrolling down and saw your reference to the falling woman bubble thingie is that not the most bizzare thing?! My kids love it but its at the same time disturbing. ;) ttyl melzie

I hear you Lisa. Summer is over far too quickly way up north. I hope you get a few more good days.

Thanks, Diane. You and Chris have such pretty blogs that y'all were part of the reason I got off my duff and did something.

Thanks, Melzie! (and I agree about the Flash! site being a touch disturbing--esp with her in a bikini)

That looks positively wonderful! Fun and invigorating and refreshing! John and I have talked more than once about getting into kayaking. Now if only they had place for children in them..... :)

Kayaking is great for kids. If you pick the right kayak, they're steadier than canoes. You do have to pick the right one tho--some kayaks are very tippy, mainly the ones built for speed!

Tandems, that are built for more than one person are ideal for really small kids. Though the blue one above has cargo hatches that can accomodate a child for a short paddle. The yellow one is designed for fishing and a kid can easily ride in front of an adult.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
