AT home

I am on vacation this week, but we did not go anywhere. It is just too hot and Larry didn't want to take time right now. He is saving it until it is cooler. We did go to Ivie Lake a couple of weeks ago with Shell and Jerome and had such a good time that we are going again this weekend and Rick and Vicki are joining us. We are looking forward to sitting in the lake and drinking the beverage of our choice. Here at home I did some yard work (in the mornings while it was still a little cool) and then I tried to figure out how to tape onto DVDs with the new DVD/VCR we bought. I guess I need to wait for one of the girls to come home and show me what to do (how sad is that?). I did take one day and go to S.A. to return a dress I bought and tried on about 15 other dresses before I found one that I think will work. Needless to say it is a good thing that Larry was not along, although I could have dropped him off at the Bass Pro Shop and he would never have noticed how long I was gone. Then of course I had to stop at Target and wander around for a while and things just kept jumping into my cart. I hate when that happens. I would have put some pics of Lake Ivie on here, but I am on dial up here at home and I do have to go to sleep sometime. Back to work next week, but on to Lake Ivie first.

Moose and the creek

Well the moose made it, by 18 wheeler no less, but he is now residing in Rheingold. The crate was pretty big as you can see.

Here he is without his antlers. Looks kinda naked.
Here he is all decked out.
Then we had to have a little fun with him.
He lived on my utility room floor from Friday until Sunday.

He is now living on the wall in the "old kitchen" looming over our roll top desk.

When I look up from doing paper work this is what I see. Kinda scary. Hope he doesn't fall on me. I think it would hurt a little bit.

We then had a great day at the creek on Sat. We stayed until 10:00. Looks like we are having a terrible time doesn't it?

Colten caught a big catfish later in the evening and he was so excited that he fished until we left hoping to catch another one.
