Ghoulies- World Dominion Tour. (Page 63)

Good morning Ghoulies!

Ann - does Keri ever turn off?  She is like the energizer bunny.

Robin - we too had the rain, and it is looking a lot greener today.  Leaves are opening up on the trees, flowers are blooming.

The Great Urban Race was a lot of fun.  There are pictures out on facebook, some I posted and some posted by my friend Beth.  There were 12 clues in all, and we managed to complete 9 of them.  We knew we weren't going to win, not without being able to move swiftly, and Frank is not moving fast on his hip.  I am proud of him though.  He was a trooper.

If we do this again we know to bring a paper map with us next time.  Just using a small map on the phone made it hard to get a good picture of the course.  We learned from listening to others, to try and solve all the clues before heading out.  That way you could them map out your route to have the least amount of distance to go.  Unfortunately, we did a bunch of backtracking, thus only completing 9 of the 12.  When you got to the locations, there would be a task for the team to do.  Solve a tanagram, flip pennies into a bucket while blindfolded, lasso a team mate, pick up noodles with a spaghetti without using your hands, knock the roller derby team member out of the square, flip a shell into a cup using a spoon and another larger shell as leverage, etc.  All in all, it was fun.  We all took turns with the different activities.  I would definitely do this again.  

Howdy Ghoulies.

Hi Ann, I have just some morning errands, doctors visits and then afternoon work. The rain made EVERYTHING green here, and the dogwoods are having a banner year. They are almost in full bloom. 

I saw parts of NC were getting some of the nasty weather that was in the south the past few days. Did you guys get any of it?

Turns out my foot alose has scar tissue impinging on the muscle. One of the reasons it hurts more now than it did. I have to do physical therapy for that as well. It will take a while, but if I am diligent, it should go away.

Morning Ghoulies.

It is starting out to be a gorgeous day here. I WANT to go and play in the yard! the guy is supposedly coming to get the stump out today by the garage. The other tree work got done over the weekend, he has to bring in another piece of machinery to get it out. Then I will start on rebuilding the wall that was there and re-planting the shrubs and other plants that were there.

Robin, I know you were upset that Kendra and I didn't go back and get you the wooden canoe, but was really no reason to knock down an 80 year old tree. Look at what a mess it ended up making.

Serenity now

Supposed to be warm and sunny here today, even warmer tomorrow. Could be in the 70's on Saturday and Sunday. It may rain Friday night, but I hope it doesn't. I took one of the 4-wheelers into the park yesterday and the one dad and I worked on the field. Our softball field is MUD. He drug it, and we let it dry for awhile, then he drug it again. I think that will help, especially if we get the sun, and breezy conditions they are calling for. We are going to do it again tomorrow. Right now the entire field is wet, but around 2nd, 3rd, and the pitchers mound are just a complete mess.

It looks like it was fun! My feet are glad I didn't pound out 22,000 steps (like your team mate). The pictures were great and it looks like you had fun and learned a lot from this time out. Where did you get that great jacket? I LOVE it.

Glad that you found the problem and have a plan of attack!

Good morning Ann!

I am sore!  Did I mention I am sore?  Staring simple strength weight lifting and boy can my body tell.  

Did I mention that I ordered noise canceling headphone for work?  The office gets too noisy and disruptive.  If distractions distract you, then you can't work in this office.
