Color run 2013

Wow am I glad I did this Fun run!  I could Have (& Have to admit to being tempted to) backed out Last minute since I didn't train a minute after registering When there was still snow on the ground.   So much Fun running with friends again! So much Fun being a small part of something for a greater cause.
If It's Not on your bucket list, it should be!

Grateful November 6

Grateful for this fantastic old friend!  Don't know where I would be w/o her!!

beating the winter blues

We set the date way back in January when we were all in the thick of the winter blues.  It seems we are all recovered from the holidays & ready to socialize again by February as we always manage at least one get together each February.

 this year we met at Rock Bottom Brewery for drinks & eats & lots of laughs!

 Lance, Val, Bethany & Jeff

 Nicki & Shayne & some Titan Toothpicks

Hupp & Lauren

 Nick & most of the group outside after

From there we went bowling- more good times! & a stray picture of the minis of the evening.

THis weekend will be much less exciting! a training for childcare all day tomorrow & relaxing on Sunday!

OH what a GREAT WEEKEND!!!

I didn't carry my camera much this weekend.. just to document the work LOL

We had a great supper w/the camping crew on Friday night.. well we were missing some but it was a great start to getting eeryone back together again!! LOVE THIS GROUP!!! & love that we can add a family or 2 each year & it is still great!!

Speaking of camping... Tim & I hit the road Saturday morning & headed to the lake!!! it was GORGEOUS!!! wish it would have been a camping weekend! it would have been perfect :) but we got our custom boat cover ordered, ate @ a new cafe, found a motel to try out sometime & found out our regular camp attendants weren't @ post yet :(

Unfortunately, we couldn't spend all day & had to come home & get to work. *sigh* We rented this splitter from a local store:

pulled out ole trusty chainsaw: & headed to the old property where we had a PILE of cut wood needing split. Sorry missed documenting the pile pre-split. :( but here is how wide it was: that is how much we have left to do w/a few here & there around the property.. about 4 hrs we think.

THIS is what we ended up w/after 8 hrs over the weekend. think it will get us thru the summer??? we sure hope so ;) Did I mention this is JUST for camping?

We also squeezed in a few meals, a birthday party @ the Eagle's, & being in bed by 11 both nights! OH & I tried my hand staining some OLD picture frames :)

So what did you do this weekend??

Ready! Set! GO!!!
