For me, that means it's time to start going over the duck hunting gear and - to the great dismay and irritation of the Mrs. - time to start repainting decoys. "Mom, where's Dad?"<BR/><BR/>"Where do you <A HREF="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b125/vitaminE2d/002blocks.jpg" REL="nofollow">THINK</A> he is?!" ;-)<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm glad to read that you're still running. Two nights ago, I did a 5k run for the first time EVER and last night - supposedly a night off from running - I did another two miles. I'm ALMOST addicted to that most unpleasant of activities. As far as weight loss goes, I've seen very little; but I feel GREAT and am definitely exchanging fat for muscle. Good for you Deb, Keep it up!erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184609922829937051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-28820185845892900012008-07-23T06:00:00.000-05:002008-07-23T06:00:00.000-05:00Running every day?

Hope your feet feel better soon - you might want to get some footbeds for your shoes if you don't already have them.<BR/><BR/>How far are you running? I just started up for the first time in nearly 15 years last week. I'm embarrassed at how little distance I'm doing, but feel good that I'm getting out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-18488129439488994062008-07-21T21:05:00.000-05:002008-07-21T21:05:00.000-05:00I was just telling Art last night that the air sme...I was just telling Art last night that the air smells like high summer- for me that means clover. Next will be goldenrod, then comes that kind of sweet brown grass fragrance that signals summer's end. I LOVE the smell of summer air at night. <BR/>We're heading up to Hasty on Wednesday evening or Tursday morning to stay through the weekend. We're meeting with a "septic designer" on Friday to see if we can put in a septic system. I'm afaid the creek set-backs will prohibit it.<BR/>Hope your feet feel better with a little rest. I'm proud of you and your efforts.Lynne at Hasty Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187035706322695138noreply@blogger.com
