Launch photo! We took a short paddle at Werner Boyce Salt Springs, on our way home from working as temps at the elections office today. My poor hat was all smooshed up in the kayak bag.
Broad Street Market keeps being good.
It’s our favorite new restaurant. Last visit, we treated our friend for her birthday.
Mining at The Canyon was fruitful.
I loved it, even though it’s fake. Except for the hunk of chert, which has a thin vein of sparkly crystals in it (not pictured, I forgot to get it out of the bag). One of the best parts of the tour was our guide Selena, who was into many of the same things I am! She’s a soul-sister.
Zip the Canyon was awesome!
We got the experience for Trav’s birthday. It’s an old limestone mine turned into a zip line adventure. We had a great time!
Our first night walk was a success!
We saw caterpillars, frogs, cockroaches, a fishfly, ants, spiders, and scorpions. Here are some pictures.
Looking at a spider in the grass. Fluorescent bark scorpion. Fishfly. Wolf spider? Eggs on a pine tree.
And, I made fluorescent rocks for people to find along the way!
It’s fun planning a new venture together.
We’re putting together a series of night walks at Crews Lake Park.
The freshly cleaned Keurig works so much better.
It was getting so I would start a cup of coffee and then go do some other stuff while I waited. Not any more!
Missy had a good, long life.
She would have turned 19 on April 1st. I’m going to miss her terribly. Our “Little Miss Adventure.” She was the last surviving member of the cat clan.
Hot soup on a cold, rainy day.
I’m looking forward to our ham and potato soup for dinner.
Trav’s birthday season continues…
We’re celebrating again this weekend, and also oxt week, with zip lining. The love has been amazing so far.
The stick-on chalkboard paper is perfect for labeling cigar boxes.
And sorely needed!! So many boxes, so little idea of what’s in some of them.
Mom’s printer’s lupe is good for looking at stuff.
I use it frequently, to get a closer view of things like rocks, coins, shells, etc.
I admire Trav’s work ethic. Happy birtday, Trav!
When he gets a work project, he stays on it until it’s done. 🙂
Aunt Susie can see well again.
Yesterday, she had her other eye treated for cataracts, and she doesn’t need glasses any more, except for reading.
The eclipse was neat.
It was a Super Blood Wolf moon, which is kind of rare.
Runkeeper talks to MyFitnessPal.
Our exercise is logged straight into my food diary, which I’ve been keeping because I put on 7 pounds over vacation and holidays… need to make my pants comfy again!
Added a dish to the Dining Options page.
We keep track of our favorite recipes which are suitable for our guests and today I added a delicious Apron’s dish we’ve had twice.
Lucky Pork and Beans – A crock pot dish of pork butt, seasoning veggies, rotel tomatoes, and black eye peas.
Steve’s surgery went well.
He fell off a ladder yesterday, and had to have rods and pins put in to repair his broken hip.
