Ada Monroe

Ada Monroe, our American Bulldog had a seizure a couple of nights ago.  This is us on the way home from the vet.  She was happy, happy, happy to get in my car.

Boat House

Kids First Boat Ride

My great niece Mallie Belle and great nephew Jack had their first boat ride with us yesterday.  Most fun day on the lake ever.

First Disappointment

First disappointment with having my first Smartphone.

I was showing Chris how to speak into my new phone and how it will type and send as a text message.  Chris flipped his flip phone open to "read" my text, pressed a button and his phone "spoke" my message to him.  With a smirk on his face I might add. Ok. So his flip is more advanced than my flip had been..........  I didn't know.......

Point of View

Sometimes I have to remind myself instead of asking myself "why can't they see my point of view?", think instead "I can see their's".

Worst Things About Being a Smartphone Owner

Worst part of being a new smartphone owner.......Candy Crush....or whatever it's called.



The other worse part of being a new smartphone owner is your alert tone randomly ringing while unable to figure out why it's ringing.......and it's the theme song to "The Walking Dead".

Cornbread Salad and Friends

Yum!!!!  Cornbread salad.  Hmmmm....the past few weeks I've had so many nice things done for me.  Surprise in my mailbox  of canna lilys shipped from a friend, thoughtful help loading the soil to plant them at Wal-Mart, and tonight a friend making cornbread salad for me.

The Crash Reel

A must see, a must see, a must see....Even if you're not really into extreme sports or snowboarding this documentary film is a must see.

Summer's End Lake Time

Beginning of the End of Summer

Snowboarding vs Canoe

I'm a warm fire in the winter and would love to try a canoe for summer.  I told Chris he should try snowboarding with Amber and Bryce this winter. I can sit by a fire with a nice cup of hot chocolate and my Kinde.    

He said that's like the plans he had for me this summer.  "Get you a canoe and drop you off in a cove on the lake with a sandwich, a bottle of water, and a book."  

I told him that sounds great, if, I could have an anchor and a pillow for a nap.....    

Dating

As we were driving down the road home from eating at Bert's I told our friend he needed to play the love song on the radio to his new girlfriend.

He said, "dating is like going to school. You don't want to start school with A's. You want to start with an F and work your way up from there. "

Interesting philosophy I guess......

Socks

Hmmmmm......My wearing of socks frustrates my husband. Tonight as I was putting on a pair Chris gave me that "how many pair of socks have you worn today?" look.

Before he could voice the actual remark (because many times he means it as a remark not a question) I spoke up and said, "this is the first pair I've had on today!"

Chris said "no, really, is that like your fifth pair?"

I said "no, really, this is the first pair."

Chris "no it's not."   Me "yes. Yes it is. "  Chris "Marna...."

Me "honey, my feet sweat."

Chris laughing that big laugh of his said "Marna, your feet sweating and wearing socks.....that makes all kinds of sense."

Niece

We were TIRED at the end of the night!!

My great niece, Chelsea, and I after two Jiffy dogs, while watching "The Walking Dead", then worked out to "Insanity" to end the night with watching "The Crash Reel".  Fun times!

Wipe the Sweat from my Brow

I walked in the bedroom in an Insanity stupor after migrating around the living room waving my hands up and down trying to work up a sweat without bursting my heart or falling down after slipping on that sweat which really wasn't that hard to work up and see Chris, who was DYING to buy Insanity six months ago, playing on the lap top.  Chris looked at me and said, "Gaw, that really works does it? You weren't in there 15 minutes."  He then proceeds to wipe the sweat off my brow.  Thanks babe....
