My 42nd was GREAT!

Love slipping out at night to give horses a snack.

42

It's a popcorn and Propel kinda night. It's my birthday in 30 minutes so I deserve it.

And because it's my 42nd I shall have a fiber bar after....

Swimming Lessons

I failed swimming lessons.......

But I didn't let that stop me.....

It was only a stick in a mason jar of water last winter..

Jump Jam

Jump Jam. The guy asked Chris if I was going to jump. Chris said no.  Since it was near to closing time the guy told me I could jump for free.  I said "ummmm, no thank you".  Chris told him "she can't jump on the trampoline at home so she should probably stay out of the kids way". (Like he's a kid or something. ....lol)

Almost all of Them

Here are Amber and Colton. Niece and nephew. Missing from the photo I posted a couple days ago. Now only two great nieces left out and I need pics with.

The Year of the Stink Bug

They're everywhere!!

I hate being late

Would have been on time by my internal clock (12:45) for doctor's appointment except for the fact a lane was closed getting off one highway onto Kingston Pike. I'm thinking maybe the powers that be shouldn't close a lane of traffic during the day where UT campus and a major hospital are side by side. But that's okay. I'm not a road rage kinda girl. Especially when it's my fault I'm late.

Finally made in the parking garage at 1:10. Of course the elevator stopped at every floor on the way to the fifth.

After going faster than my body is made too, at 1:12 I'm in doc office. (Was able to park at entrance to parking garage due to a trick I've learned through the years.) As I signed in I noticed a sign that said "if you are 15 minutes late or more your appointment may be rescheduled."

I wrote my appointment time on the sign in sheet as 1:00 and arrival as 1:10 (I rounded down so I wasn't on the dreaded 15).

The lady asked my name. I told her Marna Hull. She punched some keys, looked at me and said "your appointment isn't until the 16th".

I do hate to be late......

Cupcakes made everything better.......

Orca

It's almost the end of another summer.  Pulling myself out of water onto boat swim platform?  I'm no better now than at the beginning of last summer. I still look like an orca sliding up onto a platform at Sea World for a fish.

East Tennessee

October 1

What is Tuesday? Well, it's the beginning of the NHL season.  But more importantly it's breast cancer awareness month. Ladies. If you haven't had your yearly mammogram make an appointment tomorrow.

Mazda vs The Dragon

As we were zooming down 129 today I kept watching for motorcycles to come up on us. I told Chris that the ole Mazda added a degree of difficulty to their taming of the dragon.

He laughed and kept on a zooming.  Reliving glory days from 20 years ago on his Yamaha I reckon.  (I think it was a Yamaha...and I think it was 20 years ago......)

I was gripping the door like I used to grip him on the back of that thing and asked how fast we were going?

Chris said, "Marna, I'm only going 35."

I said, "I want off the carousel..."

September 28 is 17 years

Mallie Belle
