Good adventure morning to ya!

The vanishing Yo is checking in to update on me lil' whereabouts! 

I've been doing nothing.  How's that for excitement!  :)

I'm hoping to get out and ride today.  Want to go to Old Man's Cave and hike at least part of the Grandma Gatewood trail before it gets too late.

On the entertaining side!  While working out to Billy Blanks Bootcamp Cardio, I saw Jeff plowing full steam across the yard - right behind him was one angry robin. ROFL!!!  Jeffie was running for his lil' life!  He dived under mom's house and hid.  ROFL!!! 

Jeff's now sleeping on his fave AVON box beside the bookcase.  Birds can't see him there.  LOL

hmm....A Lemony idea!

Lemon posted this idea in her Cottage by the Sea blog. 

A place I love....well...if we pretend England and Disney World don't exist, then I have to go with Hunting Island State Park in South Carolina!  : )

I love it there!!!  I love the dead jelly fish on the beach!  I saw my first horseshoe crab there!  It was beached and upside down...but still alive. 

I love the saltwater marshes!

Speaking of crabs, I saw one doing something really weird on the beach!  I didn't know crabs used fishing poles!




I love watching the fishing boats. 

I swam with the dolphins!  Ok!  I was actually trying to chase them as they went past me, but close enough.



I nearly got swallowed by a giant, evil clam there, who had really bad breath!!!




I'd like to marry the lighthouse!  I love lighthouses!  Here's a quick sketch I did of the one there back in '97:




That's the other thing I loved.  I loved sitting on the beach and sketching everything in sight. 

So!  Lemono!  There's mine!  Bet you're wishing you never asked. LOL

PS: I used to go there nearly every month.

PS...

PS:  the story of Jeff was written while looking outside the window typing a play by play, thus!  Lots of typos!  LOL

pray!

Time once more to offer sacrifices to the rain gods.  Just kidding.  We're under flood watch tomorrow afternoon through nite.  I've already started flood proofing the outside and spending all morning tomorrow lpreparing for the worst. 

We just had 1/4" yesterday and the water raised behind the cottage enough that I could sit in the living room and hear it.  We have 1 - 3" coming tomorrow.  That's roughly 3 - 8" in the cottage.

Guess I can't complain.  It's been awhile since I got nailed - but I'm going to complain anyway.  Yes, I would have died in the desert for k'vetching about the manna.   LOL!!!

Anyway!  I put a new product review up at the Wrinkle and added a couple magazines. 

I'm sleeping out in my bivy (tent) tonight.  I need to check how waterproof it is.  It might not rain overnite, but I'm hoping it will a little.  The nice part?  The cats will be inside and I'll be outside. aaahhhh.... (happy grin)

Welp!  Off to do some more flood proffing and there goes Jeffie up the flag pole. BLAST YOU JEFF!!!  YES!!!! YES!!! YES!!! THE ROBINS JUST SHOVED JEFF OUT OF THE VINES, HE HIT THE GROUND AND THEN ONE OF THEM SMASHED HIM RIGHT IN THE BACK!!! He's hiding under the holly tree.  LOL!!!! 

The robins are sitting close by waiting for him this time.  I hope they get him good.

Anyway, I'm gone!

Terrible, horrible, no good very bad day...

Poor Bindi.  He's having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.  He woke up to me stepping on his paw. 

Then he barfed 3 times. 

Then he got grounded for about an hour because I caught him on the other side of the bridge, playing near the road. 

Then he got caught again. 

Then he got attacked by a cat. 

And all of this happened between 7:00 AM - 11:10 AM! 

Now he's sitting on the porch.  I think he's trying to stay out of trouble. lol
