Band on the Run 5K

Who's idea was this? Oh, right, mine! What was I thinking?

All I can honestly say is it's done and I got the T-shirt...whew, and I'm glad that's overwith! And for the record the course was LONGER than a 5K. I KNEW it, too! it was 3.44 and when you are a non runner that matters!

Winner!!!

However, the real runner in the family took first place in his age group, WOOHOO for him.

Homecoming

Who doesn't like a parade? Even if it's sprinkling a tiny bit a parade can brighten your day!

Today we went and watched the NHS Homecoming parade. Really! Partly just for something fun to do, the people watching was INCREDIBLE, and partly cause we knew the Grand Marshall pretty well and wanted to be supportive.

 WooHoo for the Super Bee being such a sweet ride!

 

 We also knew a band kid! 

It was a fine time watching the people and the parade! Nice to see the community support.

Then we followed up later in the evening by attending the football game. That didn't really turn out so well as there was a weather delay, we decided to go home rather then wait it out, so Nevada was in the lead at the delay but not sure how it turned out.

The band performance at half-time was interesting and since we know a band kid that was cool. And I must say the Tigers played much better ball tonight: MUCH better. They have improved significantly.

Well, that it for another exciting installment of MO fun!

Adventure is worthwhile. Aesop

MO productivity!

Yes, we are still in MO and still busy. There is always something to be done no matter the day or weather. It's been quite lively in our world and we haven't minded a bit. A body in motion stays in motion...or at least that's what the commercial said, LOL! Our bodies have definitely been in motion though the day after that motion is sometimes slower :)

And who knew September would be so stinkin' hot! Crikey, it's been warm! 

A few pictures from the last few days...

Ticked Off

We've had the noseeums in Florida, Mosquitos in Wyoming and chiggers right here in Missouri, last year the chiggers were horrible as was the poison ivy. This year just a few chigger but oh my, the ticks, they are abundant and I'm sooooo over the said ticks! Seriously, every time we go south we come home with these buggers. And not just one or even two, it's like 7-8, 10 or 12 or more.

I honestly pray we do not "get" anything from these minute pest. They are so stinkin tiny! I'm paranoid and somewhat fearful but also know you unfortunately cannot live in a bubble. In the meantime we will continue to spray ourselves, do tick checks and bag the ones we pull off! Ugh!

We all live in glass houses, and no one has clean windows.
