Free to Play 5K
No, I'm not running any races, but Matt, Sabrina, Kara and I went to help Genessa with the 5K she organized, she did an outstanding job! Sabrina and I directed traffic right in front of the Springdale hospital...at the intersection of Maple and Maple. It was really really cold but we had a good time! Good job Genessa, you did an amazing job! Looking forward to helping again next year.

Changes around our house....
My dad and one of his friends built a cover over our patio and added gutters for us. We tried it out on Sat. night with a BBQ with Josh and Sabrina and Kenneth and Sarah.
And If you haven't heard or seen it, we got a new-to-us car. We traded in the Blazer and got a 2004 Accord. It's loaded and I love it. It has built in navigation, leather heated seats (after having leather in the Saturn, it's a requirement for me now.) Dual temp control, which Matt wanted and a bunch of other stuff that is run from the touch screen panel.
I took Abby and Remy on a walk this afternoon. I need to wear a sign that say "NO, YOU CANNOT PET THE DOGS." I don't like kids to pet them for a number of reasons, first, kids run up to them and they don't like that, second, kids travel in a herd and I don't like a bunch of kids around us, and finally, we are on a walk for exercise...if I have to stop and let everyone pet them, we aren't accomplishing what we have set out to do.
Another issue with our walks is the high population of cats that roam the neighborhood. I hate cats, they are the most worthless, useless animal and Abby and Remy have that dog instinct to bark and chase them...see post from last Nov when they caught one in the back yard...So, I came up with 2 solutions to the cat problem. First, Cat Punting could be a form of fun entertainment for the half time of local football games, second, if we gather all the cats in one place, and tossed one into the street in front of a speeding car in the neighborhood, so the cat would be like a speedbump, we would be eliminating the cat and slow down the traffic. Two birds with one stone. People really drive fast through our subdivision, that really makes me mad....there are kids that either play out in the street or run through it a lot. I just pray that none of them get hurt.

Yesterday was WILD!
So, yesterday morning K and I went to Hobby Lobby to do some research on somethings for the retreat. We were in the bead aisle and an old man walks up to us and asks what a choker necklace was. K explains it to him. He asked if he could put his hands around K's neck! I'm thinking...."old dude is going to strangle her!" My gosh, I almost died, right there in Hobby Lobby. She handled it soooo much better than I would have. She was very nice and let him measure her neck, while I was trying not to fall apart next to her. I am thankful that God gave her so much grace with the situation!
Last night, Matt and I had to go to Walmart and since I had been gone all day and Abby had been such a good dog last week when we went to Petco and stopped at the AT&T store to see S., we decided to let her go too. When we parked, I got out and she jumped out with me, no leash. She took off around a few cars and up to the front of the store. There was another girl, probably about our age, that was walking in, and she called her name and Abby ran right to her, thank goodness! Abby is grounded from car rides for a while.
