New to Me

It's almost time to start driving again which means I need a bigger car. But, not a big car payment. So, I've been looking online at some of the smaller SUVs and the other day Chris found this 2003 Murano on Craigslist for a decent price. We're going to test drive it tomorrow afternoon and if all goes well I'll be driving it home!! It's got AWD, power everything, heated leather seats (yay for bun warmers!), bose sound system with 6-disc changer, sunroof, new tires, tow package, and high intensity lights (whatever that means). Oh, let's not forget dual front and side airbags, although I don't plan on ever having to test those out. It appears to be very clean from the pictures. I'll let ya'll know how it goes tomorrow!

Mouse in the House

Rex has secured his place in our household. . .he caught a mouse in the living room on July 4th. The evil little rodent was hanging out underneath the recliner where I happened to be relaxing watching Food Network. Rex is QUICK, but I must say that I was mighty quick myself as I ran to jump up on the couch. Chris set out a trap (he seems to think there are more. . .silly boy) but there have been no more sightings. I'm convinced that mouse was traveling alone.

Our friend Bill was gracious enough to loan us his canoe today and we took it out on Ruby Lake for a little fishing. I'll admit it, I was a nervous wreck about flipping it over. Everyone knows how difficult it is to get back in. We did great! Never came close to flipping. Chris caught one decent size fish and several bite size ones and I didn't catch a thing! It was still a lot of fun, though. Doubt I'll be able to move my arms tomorrow from all the paddling. Thank you, Bill!!
