Going for a 5:30 a.m. run

And I'm EXCITED about it, but need to go to bed.

G'night!

Casualty of heat

Well... Steve is gone and I came home to find the house so hot at 9p.m. that I just want to scream. But, I went out to make sure our animals have enough food and water. Parker is great (he has the kiddie pool to play in and drink from). Check. The chickens needed some water. Check. But all is not well. Liza has escaped from her cage. I try to catch her. She is not willing to be caught. Oh well, I think, I'll go check on Henry. Henry, however, has fallen victim to the heat, I think. He is dead. I feel terrible that we didn't do enough for him... he had water and the whole bottom of his cage is open and off the ground, but i guess that doesn't help when there's no breeze... it just wasn't enough these high heat days - to be in a cage. I am really bummed - but I admit, I'm not bummed that he's gone. We had already decided that we were going to post them on craigslist to give them away. I'm just bummed that we didn't do enough to keep him alive - like we failed. Ugh :(

This heat is really miserable.

Holy Moly - has it really been 6 months since my last post?!

I suppose it has! Over the last six months, much has happened and it would take too long to post here. I will say, in one of my last posts, I indicated that I was going to start training to run a 10K - and i did it. Ran the Butte to Butte on July 4. It was good to do - and I'm still running regularly - mostly because my friend Annie is keeping me inspired.

I have gotten back in touch with a lot of folks from my growing-up years and that has really been a blast - forming new "old" friendships and whatnot.

Steve and I became official members of our church this month.

We have gone camping a couple of times this summer, and have few more trips planned - maybe even climbing the middle sister at the end of August.

All in all, life is pretty good. Maybe I'll post something more before another 6 months has gone by. But only if you're lucky. Very lucky.
