Our friends Steve, Susan and Sierra visited Tallahassee this weekend. We were lucky enough to hang out Saturday (along with their friends Jim and Kim). Oliver and I joined them for a kayaking on the Wakulla River. I have never rowed any type of boat before yesterday. The weather was bearable, the afternoon rains had actually lowered the temperatures somewhat. Once Susan and I were able to maneuver the kayak so we traveled in the direction we wanted to go, the trip was pretty relaxing. Steve and Sierra tipped over once and hopefully Steve’s head is feeling better today. It inspired Sierra however (A rather fearless 6 year old) to swim around in the river a while. Olie, however, decided it was too cold after a quick drop in the water. We had a great time.

After the trip on the river, everybody came back to our house for dinner. Sierra and I Olie got along great.

My arms ached Saturday night from the exercise. Still, I look forward to taking a canoe on the river next time.

Repairman Rick came and replaced the busted belt on the washer machine. He gave it a tune up as well. I just did a load of towels that not only finished within an hour (before the fix it could take almost 2 hours) it didn’t sound like a ‘57 Chevy! I am cautiously optimistic at this point. Hopefully it will last.

It needs a new belt. Of course it needs to be ordered. No washer for a few more days. Argh!

I have joined the dark side….

Its been a while since I rode my bike longer than down the street and back.  Oliver has decided he doesn’t like the longer rides anymore.  I hadn’t had the time to go out alone in about a month and a half.  Today I got in a 20 minute ride.  Now its time to pull some weeds….
