Afternoon Hike--Fox Run Regional Park

-
David and I are trying to do more
walking for a couple of reasons.
First, I am trying to lose weight.
(It's out there now,
so no turning back!)
Secondly, we are going to 
Washington, D.C. this October
 with my siblings and spouses
(CAN'T WAIT!)
so we want to be ready
for lots and lots and lots of walking.
Fox Run Regional Park
was our destination today.
Not a bad spot for a hike, I'd say!
Love the way the trees
reflected in the water.
A different shot
Don't the black markings
at the bottom of this tree look
like a lopsided heart?
You cannot see the sign too well, but
it was about lightning strikes on trees.
See the tree in the background.
If you know David well, I bet
you can guess what kind of t-shirt
he is wearing.
I wonder if some type
of animal lives
in the hole in the bottom of
this tree stump.
There are still a few
wildflowers blooming.

The fall berries are
beginning to appear as well.
The sun shining through
the trees was beautiful.

Thanks for going on our
hike with us.

It is so much more green than the two times I've been there. Beautiful! I must have gotten my "I wonder if an animal lives in that hole in the tree." from you. :) Wonderful how mothers can influence the imaginations of their kids! Kelly

New Walking Shoes

-

I have loved the Dansko shoes that I wear when it is cool. But I needed some comfortable walking shoes and amazingly Dansko now makes  "tennis shoes". They are so comfortable, although a little wild.  Probably should have gone with a more neutral pair, but these are fun. And to all the fashion police out there, no, one pant leg is not longer than the other.  It is just the angle of the camera. Sheesh!!!!!

Laundry Dilemma

-
Image
OK, all of my friends in Blogland, I have a problem and those closest to me are getting tired of me showing them my laundry dilemma and of me trying to get them to help me figure it out so I am sharing my problem with you in hopes that some BRILLIANT person can help me. Several, and I mean several of my shirts are getting holes in them. I hope you can see from the pictures below--I have put a red cloth behind the holes in hopes that they would show up better. They start out with tiny little pinprick holes and then they "grow". They are always right about waist level. I have been working on this puzzle for a several weeks because I don't want to have to replace all my clothing every few weeks (although there is a Stein Mart in Colorado Springs.) See the solutions that have been ruled out. not one of my bracelets puncturing the cloth no, I'm not wearing a belt that is puncturing the cloth it does not seem to be something that I am leaning up against the seatbelt ...

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...
