Most Gorgeous Weekend

We couldn't have asked for a better weekend.  Sunny and warm with little bugs.  I think I got an overdose of vitamin D... so that should last me for the next 45 days of straight rain.

Alisha and I took quite a few walks this weekend and took some pictures of the fog that would not lift until after 12pm.  We also got to see a fogbow... when the fog/mist creates an arch... but without the color.  It was pretty interesting to look at.  I wonder what is at the end of a fogbow....

There was some bad news this weekend.  On one of our walks, my dog Suka was attacked by a dog 5 times his size.  We were so surprised!  This dog came running from the other side of the road and pounced on Suka.  I was shocked for a second or two, then got my wits about me and threw my coffee at the offending dog.  It separated them for two seconds then they were at it again.  I made kicking motions and stomped toward the fight scene and the dog finally got off of Suka.  I was so furious.  I walked up to the house where the dog came from and had a talk with a gentleman (who was not the real owner, but he apologized and even offered to refill my coffee).  He was put back in his cage and we walked on.  Suka is fine, by the way.  He just got a little puncture by his manhood area.

I think it might be a good idea to keep my cell phone on me to call the dog catcher whenever I see a dog off it's leash.  I'm tired of people not being responsible pet owners.  Keep your dogs on a leash, in your house, or in a cage.

On a lighter note, my Yankee Candle box came in and made my weekend.  I ordered some fall scents since I can't be home for fall.  I have one lit now called orange spice.  Smells wonderful.

Village Trip

Just got back from an awesome village visit with Vicki.  Erin, Angie, Mark and I took a trip out to Akula (sp?) to visit our friend.  We were supposed to go kayaking and camping... but the weather was kind of yucky and we found other fun things to do.  We spent most of our time singing, dancing, talking, and eating.  It was the perfect Labor Day vacation!

Plus, Vicki's house is decorated so awesomely.  When you walk into it, you can tell she lives there.  When I got home on Monday night, I immediately started cleaning my house and thinking of things to change or buy.  I walked to the AC store to buy some groceries and took a look around the "hardware" area for hooks, wall hangings, and other fun house stuff.  But, of course they didn't have anything.  I'll have to wait for the weather to clear up to walk to Swanson's.

So, thank you Vicki for giving me inspiration for my house! :)

I also had grand plans today to walk to the post office, but the hurricane force winds hindered me from walking.  I wanted to return a shirt from Eddie B., and mail my brother's birthday card.  He'll be 13 on Sept. 9th!  He'll finally be a teenager!  Hopefully, when I go home for Christmas, he'll still want to give me hugs and kisses.

And, today was the start of my grand jury.  I was picked to be on the jury, and not an alternate.  Also, I shall be the foreman-forewoman.  Nobody was volunteering so we were sitting around waiting... and I just thought, well, if I volunteer then we could go to lunch a little earlier.  So, I'm on my lunch break now, doing a quick blog.  When there's time, I'll post some of the pics from our weekend.
