How Well Can You Spell?

Spelling is NOT my gift as many of you have probably seen from my blog. Not having spell-check is one thing I would change about Blogger. Well, here it is the Encarta "How Well Can You Spell?" quiz. I can't. I made 5/15. This puts me on the B Team or even the C Team for the spelling bee. Tell me how you do...

Goose Hunting

The only thing I had ever huntd before was a good sale Old Navy or Ross until Saturday. Saturday I hunted me a goose. I have gone to the pond to feed the geese before, but never went out to kill one. This was WAY different. You have to wear camo, water proof boots, a hat, and lots of bug spray. Did you know that from the sky the geese and ducks too can see your eyes?? That's why we had to wear the hats, so they couldn't see our eyes.

The funniest part was getting me dressed to go...as you can see from the picures. The pants I wore were Josh's old ones. They have cinches on the sides and we pulled them ALL the way in. And we borrowed some boots from his parents that were a womens size 8 and I wear a 6 1/2...I deff had some clown feet going on.

My only jobs were to remeber the bug spray, and to carry my bucket (to sit on) and my Propell. Josh did the rest..he even had to carry me and my bucket a few times over the water.

We saw one goose, but he was on the ground and Josh said that killing it like that is not very sportsman like. So we came home empty handed. (I was kinda glad...what in the world would I do with a dead goose???)

We had a great time! The best part was spending time with Josh doing something he loves. He was SO excited about me going that he has talked about it all week. And I will deffinitely do it again.

Fall Education

We all need to always be learning about something, especially things we love...like Fall. I found this little quiz and thought I would share it with you. It's only 10 question...I only got 5 out of the 10. I had a few things to learn. What will you learn???

FALL...it's coming!

it's coming!!!
What's coming? you ask. FALL is coming!! i knew it was on it's way the other when i was sitting on my porch putting on my shoes for a run and there was this refreshing breeze. it wasn't hot and thick like it is in the summer. another big clue is that i sweat less on my run after work. and everyday i have the great urge to make chicken soup or chili for dinner.
fall has to be one of the greatest things about living in south carolina. all of the seasons are here in s.c. and they each are special. summer as a kid was hands down my favorite..no school and my birthday is in july, but as i have grown up fall fall has caught up. fall was the worst as a kid b/c that ment back to school and no more swimming which was my absolute favorite thing to do. there is spring that is beautiful and full of life. and winter is great for the rest it brings and the slower pace of life.
the funny thing about me writing about this whole "love" for the autum season, is my brother and my sister and i used to harrass our mom about how only "old" people rant and rave about how beautiful the leaves are and how wonderful fall is. so i have now graduated to be an "old" person who loves this time of year. it was the middle of august and i was dying to start decorating for fall, but i did restrain myself and i waited to the first weekend of september. i hope that you all grow "old" in you love for fall this year.
