Connie's Corner

A free ride...

Apparently, the others in my kayak group thought the lesson was a little tough also because yesterday Simon (actually Brack) called and said he wanted to take us on a free leisurely trip sometime next month on Newnan's Lake. Would I be interested? Hell, yes! So I am up for another kayaking experience...see my big smile?

My new neighbors have moved in next door. They have two cute little boys and a small bulldog. The guy is very friendly...the girl not so much, but she's probably stressed out from the move...plus her mother is helping...looking forward to getting acquainted.

My daily walk is getting earlier and earlier because of this heat...starting now at 7...pulled a few weeds along the fenceline when I got back this morning and by 8:30, it was steaming...did all my grass and edging yesterday. Tomorrow, hopefully, a "handyman" (recommended by a friend) is coming to clean out my gutters. I can do just about anything but heights. Ladders scare me to death. My legs actually start shaking on the second rung. Does anyone know a way to get over this? I would love to do my gutters myself...hate to rely on someone else.

A friend and I are going on "artwalk" downtown tomorrow evening. Gainesville is a very artsy place, one reason I love it so much. More on that after....

until next time...c
