My Peeps

I have updated my bookshelf, tunes to listen to and moved some stuff around. I even added a new section, "My Peeps." I'm currently sad b/c I don't have any peeps. I'd like you to sign up and be one of my peeps...it just means you follow my blog...nothing serious or anything....doubtful you'll even get a Christmas card from me!! ha, ha.....help out a sista, ok????

Future Runner

Here is our future runner!!! Don't worry, we'll get her more appropriate running clothes and gear when she gets a little more serious about her training!

Washer Tourney

Last weekend we held the 1st Annual Comal County Washer Pitchin' Tourney. We didn't have a large turn-out, but we did well. As the president of the association told me, we broke even and that is good. Here are some pictures.....

My Life as a Blogger

I have friends that have such interesting lives...or at least the posts they have on their blog make my life seem so very boring in comparison. I have one friend that tells me her posts are true, but have a certain level of embellishment. I'm all about that....but even so, I look at my life and it is fairly boring.

Typical day in the life of Lynette: get up, get dressed, get Rileigh up and dressed, drop her off at Betty's, go to school, after school come home and teach swim lessons, fix dinner, bath/read/bedtime for Rileigh, work on the computer, get some reading done and fall asleep. That's it....nothing exciting, nothing that interesting......so I apologize for those folks that look here for excitement!! ha, ha.....you'll find some posts that have dark humor, but not excitement! But, by all means, come and visit again! :-)

115th Comal County Fair

I have been active with the Comal County Fair Association for over 11 years. This is the first year that Rileigh has truly enjoyed the fair. Last year we took her to the parade, but I'm not sure how much she enjoyed it. This year....she LOVED it. She laughed and clapped as the horses, fire engines and bands went by!

I took her to the bull riding competition today and she also was able to ride her first pony. She was so excited and held on like a trooper! There were some children that were crying, but Rileigh was laughing and saying, "Giddee Up!!" as she rode along. She cried when it ended!

We saw the chickens and ducks and was happily startled by a rooster crowing. She also learned not to put your hands in the cages of the chickens because they will peck you!!!

Book Talk Friday

Today we won't be having a book talk for two reasons: 1. I am knee deep in Washer Pitchin' Tourney stuff and 2. I am currently trying to catch up on my Reader's Digest magazines....they are piled up and I need to read and dispose of before they collect any more dust. I'll be back next Friday to share with you the ending of my book and the beginnings of my new book choice.

I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC weekend. If you are looking for something to do Saturday, come out to the Comal County Fair grounds for some washer pitchin' fun!!!!

Warriors in Pink

Have you heard of Warriors in Pink? I hadn't until last night when I was reading my Reader's Digest. This site has TONS of stuff that you can purchase (cute stuff) to support breast cancer research. 100% of the proceeds go to research and the stuff is very reasonably priced. Additionally, there is an entire line if you are an Army wife (I'm not, so I won't purchase that stuff, but it sure is CUTE!!). Warning to my family: you will probably be getting something from here for Christmas (yes, I've already started shopping and thank you very much, I am almost done!!!).

Happy Thursday, it is almost FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
