Today’s Run:  Rest Day

Today was the day we were supposed to be blown off the map.  Five to seven inches of rain they said.  And parts of Mississippi did!  We received a scant .28 inches of rain and a nice soft breeze.  No theatrics.  No tornadoes or lost power.  No floods.  Just a little bit of soft rain.  So much for the hurricane/tropical storm and now tropical depression Isaac.  He had a difficult time reaching us here in East Central Mississippi.  Which is fine because we have had our fair share of severe weather over the past year and the break is most welcome.

I feel the need to vent/rant whatever you want to call it.  Exaggeration really bothers me.  Something has occurred that has really pushed my button and exaggeration is a large part of the issue. So if you ever feel like stretching the truth a bit, call a spade a spade and face up to the fact that it is a lie.  I have been pretty upset about this and now I feel a little bit better.  We now return to our regular programmed blog…

So, when we were at the Iowa State Fair a couple of weeks ago, we saw the largest steer, largest hog, largest pumpkin (907 lbs?) and the largest cabbage!  They grow things big in Iowa!  So, I will include a pic of the largest cabbage at the end of this post.  You will see my husbands hand to the left of the cabbage for size reference.  It was BIG!

Tomorrow I go back to the eye Dr. for my one week post surgical check up.  I am hoping to get clearance to go back to the weight room.  It has been five weeks since I have been there and I am really missing it.  Everyone there might have forgotten me!?!  Maybe not.  Either way, I will find out how my eyes are doing and that is a comforting thought.

Well, Paxton (the destroyer/dog) is asking to go out.  I will show you that cabbage now.
