Today’s Run: \u00a07.15 miles (hot and humid)<\/p>\n

After our run with the running group this morning, my husband and I drove over to West Point, Mississippi, for their Prairie Arts Festival. \u00a0We had attended a few years ago and wanted to go back. \u00a0Arts, crafts, food, music and people.<\/p>\n

We saw lots of paintings. \u00a0Abstract~large,colorful abstract paintings seem to be the “in” thing right now. \u00a0Lots of flowers made from smashed, cut up and painted tin cans. \u00a0LOTS of bird houses. And something interesting. \u00a0I actually bought a package!<\/p>\n

What I bought (among other things) was a package of four Alpaca Felted Dryer Balls. \u00a0These things are 100% Alpaca hair, felted into the size of a tennis ball. \u00a0\"\"<\/a>You are supposed to throw all four of them into your clothes dryer and you never have to buy dryer sheets or fabric softener again. \u00a0Interesting. \u00a0And with the ton of laundry I do, that would actually wind up saving a little money.<\/p>\n

So, I came home and did three loads of laundry. \u00a0And they work! \u00a0No kidding! (esty.com.shop\/coldwateralpacaranch \u00a0is where you can order some)<\/p>\n

The funny thing about this, is the dog must smell the Alpaca. \u00a0I do not smell a thing but he does. \u00a0He has been sitting by the clothes dryer (he saw me put the balls into the dryer) with his paw raised~begging! He wants a ball and he wants one bad! \u00a0I had to fight him off to fold laundry. \u00a0It is going on 5-6 hours since we came home and he is still by the dryer. \u00a0What a dog.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
