three days without

a new post ~ oops, sorry Chester!

We haven't been doing much post worthy ~ what you see here is mostly what we've been doing!  But check out Arlo in these pictures - resting his chinny chin chin on that huge log.  He spent about 20 minutes sleeping like that!  I can't imagine it being too comfortable but he has to be by our side at all times so I guess this is what worked for him at that moment.  Far be it for me to criticize him.  By the way, Rick has given him a new nick name - "gas bottom" .... Arlo has been drinking a lot of lake water when he goes for his daily swim and let me tell ya the after effects are brutal ~ hence "gas bottom".  So brilliant and creative that husband of mine!


Okay, so we did go for a motorcycle "adventure" yesterday.  A ride that had the potential to be rather costly but thankfully wasn't because once again Richard got us through it!

I had this nice ride planned (for some reason I am the planner ~ still am not sure why, but it is what it is!).  So we were going around the lake, which I figured would probably be in the vicinity of 50 miles or so.  What I didn't realize is that we were going to be in North Carolina for part of the ride.  So about three miles after passing the welcome to North Carolina sign Rick pulls up next to me and asks if there is a helmet law in NC - OOPS ~ OH NO - OOPS .... of course we weren't wearing helmets, nor did we have them with us ... so we quickly turned around and got the heck out of North Carolina and got back into South Carolina home of no helmet law.  We did inquire at a local (SC) establishment and yes indeed there is a helmet law over there and we could have been hit with a $250. fine each!   Isn't Rick so smart and perceptive!
