Kayaks

When we left New York, I wondered if we would use our kayaks in the near future. Our move to the south was looking bleak with places to kayak. The Mighty Mississippi was a scary option as I think that river is the grossest thing I've ever seen and I think that if any water from that river ever touched my skin it would eat my skin. So...I was learning to be content with the idea of riding in these huge water ditches they have in Tennessee. Not sure of the exact name, but when it rains (and it has been raining a lot here) they fill with water run off. There is one really close to our house and it had just enough water for the kayak to float, but not much more.

Well...here's the good news. There is a lake nearby (2 hours away). A pretty big lake. Our neighbor has a house on the lake. We went there this weekend and took our kayaks. After traveling through hazardous weather. There was a tornado warning in the area we were traveling through. The only reason we knew this was because of a radio interruption (you know the one with the long buzz) that came on and told us. I didn't know we were moving into tornado country!!

Anyway, we took our kayaks or rather our neighbor took them in his truck. So, on Saturday, there we were paddling along in our kayaks. We love those things. So relaxing! We did the usual and toured the coastline looking at houses. I will try to post a picture soon. We only took a couple pictures of the lake. It is pretty though. Just wanted to let you all know we were in our kayaks.

P.S. (can you do p.s. on a blog) An ice cream truck just passed our house. I didn't think those things still existed. Guess they do in our neighborhood!!
