Walking, Kiddo's and Bears....... Oh My!

Three little brown fur balls and Mama! Jen sent me this pic of their trash being assaulted last Tuesday, about 2 days after we had a bear munching in OUR garbage. She had just been saying that she was disappointed that she'd not seen any bears this year. I guess this made up for it. (Click on the pic to pull it up to a larger size)

School starting soon. Kids getting excited. So is Mom!

Just thought I'd throw this picture of my lazy shark in for good measure. She (yes, its a girl) loves laying on her side on this rock. Just waiting for feeding time...

My walking is going well. Averaging about 2 miles a day. That's pretty good for me. Working on increasing the distance. Just have to quit wheezing on the hills! Ha Ha! I'd like to get to about 3.5 to 4 miles daily before the winter weather sets in. I do anticipate keeping up the walking even in that time of year. Do you think I'll need to wear different shoes then? Anxious to find out.
David working non-stop on his book. He has to have the first 25% turned on the 15th of the month. The date for release has been pushed back a couple of months, I believe. But we'll let everyone know when to check in the book stores for it, definitely after the first of the year.

I'm starting to get the painting bug again. I really want to re-paint the upstairs family room. Problem... How do I move a 150 gallon aquarium to do the painting? I suppose I could just paint around the thing and then paint the wall when we have the floors redone sometime in the distant future. The room really needs a new coat of paint after 11 years. I guess I'll start looking at colors and then decide if I want to move the aquarium or not.

Do you have any idea just how lucky I was to catch a picture of the "thing" living in our basement? I know the picture is fuzzy, but I had to hide and spring out when it emerged from its hiding place.
