Good Morning porchers, sounds like we need some cool spring water for our western friends to cool off in... That reminds me of a story from my summer visit to Florida this year...I loaded my kids, my mom, Brian and his son, and took them to Juniper Springs State Park in Ocala FL, where there is a beautiful canoe run...Brian had never been in spring water, and neither had his son ever done anything remotely close to what we were doing...The canoe run consists of countless twists and turns, constant ducking to get uder a log, and actually sometimes getting out of youe canoe to drag your boat over a log....its alot of work, but the beauty of the wild of Florida is full blown there....anyway, it was alligator mating season, and we were immersed in the wilds...first ones of the day on the run....a little scary, with your mom, 3 white knuckled kids, and a hubby that had been canoeing only once, (and with me) since he was a boyscout! I didn't do well, when off to the right bank, there was a very scary 15 ft gator....(we learned his exact size later from the park ranger, and the young couple who saw him later, as he swam in front of their canoe! Can you imagine?! Anyway...that FREAKED me out, a had canoed this run dozens of times my whole adulthood...but what was worse than the gators, was when the boys canoe pushedd me into a hollow log, and inside , right next to me, was the largest brown spider I had ever seen!!!!There was no where for me to go, the boys canoe kept shoving me into it, and my moms end of our canoe was stuck in the rear! I screamed, and I mean continously screamed, fkailed, and was inches from this nasty, childs hand sized spider! ( I just knew it was going to eat me alive! Well, in all mt flailing, I was tipping our boat, making the kids cry, and making my mother cuss (this doesn't happen but once a decade!!!!) I ended up bailing out of my boat, straight into Brian's sons lap, in the next canoe!!!!! He was FREAKING!!!! Heres some 130 pound crazy woman ON his child lap! Meanwhile, my mom and Chloe unwedge their canoe, and start paddling away, only to discover the chicken butted woman (me) took my paddle with me! (Talk about paddling upstream with only 1 paddle!!!) Anyway, my mom was pissed, Brian had all but pee
d jis pants laughing at me, and I eventually, swapped back into my rightful, (or undeserved) place in the girls canoe...
My motto, don't sweat the little things in life...run like hell!!!!!
Boy, did I go off on a tangent...lol!
We're going camping this evening...this is me doing my motherly duty....because I think, who in their right mind, would want to leave a comfy airconditioned house, for ants, heat, and more heat and mosquito's????
Have a great day everyone!
And I agree about the heat. Once it hits about 90 here and stays there for weeks on end, I get so disgusted with the weather. 
! Got in trouble by a Ranger for bagging a few rocks. Oops, can't take me anywhere! (one of my weird things, I collect rocks or shells from places I visit)
I switched dentists about 1 year ago because I didn't like my old dentist but had to use him until the insurance changed. When I went to my new dentist he told me that I had several cavities and asked how long it had been since I had seen a dentist. I told him 6 months and he was shocked. :o Apparently he said that some of these cavities could not have just come up in the past 6 months so I had had them for a long time and the old dentist hadn't done anything about it. 
I think the Pennsylvania person should have enough to spread around...
