Rain - Rain - Go Away…later

Posted by Melinda | Filed under Uncategorized

Yup - it’s Saturday.  And of course…it was raining cats and dogs when I got up.  Now I had planned to do a little riding today after spending a little time at NHC and then come to get Taira (I say come…because I just happen to be at my mom’s right now).  But since it was raining - no riding. I’m not complaining really…we need the rain.  Don’t want there to be another hay shortage where we go broke trying to feed the horses through the winter this year due to hay price gouging.  So bring on the rain.

Oh - reeeeeeewwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddd…yesterday I got home and saddled up Good ol’ Six (the horse) and we headed out for a nice loop around local trails.  It was dark when we came in…but I had no worries.  Knew where I was going so it was all good.  But it was a nice peaceful ride just me, God and my hoss.  Gave me a chance to gather my thoughts (cuz right now they are all over the place).

Got home and got a couple of texts from some friends I haven’t seen in awhile that were headed to The Wooden Nickel in Hillsborough so decided to go join them.  Now if you’ve ever (or never) been to the Wooden Nickel - it’s this little hole in the wall pub/grill in the middle of downtown Hillsborough.  (Nowhere USA!)  They serve some of the best fried squash, garlic fries and burgers in town and of course your average selection of beer (not a beer fan) and “spirits”.  (No spirits for me last night…but I don’t need spirits to be happy if you know me they just about put me to sleep!)  But of all the places…for some reason half of Hillsborough was in the hole in the wall.  It was packed up in that piece with local frat boys.  It was warm, so we sat out at one of the sidewalk tables and watched Hillsborough go by while we caught up.

Back to your regularly scheduled program.  Got up this morning and attended a breakfast meeting at NHC.  If you missed it - don’t do it again.  Leah gave away CASTING CROWNS tickets for a door prize.  HOLLA!  Not to mention her breakfast casserole was DEEElicious along with the assortment of muffins, coffee, juice strawberries and grapes.  So next time Leah sends you an e-mail about a meeting…don’t take any chances on missing out….come. 

I stayed after and worked on one of the walls in the youth room.  It looks pretty awesome.   I made a mistake so like a tattoo artist, painted over the mistake.  Made a cross out of it….not sure I’m happy with it being the perfectionist I am…but the rest of the wall is pretty awesome if I do say so myself.  Of course most will say if I didn’t tell them they would’t know I didn’t mean for the cross to be there.  Gotta add onto it, but it’s still pretty awesome so come check it out. 

So here I am sittin’ at mom’s.  They are watchiing Firehouse Dog…been there seen that. So here I am on the PC. Gonna leave here in an hour to get home, let the dogs out and feed the critters and then Taira and I are gonna head over to a friend’s house we don’t see too often for dinner and just to hang out. 

Tomorrow - back to NHC.  Hope to see you there!
