Well, I had hoped to have a big name announcement for the boat but I defer final decision to hubby since getting of said boat was really all his doing. We definitely had a blast reading everyones name suggestions and the name suggestion formulas! I guess we really haven't named anything too big since Silas was born!
Unnamed though she may be, she proved herself a good vessel on our maiden "swift moving" river this weekend on a little float that we did. The boys and even our old puppy enjoyed the float. I particularlly enjoyed the friends we were with, and the little slice of small town life as we drove through these little towns on the way down.
I could not resist stopping by this little spot on our way back. Can you really expect me not to stop by an antique place with a big red barn with a sign that says "old books" I have never seen so many piles of books interspersed among antiques. I kid you not there were 7 buildings chopped full. The four of us had a field day. We walked away with no coveted prizes, but lots of eye candy in our heads! Jasper loved the military hats, Silas the canes, myself some cool old hinges, and Jody a neat old Tote Cycle from the 60's! I dare say we are creating pickers in the making!
Speaking of books I wanted to do ahead and draw a winner for the book Bears Water Picnic. The winner is Robin- congrats Robin! If you could e-mail me your snail mail addy I will mail this to you.
Thanks again everyone for your wonderful suggestions. I plan on still pressing hubby for a final call on the name! Happy Monday and happy August!
