I promised my niece that I would take her to a Pow Wow over the weekend, the same one that I took her to last year. It’s a 2 hour drive over several mountains, but worth the time and effort. We left early this year in order to get there nice and early, to get good seats. Took a cooler full of cold drinks, a soft blanket and a tent for shade. We learned our lesson last year and wanted to come prepared this year.
It was a blast, but the temperature was in the high 90′s and we really were very miserable, along with the other several hundred people that attended. It didn’t end until 6:00pm but by 2:30 most people had left due to the heat and we headed out early as well. This heat wave has been horrible. I mean it is only June for heaven’s sake, not mid August!
Next year if the weather isn’t decent we won’t be attending. I’ll be looking for a Pow Wow that is held inside where we will be nice and comfortable in a controlled environment.

With the weather getting better and better with each passing day, I find myself anxious to spend more and more time outside lately. I had promised that I would start going for more walks when the weather broke so it looks like I’ve got some walking to do. I do want to go online and find a good pair of Shoes that would be good to walk in. I’m sure that I could find a good deal if I just took a little bit of time and did some searching some evening on my handy dandy laptop.
I have a pair of Sneakers that are still in good shape, but I’m not sure if I would be doing any justice to my feet, legs, back, etc buy wearing them that much. I might as well look for a good pair of Running Shoes while I’m at it. I don’t intend to keep walking for very long. I really want to start running again, but I have to start some where.
Buying shoe online doesn’t have to be a hassle. I found a great buying guide and plenty of tips for shoes online that I found to help set my mind at ease about ordering footwear via the Internet. I’m pretty good at finding good deals with reputable companies online. I’ll keep you posted………

It is very disturbing to keep hearing the reports of all the extreme weather conditions that just seem to keep happening over and over. This morning the news is that a 4.4 earthquake has hit right outside of Los Angeles, California. Will this madness ever end? Who ever pissed off Mother Nature really needs to make an apology and soon.

Think I’m coming down with a cold. My mother says it is a “Spring cold” I just know that I’m coughing, my nose is running and I feel like hell. What a way to start the week end. At least it is going to be a rainy weekend so that makes me feel better. I won’t be missing much.

On the 25th we were expecting more snow, thank the good lord that we didn’t even see one single snow flake. But now the weatherman is indicating that tomorrow evening we will be slammed with another snow storm. You never know until it happens and I’m not too concerned with it all at this point.
