Down by the River

Posted by Mandy M. Roth on Jul 26, 2008 in Day in the Life |

The men in the house talked me into venturing outside. It was scary. I thought the light would make me burst into flames. :))

We ended up at a flea market (which I got the kewlest bookends evvvaaa… Egyptian goddess and tomb guards) and then we took the boys down to the river to hang for awhile. They’re boys, they dig that kind of stuff. I’d like it more if it had coffee and wi-fi.

Hubby with his sunglasses on his head. I like when he forgets where he put them and they’re there.

Boys tossing rocks into the river. The lil’ kid drenched the big kid with this move.

I just kind of liked the way this little outhouse thing looked so I snapped a pic of it.

I thought y’all played IN the river. Like. In swim suits. Without SHOES. You know?

I love flea markets, antique stores and junk sales. And ANYTHING to do with books. Including bookends. Not that I can use them since my book shelves are so full they wouldn’t fit.

Ooooh, new-old books are a good find. Love the river pics. We took a drive out to a state park today. Got there late and didn’t get to walk around, but it’s absolutely gorgeous and…so quiet! Well, the campground wasn’t, but I could have totally taken a little row boat out into the middle of the lake, sans cell phone and just wrote and wrote and wrote with nothing to bother me but mosquitos.

:ninja: wait…lemme rethink that.

:DD

We had my car (known here as Mandy’s Baby) and I would have made them all walk home if they dared to swim in the river. They’re still stunned I let them eat in my car. (I waited all my driving life to get an SUV with leather seats (off white) and all that good stuff. I considered not letting any of them ever sit in it.

While I was in high school, and living on that pig farm, I lived near this river. I actually used this location in Daughter of Darkness books.
