Wonderful Day

Our day out was very satisfying. We got to Cook's Museum 15 min. early and it wasn't open so we went to the big warehouse store that is near there. I found a rain gauge that we needed. After that, Cook's was open. As we walked through the museum, Karen told me her stories of encountering the many animals that live in her woods. A fox is eating their chickens and guinnes(the computer didn't know how to spell that word either...) She even saw a hawk attacking a chicken on her back porch and when she ran out to see what the matter was, the hawk took off right in front of her! She's in the process of teaching her little pups(can't spell that name either, sort of like shitzoo) manners. She has two of them (or rather Ken has two) and they need to learn to walk on a leash and heel and other commands too. Stacey is in her first week of going to Calhoun and will probably like it.

After we went to Decatur, I had to stop be Herbs and More and get Dad some magnesium for leg cramps. Karen didn't know we had a store like that. Next,we walked down to the Tuesday store and looked at everything. She thinks the museum is nice and maybe a place to take her parents when they visit. Next week, weather permitting, we will either take the walking tour around Athens or go up to Ardmore to the Alabama Welcome Center and see the sites there.
