Ahhhh, hammock napping...

It has been years since I had a hammock, and the thought of laying on the patio with a glass of wine and my Kindle has been on my bucket list for a while.

Last winter, Mr. K bought me a hammock so I could do just that.

It sat in the box in the garage all winter...and finally, last weekend I asked him to bring it upstairs so we could assemble it...

Life always seems to get in the way here.  Mr. K was out of town all last week and finally, yesterday, Tony offered to assemble it...

It didn't seem all that hard, but was it safe?

We let Noelle try it first...

Seemed like it was working...but wait!  It said it could hold up to 350 pounds...

We though we'd try it...

Hmmmm...Not even close, lol!

Well, since it will hold them, it must be strong enough for the really important stuff...

It worked!

If you want me, I'll be out on the patio...

National Read in the Bath Tub Day!

Yes!  It's tomorrow...

 

The day to celebrate what we do all year...

 

It's National Read in the Bath Tub Day!

 

 

I'm ready, are you?

 

I didn't celebrate last year, I was too busy taking care of Ron...

 

But this year?

 

Wow!

 

If you remember, in 2013, my day wasn't exactly stellar.

a baggie or two...

 

 

 and some rice...

 

 

 

my replacement Kindle...

 

 

bubbles...

 

 

and a promise from Mr. K not to disturb me.

 

 

 

Let the fun begin!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

National Read Where?

It's National Read in the Bathtub Day! 

 Reading in the tub is one of my favorite things to do.  

I'd spend the entire day reading in the tub if I could. 

I could see that this could easily become one of my very favorite holidays!!!!

I thought of how I might decorate...alas, there is no room in my bathroom for a tree...

So I thought I'd just practice...

So I got a cup of tea in my favorite mug...

Ran a tub of hot, steamy bubbles with my favorite bubbly...

And since I am a modern, high tech kinda gal, I gathered several of my favorite book(s)...

Sure it's a Kindle,  I love that thing!

Oh, and I had to be sure that my phone was ready and able...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...

I leaned back, turned on the Kindle, 

sipped my tea and began to read...

Then...

the cat comes in to walk on the edge of the tub...

the phone rings...

I answer (it's a lady from church)...

Now the next few minutes are too ugly for you to see, so we will skip ahead to where...

I threw on my robe...ran down the stairs...and got the rice...

Yes!  Rice!

No, I didn't suddenly get hungry for Chinese!

While doing my research, I saw that several people were posting photos of their Kindles looking like this...

I thought that was silly...

But now, my Kindle is encased in a baggie too.  Look:

We're still drying out, still crossing  our fingers...

~heavy sigh~

So if you need me today, I'll be easy to find. I'll be in the tub, celebrating Read in the Bathtub Day the old fashioned way:

One page at a time!

Love ya,
