Chiggers and Other Critters

Arkansas is a beautiful place, however, they have some awful critters here! The first week we were here we were eaten alive by numerous chiggers! Man, that'll sure make you buy stock in Off! Also, our travels on the back roads have enabled us to see man other critters you don't see around the San Antonio area. We have seen MANY armadillos (both alive and dead) on the roads. We have also seen lots of skunks and lizards and the occasional frog...one imparticular who died a horrendous death when he accidentally jumped in from of Big Daddy's truck the other night..."hop...hop...hop...splat!" We all felt so bad!

The neatest thing seen was viewed by Big Daddy while on a customer delivery on Saturday. He saw a black bear some dogs had treed. He couldn't believe it. Big Daddy and an employee saw the bear, stopped to watch it and alerted the homeowner. The home owner admitted he'd seen tracks in the past but didn't know there were still bears around here! Isn't that cool!?!?

Well, I'm still searching for a job. Although, I have *lots* to keep up with and finish up at the house. Pray the right job comes along! Also, it looks like our trip to Playa will not happen this year. We cannot find our passports from the move and we probably need to use the money for the trip fixing up the house.

On a different note, weight loss is still going well. Not quite as fast as before, but good, nonetheless! I don't have any dresses that fit right now so I'm trying to make due with one skirt and about 4 different blouses.

Also, in case you didn't know, we still don't have email. Hopefully it will happen one day. I'm getting tired of going somewhere and waiting on the community computer for email and blogging. Ok, that's enough bellyaching for one day...gotta go pick up some kids that had a blast at Magic Springs (think 6 Flags)today! Y'all take care!
