The rest did wonders for me. Hubby and I took theLower Green in the two-man inflatable ducky. The water was running at 100% according to the dam that feeds it, which means that one sluice was open. Last time we ran it, there were two sluices open, and the river was running at 200%.  The wording and the percentages seem wrong, but then I am not an engineer. To me, 100% would mean that all sluies are open. Anyway, the run was much less challenging this time and I liked it better. Next time I run it? It won't be challenging enough! I'll be ready for the 200%, which means I'll need to go up after a hard rain.

After the full Lower run, we still had plenty of time until the dam shut off, so hubby and I ran the last mile, or mile and a half, in our hard boats -- kayaks. I *loved* it! It was so freaking much fun! Not that there are anything but Class II rapids on the Lower Green, but it was just challenging enough for this noob.  And I am ready to do it again!

We had a wonderful time!

On the way home we stopped at an outlet and I bought two new rugs, black and brown, in the same style as the black and brown and burgundy rug in the dining room. Now, the living room and the foyer look so fresh and new! I love it!

So -- today I wrote 11 pages (so far) and am ready to put this baby to bed!

Later, Ya'll!

Was it the outlet in Gaffney? I've been intending to go there to buy a rug for my great room, but I didn't know if there was somewhere better. :D

Despite knowing that it's a sort of boat, I can't help a smile at the name "ducky". It's one of those freakishly adorable words - ducky, ducky, ducky!

Ducky is a fun word! And the yellow/orange inflatable open kayak kinda looks like it might quack!

Misty! Are breaking my childish innocence by insinuating that the inflatable watercraft does not have a ducky head at the front?! ;-)

Have a lovely day! :-)

No photos this go-round, but next time, maybe.
I think we needed to be a little more used to the river before we take pics!
