A beautiful day for a hike

My friend Skye and I had agreed earlier this week to go hiking so that Skye could work on a painting on Friday morning...of course, that was before we knew that it was supposed to be a rainy, dreary day. So, this morning, despite the threat of rain, Skye showed up on my doorstep ready to go, but minus painting supplies. So, I grabbed my backpack, which I had packed "just in case" and we headed to the hiking trails. The rain held off for our hike, but it was a dreary day and the trails were MUDDY! We hiked to a little white church in the middle of nowhere. Apparently the church still holds services, but it is very out of the way.

On our way to the church, Skye and I came across this:


We thought that it was pretty funny and so I thought that it warranted a picture.


A little while later, we made it to the church and found this sign:


So I just had to get Skye to pose for some incriminating photos...which was of course not hard to do.


We wandered around the church grounds and looked in the cemetery (Skye, for some reason LOVES cemeteries, and many of her stories start...one time when I was in a cemetery in Atlanta...don't ask me...it's Skye there really is no telling what is going on in that mind! There is never a dull moment with Skye around).

We slugged through the mud back to our car and then decided to go try out the new Peach milkshake at Chick-fil-a...however, we soon discovered that the Chick-fil-a parking lot was overflowing. So, we opted for Five Guys and Fries instead. We enjoyed our burgers and fries...and some good conversation.


Apparently, Skye, within the last week, decided that she was spending too much on rent and that it would be cheaper to rent a room in someones house. So, she did what any normal person would do. She marched herself over to the apartment complex office and signed the paper work to end her lease...only, she had no where lined up to live.

So, finding herself with no where to live in just over a week, she realized, she would have no where to put her current furniture. So, well, the next logical step would just be to sell all of it! So, she decided that she wanted to have a garage sale this weekend...only, then she remembered that she did not have a truck to transport her belongings to somewhere that she could sell them...hmmm...strike two

On top of soon being homeless, Skye has also decided to try her hardest to become penniless. She is planning a roadtrip out west this summer and was looking into renting a car. She let a friend borrow her computer to check her email while the page was still open to the car rental site...and surprise, the next thing that she knew, she had rented a car...meaning that she now had $1.30 in her checking account. LOL! Skye was telling me all of this laughing...The beginning of our day, she did find 30 cents in her car which got her up to $1.60...and then she found $12 which allowed us to go to lunch. The good news is that there are several people going with her on her roadtrip which will reimberse her for part of the car rental fee...bringing her checking account back into the positives...and who knows, maybe if she can get that garage sale together and sell all of her worldly posessions, then she will be practically rich...of course, she would still be homeless...just not peniless! Haha! She is such a mess! You just never know what the next scheme will be with her! She makes life interesting and she has a flare for living on the edge! :) You gotta love Skye!
