Peach Run
Saturday we walked/ran in the Clanton Peach Run! I have never been a runner although I would love to be one. It all started a while back when my sister, Renee said she wanted to walk in the Mercedes Marathon next February. She said we could walk as long as we finished in 4 hours. So I said sure! I thought I have a long time to get ready. I walk regularly anyway.
Well about a month ago she calls and says they are having a run in Clanton (where she lives) and wanted me to do it with her. The lady said there was no time limit and we could walk, we didn't have to run. So like a fool, I said OK. Here we are before the run.
We didn't win, but still had a good time. The Race for the Cure is in October so we are going to get ready for that one. Johnny did win a door prize drawing! It is a flower pot with some homemade strawberry jam, a t-shirt and a peach cookbook. The winners in the different age groups won peaches.

My brother in law, Doug took the picture above. That's his finger in the bottom corner.
I was rethinking my decision Saturday morning when I had to get up at 4:20 a.m.!!! We left our house around 5:25. The race started at 7:00. It was a lot of fun! Johnny walked with us and so did a good friend, Bill. Bill lives in Clanton and goes to church with Renee and Doug. He grew up next door to us. Doug, James and Annamarye watched and cheered us on! They drove around and talked to us throughout the race. It was really funny! The lady in front of us really laughed when I told the kids to go get me a coke icee! There was a 5k and a 10k run. We did the 5k. After the race we all went to The Kountry Kitchen and had breakfast.

Nut Up
My Vacation Bible School t-shirt saved me from "nutting up" at the bank this morning. Generally speaking, I don't like banks and bank people. Sorry if I offend anyone out there. Last summer after my Dad passed away everyone at the bank was very nice and helpful! Those people I like. Others I don't.
My experience has been that they have an attitude. They never accept the fact that they make mistakes. Years ago the bank made a $1500 error on my checking account. When I called them about it, they gave me the run around because they never could make a mistake like that. Well, they had to eat their words, because it was their error. And then once a few years ago, they made an error and gave us $100. I went to the bank and had to convince them they made a mistake!! I was giving them back $100 and had to convince them of their mistake!!
Anyway, I tried to make a purchase online and they declined it and flagged it as fraud. (We have had problems with this before on vacation and now before going out of town I always go to the bank and let them know.) So I had to call and get it fixed and then re-order my purchase. Then this morning I am checking my accounts online and found that they returned a check by mistake. Luckily I had written the check from one of my accounts to another and nothing else was effected. But still it was their mistake and just really irritating that I had to go down there and deal with it. As I was walking in to the bank I realized I had on my VBS t-shirt! In our Sunday School class our teacher talks about "nutting up" in public and how it looks as a Christian. So I kept my anger in check and supposedly got it fixed. They are suppose to refund the return check charges too. I'll be watching it!
