A canoe livery is a place where people rent canoes, rafts, kayaks...the livery staff then drops them off downriver, they float, then get picked up miles later at a take out. I'm a big fan of floating rivers and have big plans to own my own livery someday...the best ever.

Not frowny at all....just concentrating. I guess it sends the wrong impression, I'm a pretty happy chick. Maybe I should change it.

You know, I actually haven't planned that far ahead, but as far as I'm concerned, the higher profile, the better. ;) Any suggestions for me? When it happens, I'll be famous on YouTube. :P

11 things I want to STOP DOING BEFORE I DIE.
