Good luck charms

I'm trying to send some luck to my faraway soldier girl. She's taking her big tests today and Wednesday. If she passes those tests she'll be home next weekend. So send me your lucky charm ideas. I'm already praying up a storm and rubbing the rabbit's foot.

Fall Migration

There's one day in the spring that all the turtle eggs seem to hatch. Not too long ago, my kids and I would drive around trying to save as many as we could-I really don't understand why a turtle (or even a chicken) just has to cross the road, but they do. Those little half-dollars with legs trying to make it across two lanes of traffic-talk about high hopes. Anyway, our record for one day was 17 (maybe this is why some box turtles are endangered?). Coming back from the Ozarks, I didn't see cute little turtles, but the biggest spiders I have ever seen. After consulting with Hillybilly, he did verify that the spiders have their own migration day too. So sorry Charlotte, couldn't make myself stop for even one. Wilbur would be so disappointed in me.

Anniversary 100

Yes, this is my 100th blog. Kinda ironic that it also celebrates my single status of one month.
Check out Pink's latest song on the you tube. I think it might be my new favorite song-and yes her ex really is pictured in the video.

The email

You know those cutesy emails that people send out? Every once in a while, I read one that sticks in my head and gives me something to think about. I've forgotten who sent it or what the entire message was but my thought for the day:

When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

IMPORTANT Lesson learned

My friends do not EVER attempt to ride a mechanical bull after eating a funnel cake. It is not a good feeling.

Happy Birthday Ms.Songer

Happy Birthday Ms.Songer-may you always dance til the cows come home. (She's pictured in brown by her grandson in blue).

Time to get ready for Halloween

You should always start getting ready for Halloween with some good pumpkin decorations. I really would like to do something like this in my front yard.
