Scratch n' Win ticket WINNER.........$50,000 BIG ONES!!!

one problem.............it's not mine!!! LOL!!!

Although it's NOT MINE...........I'm VERY happy for the WINNER!!!

Won't name names on here........but I will give you a clue..........it's one of my 1st cousins on my Mom's side, and it's a female!!!

Talked to her tonight........it's exciting for me to just talk to someone that's won, I can't imagine how excited I would be if I ACTUALLY won????

WTG Evan.........CONGRATS on your BUCK!


Wow, Evan got his buck after much waiting, patience, and walking the bush!
Yesterday it all paid off.........he got the big one!!!!

I know little(or nothing)about RACKS, but they say this one good enough to mount........RIGHT ON!!! I am also thrilled at the fact that he called me to let me know........thanks Evan, it's was nice of you to share your excitement with your ole Auntie!!! Good luck, as you move on from deer to moose hunting..........I know the clock is ticking, and hunting season is coming to an end way to fast for you, I hope you get another BIG ONE!

How true is this?

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

So behind on my blogging....it's crazy!

a few things that come to mind........
Gido's move to the Bonnylodge, I have a picture of him waiting for his meal.......LOVE IT!!!
Gido lost his liscense
Gido fell
Gido's jackpot......IN HIS WALLET!
Baba, happy Gido's next door!


Halloween........my stinkin' cute trick or treaters!

Sweet people.......Andrew's on my list!!!!

President elect Barak Obama......CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Rutherford has arrived! WTG Daylan

thinking about my SIL..........wish there was something I/we could do......beyond wondering & worrying!!!

What does Daylan do for a break from studying?


note the snowboard in the background.....he has it ready & waiting to hit the hills!!!!

words the come to mind today

sacrifice-forces-remember-poppies-war-peace-freedom-death-respect-bravery-heros-11:00 a.m. minute of silence.....the list is endless!!!





Pavarotti - Ave Maria - Schubert

Yes I'm weird! I don't know what it is about this song....but I just love it!!!!

Whenever I have a heavy heart this song calms me, makes me feel more in contral, maybe because it sounds so powerful???

I'm not into Classical music, have now clue what the song is about, and don't understand one word of it...for whatever reason, I could just listen to it over and over and over again!!!

Down right MISERABLE day!!!

I knew this day was coming for a LONG time, I have rehearsed it in my mind over and over, and over again!!! Unfortunately, it played out exactly how I thought it would............NOT GOOD!!!!

I should really name this post down right miserable conversation, not miserable day! It's about a conversation that I knew was in the works......one I was dreading, but knew it had to take place sooner or later! Later didn't make it any better, probably worse.......more anger, more hurt feelings, from both sides!!!

To my readers:
Most family(and 1 friend Peggy)......will know immediately what I am talking about(or should have a pretty good guess......if not........don't sweat it)!
To my other readers.........glad you are still popping in for a visit......please don't worry about this craziness........come back soon........hopefully for a MUCH lighter topic!!!!

A Sunday Chuckle

Thanks Kathy.....funny.........all of them!!!
