Got the picture downloaded but forgot to post. Duh, having a terrible day. My mom called and told me that her neighbor's son was killed in Irag. Don't know the details other than it could take 7 to 10 days for his body to get back here. It is so sad, for this little one horse town has done lost 3 young guys over there within 2 years.It scarys me for JB will be leaving July 17. I'm honored that he is going to defend our country but enough is enough. Remember the ole saying, " either shit or get off the pot." well, that is the way I feel about this war.
I had a wedding this past weekend that I had to do. It was outside and was very beautiful. Saturday night after the wedding, DH and I went to the dirt drag strip. YUP, you heard me right. It's where 4 wheel drive trucks race on a dirt drag strip. We got home about 1a.m. Then Sunday , got up and went to church. Everyone went over to Mother's that afternoon for a cookout. Went to work yesterday, after work, we worked in the yard. I decided to make some bread for a lady that gave me a bag full of fabric. So, I was up till 11:30 waiting on the bread to get done. This afternoon we are going to get the pool up and going.

I have been trying to put the picture of JB riding bulls on my blog and I can not get the photo downloaded. Help!!!!! Like I've told you all before this is the high tech redneck here in blog land. Don't exactly know about this new computer. I feel like singing that ole song, " why oh why did you have to leave me,". I was very happy with my old one. This new one really makes me forget my relgion. I have said some very nasty words using this thing.
when I start trying to download the picture , it is just like the damn thing freezes up.

Today has started off pretty d@#$ bad way. Over slept for one, was late feeding the critters. Flossie Mae was cutting up waiting on her bottle, Dass and D.J., the barrel horses, was stomping in their stalls waiting, and I was still trying to have that first cup of coffee when I headed to the barn. Then my cuz called and was going out of town to pick up parts for her husband , so I rode with her so she wouldn't go by herself. Made it fine going, but coming back, ha, that was a totally different story. We was 100 miles from home, and ran into not one but two bad storms. When we got about 40 miles from home, we ran into a horrible storm. It was hailing , wind blowing, rain was coming down so hard we couldn't see where we was at. Then the sky looked very funny. We looked out the window to our left and lord, there was clouds in rotation. I yelled for Audra to just go. I was scared out of my pants. Now remember, I have done rode one tornado in 2001 and didn't care about riding another. Audra was pretty shaken up too. We made it back home and seeing all those mad, hungry critters made me smile. We are having heavy rain right now with some thunder, which is going to make feeding time pretty interesting. Oh well, guess it's time to pull out those ugly rubber boots. They are green and looks like big frogs on them. They are my daughter's but I took them over for she isn't here long enough to do the dirty work. She thinks all she has to do is show and that is that. So, I get stuck, mucking out stalls, cleaning the tack room and all the tack, doing all the riding, or breaking the goats to lead, clipping the animals for showing, and she gets to look like a queen. Not complaining, for its my fault , I have made her that way for she is the baby. So, I guess it's off to the barn, and to see how much mud I can get on me. Thank God, I'm a Country Girl.

I am off this week. Don't know if that is good or bad. I have been real busy with the rodeos and NBHA. My lil nanny had 2 babies , and they are doing great. Shelby is the loveable one while Wheezer is the drama queen. I also have a calf, that I'm bottle feeding, her name is Flossie Mae. She is just adorable, until she butts you wanting her bottle.
I will be able to stay at home this weekend, last weekend, I was at Pontotoc, then left after that race and went to Bolivar, TN to a rodeo. Jon Brandon drew a bad bull , he only lasted for about 3 seconds. Was glad when his ride was over with. Next weekend, we both are going to Athens, AL. It seems that we are always rushing around and when the weekend is up, we need a couple of days to regroup.
I had surgery the other week on my ear. I had some skin cancer but the doctor told me that he got everything. I have about 2cm missing off my ear. Was afraid that there was going to be more than that. DH says it looks like I was shot with a 22. You can better believe that I will be wearing a huge hat from now on. I was really shook up for a while. It wasn't that it was skin cancer but I didn't know how much of my ear I was going to lose.
David, my 18 yr old, got kicked in the head by a cow, and now he is doing fine. Was really worried about him for awhile. His eyes was closed shut for a couple of days. Then JB busted his chin when he went face down on the bull. I think I said some BAD words on the tape. It has been like a 3 ring circus around here.

I still haven't got my computer fixed. I'm at Mother's on her pc. I have been so busy that I haven't really had time to get it fixed. I have had a rodeo or NBHA show nearly every weekend. I have been doing good or rather Dass has. We have had some real good times. We have been running up there with the big dogs. Jon Brandon has been doing good with his bull riding. We both rode at Pontotoc, He ended up with a busted chin where he kissed the bull head . I ran a 14.8 and even got some extra points for I ran over a girl when I came out the gate. She was standing there in the middle of the alleyway talking on her cell phone , everyone was yelling for her to move and she just keep standing there. Sooo... I ran over her . She rolled twice in the gravel then she wanted to jump on me for it. Like I can stop a horse running 30mph on a dime. I imagine that left a couple of marks on her.
I'm trying to get the picture of JB downloaded on the site for you all to see. Guess what??!!! He has meet a girl and feel in love. She is a really nice and pretty red-headed thing. She has a good job and seems like she is just what he needs.
I ran last saturday, I ended up with 3rd in the 2d times. So, that made me happy for we have moved up a class and won some money. YIPPEE!!!!
I have missed talking with the girls on the Mary Jane site and have really missed talking with Tracey. It's going to take me forever just to get caught up on her site.
Gotta go and get home and feed the critters.
