Too Hot,, too big,, too many people, I have not been there since I was last forced to work at it, which was 1984...

I am going this year for the cattle shows and I can't wait!

Because I can't give ovations any more I will tell you this is exactly what DH and I say.  LOL.  Too funny.
Oh Boy. 
Minnie...I hope you're training that boy "right". 

I did an experiment one time.  It was right after Easter and I had picked up the 29th foil wrapper for chocolate eggs off the living room carpet.  I was bending over to pick up the 30th when I said to myself, "Nah...."  I left my house to my husband and 9 or 10 year old twins (however old they were--old enough to lift their butts and walk to the garbage can)  for 1 week.  I didn't pick up candy wrappers or little green Easter basket plastic grasses.  I didn't sweep.  I didn't do the dishes.  I didn't vacuum.  The place turned into a a sess-pool.  My husband walked in the door and looked around sort of in a mystified way at about day 5 or 6 and says, "Ummmm.  Should I ask you if you'll iron a shirt for me for tomorrow?" 
Then we all had a talking.
Sad thing is I think I'm back to square one.

Ah, yes, the come to Jesus talk. Been there. When DH and I first got married, we took turns making supper, every other night. Then me 2, him 1, then me 3, him 1 and so on until I was making super every night. Well, I explained this to him, and I couldn't understand what was going on. He said. ... "Well, I have things to do..." You can imagine what happened next, I'm sure. Back to making super every other night

Theblanchranch.. Redneck is not like you are thinking of it, I don't think,.

It is more of an anti-city, anti-deed restrictions, free living attitude.. Those of us out here get a lot of looks coming down the nose of metropolinites ( I heard them called Citidiots) on another thread. Your own admission of living in Hades kind of takes you out of that group.

For me, I have been there, I had the fancy house in the subdivision, I have the fancy house on the ocean (for sale) in Florida. BUT I am happier now back here where I grew up, and loving it. proving you can take the boy out of the country, but can't take the country out of the boy..


BTW I am a HUGE country music person.

I love the free-living attitude stuff and you are right. That is not what I think of when I think redneck. I think very highly of the way you live. A matter of fact I really wish I could as well.
I don't live in the rich area where people look down their noses at you. I can only think of very few places like that and those are in more snooty establishments and their surrounding areas.

Quote: They have misters all over on the hot days. But you are right. It is a lot to deal with.


But Ralphy. Garrison Keillor is the man that welcomes you to Lake Wobegon. Where all the women are strong all the men good-looking and all the children are above average. How up north can you get? Very much not yuppie.
I know I will never convince you. Even if he is on NPR and not PBS. ;-)

One thing though; you would most likely love the Steep Canyon Rangers.

I do it almost every day. You get use to it.

So food seems to be a thing today.
I made cajun chicken over a pasta prima topped with feta. Greek, Italian and an NOLA mix. Turned ok pretty good. I will tweak it next time.

I have never been to the state fair. Someday I hope to go. Won't be this year though, unfortunately.

Wait... What?

 

[The BlanchRanch]

I will take lots of pictures for you Rhetts. When you do go let me know!!

[Cluckies]

I've not run out of ovations today, and i've given plenty, probably 10 or better. But I've run out on other days when I've only given maybe 3 or 4? maybe it is a random thing...


I'm getting pretty upset. We are trying to work on my run, but it is either too dang hot (this weekend), or raining when i'm at home, but of course, it is absolutely lovely when I'm at work, or otherwise tied up.

That's all I got to say about that.
