LOL!

     Yesterday we were invited to go to a puppet show with some of our friends :)
     The show rocked! I was totally impressed, and all the kids and their reactions were hysterical!!
     I really loved how there was some adult humor, which truly if you looked around the crowded room, I think the grown-ups had just as much fun!
     One of my favorite lines said by the sheep about the big bad wolves, "They were scared sheepless!" LOL
     My favorite puppet...this is a tough one. I would have to say the mouse. I just loved his attitude!
     I forgot my camera, dang it! I won't next time!!

Father's Day

      I am a Daddy's girl, AND PROUD OF IT!!
      I only wish my Daddy lived a little closer!! We had a great coversation today, though :)
      I know we will see him soon enough, if not this summer then definitely in November!
      I am also proud of the father who Ricky is :) He makes me want to be the best mom ever!
      One of his many Father's Day gifts were purchased this year at Sue's Antiques and Treasures on Elmway.
      Let me tell you...THAT PLACE IS AMAZING! It's far bigger than I ever expected! I love antiques, especially old farm stuff.
      I saw so many things that remind me of my Grandpa Stinson. I miss him so much.
      Well, this bowl was especially chosen because Ricky LOVES vanilla ice cream, so now he has his own special bowl. And, ya know...they don't make bowls like they used to!! I wish they had an entire set :)

Dad's Ice Cream...just in case someone else might eat it!

WHAT a fun, fun dAy :)

3 AMIGOS


Today for Father's Day we headed out to go for a long horseride! This was so much fun!!! We went up to Buck Mountain, and we rode up to the lookout! The weather was amazing! We were in our own little world!

We saw turkeys, a coyote, a bear cub, deer (and a baby Bambi!!!), Blue Grouse, and even a frog! LOL

I ended up riding Jack today :) He's such a beautiful horse!!!


Ricky on Jake


We live in some of THE most beautiful country. I always tell Rick when we ride on Sundays, that I am at church.





I just loved this rock ahead of us...next pic is the view once you rode up to the rock!

Random Ramblings

     Another reason why I love summer? I get to make my man his lunch every day. I am so proud of how hard he works, and I just love that I can be a little sunshine in his day :)
     I try to make some creative lunch, sometimes using leftovers, but I like to surprise him!
     Today I made a sandwich my daddy used to make when I was little...hotdog sandwich!
     I cut the hot dogs in half lengthwise, and then grilled them and put them on the bread.

     So, completely switching channels...I live on a small farm as most of you already know. How do I know that I live on a small farm? Is it the plethora of animals? The poop that is everywhere? NOPE...today I was reminded in an entirely different way.
     I went to move the load of wash into the dryer, and I noticed something awry. SIGH.
     It seems that a couple of cubes of alfalfa were washed. Trust me when I say this makes a mess! LOL
     And, to add insult to injury...guess who left them in her pocket??? LOL! That's right, me!
     Yes, I check EVERYONE'S pockets all the time...not sure how I missed mine. Oh well, made me chuckle!

     Speaking of laughing, last night Rick and I watched a show we had on DVR - It was a Man vs. Wild episode, but with Will Ferrell along for the experience. OH MY GAWSH, did we laugh ourselves silly last night!!!
     I love the show anyhow, and I like Will, so it was a perfect match.

     Well, I have lots more to blog, but I am going to go exercise :) The recumbent bike is calling my name! LOL

Hey scrappers and craft-a-holics!

     I just stumbled upon a blog I really like, and I wanted to share it with all of my crafty mamas out there!!!
     We made some super cute Father's Day stuff last week, and then I have been making a few things this week, too :)
     It's almost here, 2 days and counting!!

Love cubed

      That's right, I love, love, love going out to ride each night!!! It's great exercise, but even more, it's just so relaxing and peaceful.
      People who know me well know that I have this obsession of taking pics of shadows. I got a FUN one tonight :)

Cool story.

Check out this story!


Pretty amazing. It has the possibility to touch our lives because Cody could end up on this ship when he goes on his second deployment late next year.
