Turning over a new....

Blogging leaf......

I am trying to take a lesson from my blogging Niece Jessica! She does such a great job and I really want to publish my blog like I did the first four years I blogged. I decided that instead of putting alot of pressure on myself to blog everyday I would try and follow Jessica's lead, starting tomorrow, and blog once a week, with kind of highlight of the week. Unless something earth shaking happens.

I guess I didn't realize people actually read my blog until a friend of mine, who I had no idea even knew my blog existed said she missed reading up on our lives through my blog. What a shocker that was :) Who would have imagined that my life would be so interesting.

Today was a rare quite Sunday Funday at our house. I must say that I needed a day to sit in peace and quite with Ron and Cheerio. Ron of course, filled my entire dining room table with papers, envelopes, computers and sticky notes in just one short hour. I decided to ignore it and make myself a nice little nest on the couch with Cheerio and settle in to watch our Favorite NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer race at New Hampshire. Clint's won here before so I always enjoy watch the NH Race at Loudon. However, Clint struggled with a wacky handling car and a flat tire....all I have to say is after listening to his in car radio on my phone I had to put it on mute :) Here is Cheerio and I hanging out watchin some racin!

We love watching our Favorite Driver race.....GO CLINT BOWYER!

I nested myself so well that I fell sound asleep during the race. I woke up with about 100 laps to go. Clint was struggling. It was painful to listen to and watch he was just stuck. I am not sure what the heck happened during the final Green-white-Checkered finish but that man somehow vaulted him self from 21st to 13th place. Thank gosh because a 21 place finish was NOT what we needed at all. 

But on another note! Our Michael Waltrip Racing teammate Brian Vickers driving the #55 won the race. That team has been so close all year to winning. I was happy that Brian won, he's had alot of diversity the last few years and deserved this win. Way to go Brian! Now it's time for the #15 car to get into Victory lane!!!!

Totally Cool Brian! Loved how he was high fiving the fans as he went by!! That was so darn cool! 

Loved how the whole crew ran out onto the race track! I love it when the underdogs win!!!

Had some surprise vistors, Tom and Sue Korus. What a nice visit we had, we were then joined by friends Joe and Sharlene and Darrell and Carol to celebrate Sharlene's birthday. We packed up and headed into Duncan for Supper and the new Uncle Shaky's. Everyone seemed happy and full. 

Returned back home to try and get the jump on laundry and packing! Headed to the second of three Big Iron meetings this month. Off to Rock Island, Illinois for week two! Then on to Pulaski Wisconsin for some Polish fun!!!!!

Silly Cheerio

When I am away from Cheerio for a few days, as I have been while in GI at our convention. I always enjoy working at home and spending the day with him. He is such a clown.

Looking so serious boy. Man it's almost like...you leave me again and........

 And there is the issue with the Sun from our Sunlights. He follows the light around the cabin as it changes during the day. Here he is warming himself in the sunlight, in just a few short minutes it moved and he moved with it. Silly Goose!!!

I can't believe I have never taken pictures of him doing this, but today I finally did. Cheerio gets a Treat after he does his outdoor "business".

I sat as I was told to do....

Now I am starting to beg...with my tongue out! I am salivating....

Please Mommy....I want my Treat....it almost looks like he is praying :)

Please Please Please give me my treat! 

Anyone who reads this who has actually seen him do this would agree it's pretty darn cute. His little paws going 100 miles an hour. 

Bad Bad blogger.......

I am not sure how I got so far behind on my blog but I did....now it appears I am going to have to go back and do some serious updating :)

Spent the day at the final sessions of our Big Iron National Meeting in Grand Island, Nebraska. I actually went and ran some errands while Ron finished up and then helped Ray tear down and pack up the displays to come home. We had had Ron's sister's son Grant staying with us and working for us for a couple of weeks here and there. Naturally, Ron and Grant were determined to go for a Razr ride. For those of you who are wondering why anyone would ride on a Razor....it is an ATV not the one you use on your face. :) My job while they toured around was to make my Chicken wings in my secret sauce......just like Duke and his Bush's Baked Beans....I have a secret sauce........

However, I will not make them again in our Pizza Oven. Ron thought that would be a fantastic Idea.....NOT SO MUCH! It was a total mess in my oven. Took me hours to clean it. Not too happy about that. Would have been much easier on my Green Mountain, but hey they did turn out pretty good. I could live on Chicken Wings. Seriously everyday at least for one meal. Considering Ron and I ate at Buffalo Wild Wings in Grand Island on Monday Night you would think I would get tired of them, for some reason I don't.

So now, it's off to bed after packing a lunch for Grant. Been a long but good three days, kind of ready for the weekend......
