New Bed

....did you know that you can sleep better in a big bed? She has taken over the guest room as hers and that also means sleeping in the "big, white, bed." Hey, you do what ya gotta do to get them to go to sleep! :-)

More fair fun.....

Climbing the rails while we wait to go mutton bustin'!

Filling our pockets with dirt. Now that is truly a lot of fun!!! Next is the parade!! More pictures to follow after that!!!

Rained....finally

We are still in a drought, but we FINALLY have been getting some much needed rain. So, of course we had to let her go stomp around in the puddles!!!

Best Dressed Western

Last weekend marked the beginning of our county fair. We entered the "Best Dressed Western" contest and won 3rd place for our age. She was pretty darn excited....more for the trophy than anything else!

Twitter

Are you a twit, I mean twitterer?

Don't know much about it. Am interested, but is it something that will require lots of time??? I don't go to FB a lot b/c of that exact reason. You see how well I've kept up with my blog lately. Any advice would be welcome.

duh.....

It is Fair time in our neck of the woods, and we organize a Washer Tournament. I went to FedEx/Kinkos to make some posters.

"Hi, can we help you?", asked the sales person.

"Yes, do you have a poster maker?", I asked.

"What are you looking to make?", he asked.

"A poster."

Duh, isn't that what a poster maker is for?

Rules

Do you follow them?
I'm not talking the speed limit, but I guess that would count....speed limit would negate all that I'm about to discuss!! :-)

Let me preface this with, I am an observer of people and I find some of the following "incidents" interesting.

It is interesting to watch how some people at my place of employment, follow the rules and some don't. Some are minor infractions, and only once in awhile.....others are ALL the time.

Are you a late person or an on time person? We have some folks that roll in late (more than 5 or 10 min.) on a daily basis.

We have a dress code, as most companies do....and jeans are only allowed on Fridays. I see jeans ALL the time and I even see SHORTS! (and not from the coaching staff!!!)

We have set work hours (from X time to Y time)....and I see people leave DAILY before the buses are even gone (which is about 30 min early)! I know things come up and life gets in the way and you have to re-adjust your schedule...but EVERY day?

The reason I ponder this is b/c I just KNOW that if I wore jeans on a day other than Friday, I'd get called in about it. If I was late, called in on it. Left early, called in on it. I'd just like to know what is going on in some people's minds that they don't have issue with any of this.

That's all for now! Have an outstanding FRIDAY!!!!
