Ok so this happened while the cowboy was still here..but one of my friends said I should share this and well its pretty funny so why not?
We like to have parties and rarely does a party we throw end before night sets in.Now due to the fact this is a cattle ranch we don't have pretty street lights..heck we don't even have streets.Just a field....who could get lost in an OPEN FIELD?
Well let me tell you...I happen to have a friend that can get lost in an open field...and its not like she got lost once..several times she has gotten lost..so its my duty to never let her forget it,lol
So one night we are all sitting around a fire,when Marcelle said she had to leave.So she hops in the car and takes off.Then She puts on her TURN SIGNAL..we bust out laughing I mean where is she going..its an open field...who is she signaling too?Then she starts to back up..then she puts on her signal again and turns towards the swamp..Then she puts on the signal again and drives across the field towards the lake..At this point I'm like rolling on the ground laughing...ITS A STRAIGHT SHOT FROM WHERE EVERYONE PARKS TO THE GATE....you just gotta drive across an OPEN FIELD.
I grab my cell phone and call Marcelle...this is the conversaion
Me...hey Marcelle whats up?
Marcelle..I think I'm lost?
Me...well where are you going?
Marcelle..the gate
Me..well you are gonna drive into the lake
Marcelle..are you sure?
Me..yes(followed by me giggleing like a school girl and everyone at the campfire busting out laughing)
Marcelle..well where is the gate
Me..same place its always at..we didn't move it
Marcelle..you sure
Me..yes..its not that easy
Me..oh and why are you useing turn signals
Marcelle..I think for the cows
LMAO...I love Marcelle
Follow me on my wonderful adventure of finding my inner cowgirl.And who knows maybe when this adventure is over I will be able to proudly call myself a cowgirl.

Egg hunt 2010...Ride in the back with the kids....
Ok so I'm just trying to play catch up with what has happened so far while the COWBOY was away.
So every year the cowboy and I have a great Egg hunt for the kids.We love it and look forward to it every single year.However there is alot of work involved with this.My friends and I fill all the plastic eggs with goodies for the kids(and drink while we do this..no reason to add that other then I really like to drink while we fill the eggs,lol)
And the Cowboy worked on getting the ranch ready..I never knew just how much work he did..till he wasn't here to do it.Normaly our feild is "clear"of cow patties..This year however when it came time to hide the eggs...my friends and I just looked apon the poo filled field..and then and there the cowboy was greatly missed.However we still hid those eggs..and thankfully the kids didn't have such a crappy time,lol
Then there was the BONFIRE we always have a fire..you just can't roast peeps without a fire.Thankfully I still had a dried out Christmas tree laying around..and WOW did that baby burn.So fire done..woohoo
Thats when I saw the greatest thing in the world...my friend Linda's husband was shoveling POOP..so the fire ring area was clear of the poop...I bet he really missed the COWBOY,lol
Now the cowboy would do hayrides for the kids...me I rigged a scaled down ride,I used the trailwagon and a small trailor.Worked just fine...However the Cowboy tends to really plan well..me on the other hand..I'm a fly by the seat of my pants girl..no real thought at all...I take the NIKE slogan JUST DO IT to heart.And doing so..I didn't think out the rides course..we just DID IT.
About halfway thru the ride we ended up in a flooded area.Holy moly water coming inside the wagon..wheels spinning not really going anywhere..for a second I was just frozen with fear..thinking THE COWBOY IS GONNA KILL ME...one of the last things he said was don't break anything...Then My friend Linda sitting next to me says JUST FLOOR IT..snapped me back to reality and I just DID IT..I floored that baby and we made it..only to get to the other side that had just as much water.....I kept it floored the whole time.And when the ride was over.....everyone in the back was covered in a layer of MUD..hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
My friends who insisted on riding in front truely know the fact that I don't think things thru...and they were safe...but Laura kept freaking out that Linda was spilling her wine on her..seemed pretty funny when the ride was over..Laura is saying I have wine on my jeans and everyone sitting in the back is covered in MUD.

I want to think all my friends for helping make the egg hunt happen....And to Michelle next time I say ride in the back with the kids...JUST SAY NO
Bunnies,Sunshine,Butterflies,and Rainbows
So which of these cute things don't belong?Come on I bet you can get it..Give up?
BUNNIES or in my case one solo little bunny.He's cute as can be.He's they type of bunny that if you saw him in the woods wou would stop to say AWWWWWWWWW....well unless you were my neighbor Tator..With a name like Tator you can pretty much figure out that man would shot that bunny and have it for dinner..ok back to the bunny that clearly does not belong.
Before the cowboy left he was fencing off a piece of land for me to garden on...now living on a cattle ranch he fenced to keep big animals out..you know horses and cows and one crazy pony.So he used Barbwire..awesome stuff...however that tends to keep LARGE animals out.
The whole time the cowboy was fencing this land...there was a little brown bunny watching him..I kid you not..this bunny set up on a hay pile and watched the cowboy.Its like the bunny knew.Then while I was planting I saw the bunny.And you know what....I took the time to say AWWWWWWWWWWW..look at the little bunny how cute.
My garden is growing nicely..however some little critter has been getting in.I knew deep down it was the BUNNY..but being me I needed real proof.I couldn't just blame the bunny..its a cute little bunny afterall.
The other night one of my great friends Andrea stopped by..as I opened the door she almost burst out laughing and said I saw the bunny!!!I said where is is going..THE GARDEN!That bunny..in all its cuteness is eating the garden.So I say maybe since its just one bunny its not a big deal..Thats when Andrea told me bunnies tend to live in groups,
So this cute little bunny was like a spy.It was doing recon on my ranch.And I fell for it.I bet they had a little bunny meeting and sent out the cutest of the group.
Me and the bunny might have to do battle
