An Evening Out or Not....

Our little town is hosting the Senior National Finals Rodeo. The event started this past Wednesday and ends tonight with the final performance. Last month we were given free tickets to use on any of the nights that the Rodeo was taking place. The tickets were free due to a misprint on the dates. If you click on the photo, you will see what I am talking about. We were thrilled to get the tickets and looking forward to our evening out. Then Hayman told me he would be going on the elk hunt with Mr. and Mrs. B. the first weekend in November....okay, so I knew he wouldn't be going, but Countrychick and I still planned to go. That is until the following events occurred........I was up very early with Hayman this morning getting the last minute stuff packed and the food ready to go. Upon opening the fridge, I noticed something odd, it wasn't cold. A refrigerator is supposed to be cold, ours was not. I opened the freezer side and a puddle of water greeted me...not the way I wanted to start my day!!! Hayman took a look, pulled the fridge out from the wall, checked all around, had me vacuum the coils, etc......at 6 AM in the morning. YAWN!!!!! He continued to pack, but did alert our boss to the fact that the fridge was on the fritz. Hayman left at 7:30 AM and I was left staring at the fridge and freezer. I had unplugged the dang fridge via Hayman's suggestion, then plugged it back in about 30 minutes later. In the meantime, I was hauling all of the stuff out of the freezer section, tossing what was no longer good and sticking the rest in the other freezer. What a MESS!! By the time I was done, I noticed I was not feeling very well. I lost my voice last night while out trick-r-treating with the kids and visiting with my good friend Mrs. L. By this afternoon, I had a full-blown sore throat and achy body. I'm also babysitting for Mr. and Mrs. B until Mrs. B's mom arrives tomorrow to take care of the little B's. I had promised Countrychick that we would go to the Rodeo this evening, taking her good friend Ms. J with us. This afternoon all of those plans changed......Mrs. L called to find out the plans for the evening and I told her about my day and how icky I felt. She said, "no problem, I will just take the girls to town to the Rodeo and you stay home and rest." What a SUPER GREAT FRIEND she is. This woman is the BEST!!! So Mrs. L took Countrychick, ( her daughter ) Ms. L and one of the little B's to town this evening for the rodeo. I'm home with the other little B, eating hot dogs, tater-tots and popcorn....what a combo!!

Here are Countrychick and Ms. L ( also know as Little Squishy ) They are ready for a night of country fun. Just look at those smiles........................I know they will all have fun, even the littlest one of the group. She was so excited to be included with the big girls. I will be kicking the fridge while they are gone and demanding that it work right again.....then littlest B and I are going to snuggle up, listen to the rain and watch a movie. ( and nurse my cold.......because I'm pretty sure that is what I'm coming down with.) Hayman called me before he lost cell service to let me know the following.....it was raining on them and they were still driving to the camp site, it might snow, but don't worry they will all be fine and if the fridge is still acting up on Monday, I'm to go to town, pick out a new fridge, charge it to Mr. B's account and have it delivered...........Wow, what a great Boss!!
