Random Thoughts

Howdy again folks!
The last post was Random Quotes, so I guess I can name this one Random Thoughts! How's that?

Don't you think there should be a candy called Happy Farmer? I mean, they have Jolly Ranchers, so why can't they have Happy Farmers, too? That would be a fun candy! They should be crop shaped, rainbow colors, and taste like chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel!

Speaking of food, this is what we had for supper the other night! Mmm yum!

Do you like bull riding? We went to the Championship Bull Riding event in Dodge City last night! Our brother-in-law's company was the main sponsor, so he was able to get cheap tickets for us. Convenient, huh? It was the first time Patty and I had ever seen live bull riding and it was LOTS of fun! I had always thought that I liked the horse side of rodeos better, but I'd never actually seen live bull riding! It is exhilaratingly exciting! I wasn't even bored after two hours of it; I was disappointed that that was it. Anyway, I never thought I'd like bull riding so much, but it's fun. (To watch I mean... I've never actually tried it myself so I can't say how fun it is to do the actual riding! But it's probably really fun until you hit the ground. HAHA! I love the sensation of falling though. My favorite dreams are falling dreams. 'Cause you can pretend you're flying! ... until you hit the ground.) Anyway, that was a ton of fun! Plus, I was VERY pleasantly surprised that the announcer guy prayed before the event began! And he said something about how it was God who created the bulls, and who gives all of us the talents and abilities we have. Anyway, that was really good! I never would have expected that at a bull riding event.


Here's a vivid Kansas sunrise =)

Random picture of the walls that we're working on...

This amaryllis had TEN blooms this year! You can't see all ten of them in this picture, but nine bloomed out at around the same time, and then the tenth one waited until the others were starting to die. It wanted to have it's own glory or something...!

I guess that's about all of my random thoughts for the moment. I can't wait until the next time we get to see bull riding! It rivals the excitement of football! .... Okay, wait a second, not the excitement of last minute tense endings to football games! But it is great fun, plus, it's ranch people, not city people!

Adios!

Random quotes...

Here are some interesting quotes gleaned from Patty's journal.  (She got them from various sources)
"Looking at the bright side of things will improve, not damage, your insight."
"Rainmaking isn't all that difficult; just plan a picnic or wash your car."
"The cure for boredom is curiosity, for which there is no cure!"  (Yeah, you can't cure the dead cat!)
"The sound of laughter carries farther than the sound of weeping."
"Here's a mystery... Why is soup never spilled on a tie you don't like?"  (...maybe 'cause you never wear it...!)
"Impatience is waiting in a hurry."
"Money talks... It usually only says "Good bye!" "
"You don't need a search warrant when looking for trouble."  (Haha, very funny...)
"An argument is a head-on collision of two trains of thought."  Patty: "Well then, don't let trains think!"  Hahaha!
"If you believe that you are what you eat, don't eat nuts."  (Or bananas or ... Bother, I thought of a whole bunch the other day but can't now!)
"If you like stirring plots, read a cookbook."  HAHAHA!!  That's a good one!
I may edit this post sometime with pictures to go along with some of the quotes, but I'm not going to at this present moment of time!  Hope you enjoyed those...
