Wordless Wednesday

Stormy Tuesday

As I sit here and wait for the storms to roll in, I reflect on my decision today. I am going to start my weight loss/exercise program in the morning. I have steadily been gaining weight and realize I must do something before it gets completely out of hand. Wish me luck!

Don't forget to vote for Dalton this week!

Another Monday

Good Monday to everyone! I had a pretty good weekend. Our Bulldogs beat the Midgets 46-16 on Friday in what was a really awesome game! Don't forget to vote for Dalton Preston for player of the week this week! Friday is Homecoming with a tough opponent in West Platte.

Mizzou also won Saturday night in a very close game against San Diego State University. It wasn't pretty but it put a "W" in the win column anyway!

Dalton Preston is nominated player of the week St Joe News Gazette. Cast your vote on line. He is an awesome kid and player! Thanks

This Day in History--September 19

On this day in history there are several birthdays including Matthew Perry (1969), Trisha Yearwood (1964), Joan Lunden (1950), Jeremy Irons (1948) and Adam West (1928). This is also a very special day because one of my bestest friends Tanya turns a very youthful 40 today! Happy happy Birthday Tanya!

On this day in 2002 William Rosenberg, founder of Dunkin Donuts died and well as Orville Reddenbacher in 1995. Also on this day, James A. Garfield was shot and killed in 1881. Which brings me to another stop on our Ohio trip.

James A. Garfield only served a short 200 days in office before being shot by Charles Guiteau on July 2nd at a railroad station in Washington D.C. The reason the deranged political seeker gave was that he thought Chester A. Arthur should be president instead. Garfield was the only sitting member of the House of Representatives to have been elected president and his one and only executive order was to give executive government workers the day off on May 30, 1881 in order to decorate the graves of those who died in the Civil War.

BYC Day!

Today I would like to shamelessly plug my favorite website Backyard Chickens. There isn't a better place on the world wide web to learn anything you need to know about chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, turkeys or any other animals you have questions about. It is also full of great recipes, auctions and many great people. I have learned so much from reading the forums and have found my best friendships on there. If you have never visited there before, head on over, you will be impressed on how amazing the website is!

Another Football Friday!

This is football Friday week #4. Our Trenton Bulldogs take on the Putnam County Midgets. This game holds a special place in my heart since the Midgets are also the team rival of my Alma Mater the Milan Wildcats. I have the pleasure to get the chance to see both my favorite teams play them this year and I am hoping to report a 2-0 record against them!
