"less feelings" miscellaneous...LOL

Hick County has a new county attorney. She receives a whopping salary of $35,000.00 a year. Probably explains why she will be keeping her 3 or 4 other jobs, LOL. Also explains why there were only two people that were even interested in the job.

I have taught my male cockatiel a new call... he can whistle that da-da-da-da-da-da-CHARGE! tune...LOL Those birds are noisy, but they are a lot of fun. I love having animals around me.

The county extension office passed out sunflower seeds to all the school kids, and in July they can cut down their biggest plants to take to the county fair, where there will be awards for biggest heads and tallest plants. Isaiah is excited about it.
I remember being in 4-H as a kid, and loving the county fair. I took all sorts of things, from geology and entomology to sewing, cooking, and crafts. By then we lived in town, and I didn’t have a place for cows or sheep, but I love 4-H anyway. I hated the project talks and demonstrations, though. Anything I had to do standing in front of the whole club was horrible… When you’re the one everyone makes fun of, you learn to make yourself invisible, and standing in front of the club giving a presentation was no way to be invisible! LOL I remember my first demonstration, I was about 7 or 8, it was in cooking, and I had to demonstrate all the steps of making chocolate pudding from a box. LOL

I am trying to find someone I know who has a digital camera, so that I can take some pictures of my favorite places in Hick County to show you…. There are some beautiful hidden places here. I drive around in the country, and I see wild turkeys or deer, or the way the light hits a small stream through a large grove of trees, or the shadows in a valley in the early evening, and I think how great it would be to put that picture on my blog! Oh well, someday.

You know something? You might think about boarding dogs for folks... like a kennel. My momma does it there in WW and she makes hella bling bling from doing that. Just requires a few cages, a place to put them with A/C... and lots of dog food!

:D

There is a law in Hooterville that says that you can't have more than 3 dogs on your property at any time. We already have three, and none of them get along with "outsider" dogs...LOL I'd have to pay the city for a permit to do that sort of thing, and they would have the right to refuse me.

If you're putting up pictures, I'd like to see one of your new hair cut! ;o)
