YaHoo!

Or is it YeeHaw?
Anyhow,  the Calgary Stampede just ended and can you believe we made it another year without winning the dream home or pot of gold?  Go figure.
We haven't been down to the grounds for a few years, thanks to these babies, but this year we braved it.  All I can say is that once we left we all agreed that it'd do us for another couple of years.  Good grief those crowds!

Of course Veronica didn't mind.  She hated the crowds but thanks to Papa those precious feet never touched the ground and as for the people, what people?  She only saw the tops of heads.

Zoe seemed to enjoy herself.  Or maybe it was just the cotton candy.  Mm mm.  Cotton Candy.  Did you know they use it to make martinis now?

Oh my.  That looks good.  Apparently once you add the alcohol it just adds a little sweetness and color.  What a great drink to serve for a girl's night.  Do they still have girl's nights?  I could use 1 or 10 of those while I pack.  Martinis that is.  I don't want a girl's night unless it involves a spa.  In which case yes, I could use 10 spa days.

And there's something I won't be having 1 or 10 of.  Deep fried jelly beans.  They were good.  They tasted like corn fritters with berries in them.  Not really like jelly beans.  Either way they were a whole lot of empty calories and they were hot, with little molten bits of hot melted jelly bean.

Oh, and did I mention packing?  Yes packing.  Because uh... our house is SOLD (more later)!  I've decided that the important thing about moving is to maintain a sense of humor.  I've also been relentless about accurate labeling of all boxes.

That pretty much sums up what's in that box.  Funny thing though, I hadn't noticed what was on all the boxes we purchased until I looked at the side view of the 30 some odd ones stacked neatly in our garage.  Every one of them says TOILET PAPER.  If you're driving by and happen to look in our garage you will notice that a family of TP hoarders lives there.  Or maybe you might think we have potty issues.  I'm not pointing any fingers but some (VERONICA) of us do.
