It’s the middle of rattlesnake season here on the ranch. The local news anchor confirmed it. I’ve seen two already. While driving along our dirt road yesterday, I mistook a virulent enemy for a branch. I backed up the car, looked again and noticed the branch shifted revealing a rattle at its end. At one of our road association meetings in the barn, Shelby stood up and shouted, “ BOB !” to my next door neighbor. He’s our vice president and the one all eyes were on as he gave a presentation in the middle of the room. I sensed fear in the way she yelled his name. I learned after the meeting that Shelby called out to him like that because she saw a rattler slither in the barn door where she and I sat. Bob yielded to the interruption and quietly dispatched the enemy. Ten minutes later, this tough guy was back to center stage falling right back in step with the business at hand. Bob is my new best friend. ...

Oh wow! Her mother must be so proud! At least she's pretty! LOL. That was too funny my friend.
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs and Happy Friday.

She must have gone on her looks throughout her life, that's for sure. Funny or ...is it pitiful? LOL.
ReplyDeleteLove you...sending prayers!
ReplyDeleteBless her heart!! She does have her looks...enjoyed the laugh! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat was funny. My grandson's father is from Hungary. So it was extra funny to me.
ReplyDeleteAlso I am sorry I forgot to leave a comment below.
You are awesome and deserve a 100 awards.
Thank you for thinking of me with an award too.
Have a wonderful week.
You just wonder if she was absent or cutting classes in her geography or history classes. Though I knew of a co-worker once who never heard of Greece. I thought she was kidding at first but I was the only one laughing, until I zipped my lips.
ReplyDeleteGod bless sister Mary and love and prayers always to you. Have a great weekend.
My Sweet Friend,
ReplyDeleteYou always find the funniest things. You made me laugh again today and I surely needed that. :D
I'm with the others on this one, her mom must be so poud, DUH! LOL.
Love, Hugs & Prayers,

My goodness, I've so much catching up to do; happy I started here! Ya, it's scarey to think what our schools are (or AREN'T) teaching these days ... I work with a very (seemingly) bright young lady who recently asked in all honesty, "Does the President actually live in the White House?".
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day, Mary!
OMG!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteso funny!!
LOVE IT!
Have a Lovely Friday and a HAPPY 4th of July!!!
Ok That was funny! Really Funny!
ReplyDeleteI came by last night when you had first hit the publish button but had trouble loading.. glad my server is back to normal again today.
ReplyDeletehere sending you more smiles and hugs. Have a blessed weekend!
As to your header pic, i think it's like a burst of sunshine everytime someone comes in here. But if you do not feel comfortable, another idea is to move this to the side bar and have a more generalised picture like a flower/nature/ as a header instead.
(If you go to Dashboard, click Customize, you will see the Header box in the template. You can change the pic whenever you like a change by clicking Edit.)

I HOPE she was absolutely kidding through all of this...Oh my...well...she's cute....
ReplyDeleteYikes. That's actually a bit frightening...
Yikes! It makes me want to figure out how to give my eighth graders a basic knowledge kit so they don't end up like that pretty miss!
ReplyDeleteMaking rounds to share this special 4th of July with my blogging friends. Praise the LORD for our FREEDOM. Blessings to you and your family dear one.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! That's both amusing and tragic. (Watching the boy's expressions in the video were priceless!) Yet so many today are uneducated in regards to history and geography, that it scares me. Recently someone wrote to me that Ancient Rome, under Nero, was a Christian empire!?
