The Crazy and The Weird

 Just in case I didn't make myself clear ... I love our Bingo volunteers!!  I have just as many faults, if not more, than they do.  The good part is we all get along so well that Bingo runs like a clock.  MOSTLY!  

I think there are times when we ALL are pulling our hair out.  Let's face it ... we are all old and set in our ways.  On the other hand, every one of them would do just about anything for each other.  Okay, maybe not ANYTHING, but it's a nice thought anyway!!

Without each other, we would not be donating over $100,000 every year to charitable organizations featuring KIDS.  Who would not love that!

Speaking of crazy and weird, here's my other treasure made of wood.  I was up in the Sierra mountains one day when I found this little store.  Inside they had lots of hand carved wooden statues.  Mostly bears, since there are a lot of them up there trashing garbage cans.

That's when I spotted this three foot tall buzzard!  I had never seen anything like it.  In an instant, it came home with me.  That must have been about 28 years ago and he's still in pristine condition.  I've looked for more carved buzzards ever since, but have never seen even one.  Yes, that's a Christmas decoration that has lived up there for 25 years.  

Here's another one.  Yes, I'm making it this year.  Hot glue red and white ribbon on some greenery, then wrap it in little lights and glue it to the sleeves.  Glue the light controls on the cuffs.  The bow is hot glued on last.

Put your arms up.  THE PERFECT UGLY SWEATER!!  Yeah, I laughed at this one.  I know, it's weird!!  You could even make this your Halloween costume with a black sweatshirt that would not show in the dark.  Yeah, I have a weird sense of humor.

It's all the cat's fault.  This kid is crazy AND weird.  She was once again snooping around the house when I caught her in front of the TV.  Two seconds later, she jumped over to Jonathan's table.  NO NO little girl!  I slapped the table and she went skittering across the slippery floor headed to the door.  

Jonathan went right back to eating like nothing happened.  He's truly not scared ... he will slam his beak into the cage in a nanosecond.  I just hope Kitters little paws, or worse her face, are not ever too close.

At 10:00 I got a frantic call from a frustrated boss trying to do some Quickbooks accounting.  You know how computers can bring out the worst in people, including me.  I wasn't sure I could help, still being full of brain fog from Bingo.  Sometimes it takes me all day to clear it up.  

Two hours later, I was back home in the rain, just enough to make my truck a muddy mess.  Mr. Cooper and I crashed on the couch.  We spent the rest of the day just hanging out, not that there was much left of it.  No, there was no sleeping because the HOUSE neighbor is now building a 3,000 square foot metal shop building.  Between the banging and the LaBamba music, it's been too loud for napping.

That's when I got the call.  The Bike Shop three towns over has the bike rack I was looking at.  They said to come on over and check it out.  Oh LOOK ... I think they have a fabric shop in that town ... and a Hobby Lobby!!!  How could I not go???
