The end of a crazy week...
Today was the Fort Worth Stockyards celebration of Blue Bell's 100 anniversary. For you city folk up north, Blue Bell is THE ice cream here in the south (arguably). If you work there you get to "eat all you can and sell the rest". We got up early, did some chores and headed out for a morning of fun. Unfortunately, today was Friday and everybody else had to work. It was just me and my girl. We both had a GREAT time.
Check it out...
The first thing we did was head over to the bouncing station. It was in the shape of a Blue Bell 1/2 Gallon Vanilla.
Then we got an authentic Blue Bell ice cream hat.
Then we went to check out he longhorns!
After that, it was time for some good old fashioned Blue Bell Ice Cream.
One of the best parts of the day was when Oda Mae won the Stick Horse Race!
We were one of the first in line for balloon animals.
Afterwords, we made our way over to the cattle drive!!!!!!!
We had a few minutes to spare so I put Oda Mae in the Ft. Worth Jail!
When she got out, we strolled over to the big gunfight show.
Then we came home, ate lunch (PB&J), and took a much deserved nap.
Yep, I'd say we made memories today. Can't wait until the next time.

What a crazy week...
Oda Mae and I have been inside most of the week cause of all the rain. Oda Momma told me that we were getting Florida's weather for some reason.
Oda Mae and I have been playing Barbies quite a lot. For anyone who cares, we need more clothes!
Monday we went to do some chores for Granny. Mostly plumming...I hate plumming, but I didn't have any problems this time around. That's a change!
Tuesday night we took Oda Mae out with our friends (in the torential rains) to eat Vietnemese food. She liked the chop sticks! Not so much Vietnemese food though.
Wednesday morning, Oda Momma and I took Oda Mae to see her first real movie in the theatre! There is a free summer movie at the local RAVE Theatre. The only G movie they are showing this summer (which BTW makes NO sense to me) was Charlotte's Web. Oda Momma and I forgot that a while back a "real" movie was made. We were thinking THE CARTOON. Oda Mae did very well. We didn't have to leave until just over an hour into the movie. She like the talking ducks!
Today, we went out looking for a "new" Photoshop disk cause I've messed up my computer pretty bad this week. I found Ver. 1.1 at a local thrift store for $10.00. It's better than $100.00 for a new Ver. 5.0. So far it seems to still do everything I was doing on Ver. 2.0.
Oh yea...We found "Rachel" today with her head popped off. It kind of scared Oda Mae until we started playing "Who Wants A Lobotomy". Okay, I know that's awful, but it was just too funny...
"Rachel" Before
"Rachel" After
I'm completely caught up on the AREA 365 Photos. If you want to look at them all in one place, double click on my FLICKR page over there to the left. I've also updated MY LITTLE PEOPLE PAGE. It's been a while since I updated that page. We've got something like 30 new Little People added to our collection! BTW we're taking suggestions on new "Movies" to make with our Little People. If there's something you would like to see....we'll consider it.
That is all for now.

Seems I've found myself with the day off today. Whatever am I to do?
GG called day before YESTERDAY and asked if she could take Oda Mae for a while, like overnight and stuff. I asked her how long would she like to keep her! Oda Momma and I took Oda Mae to GG's work yesterday afternoon all packed up and ready to spend the night. Afterwords we went to the waterpark and rode all the rides Oda Mae can't. Then we went to eat at the "Super China Buffet" down the street. Then we went to go see Pirates 3 at the Rave. I think we made the most of our evening alone.
Today, Oda Momma has to work, but I'm stuck here all by myself. The world is my oyster! Maybe I'll go back to the water park for a day of cool fun. :) Or, I could do something productive...we'll see.

The Obligatory Father's Day Post
Oda Momma gave me some time off yesterday afternoon for the big day as she had to work most of today and is still not home yet. I worked on my genealogy, got to go to the library and NOT look for "Juvenile Fiction". It was nice to be able to be a little selfish for a while.
Today we took the Oda fam over to PaPa Mike's house for a good ol' BBQ. Dad was out making burgers, chicken, and sausages at 10:00 this morning cause we had to leave early. Not only that, it was pouring down rain! We had a great lunch...THANK YOU!
After that, Oda Mae and I came home and took a nap, played with our Little People, played with our New "University" Barbie and cleaned up the house a bit. We ate some dinner and she had a bath then we had quite time and finished reading "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". We'll put that on our reading list for this week.
We also called my dad and left him a father's day message. Hope he gets it.
Tomorrow it's back to the grindstone. I've got some pretty cool stuff planned for us to do over the next few weeks. I should have some interesting stories.
