BONNY HUNT VS THE VIEW

I LOVE TALK SHOWS, MY FAVORITES ARE THE ELLEN SHOW AND NEXT THE BONNY HUNT SHOW, FOR LATE NIGHT I LOVE CRAIG FERGUSON. TODAY ON BONNY SHE SAID HER CONTRACT IS UP IN MAY. I REALLY HOPE THEY RENEW HER CONTRACT, SHE IS SO REFRESHING AND REAL, LIKE ELLEN AND OPRAH. IT IS DEFINITLY A GREAT FAMILY SHOW, AND SHE IS SO FUNNY! I DON'T WATCH THE VIEW BECAUSE THEY ARE SO LOUD AND COMPETETIVE, SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T TELL WHATS GOING ON AT ALL. BONNY HAS A VERY NICE VARIETY OF GUESTS. ALL I CAN SAY IS KEEP HER ON. EVERYONE SHOULD CHECK HER SHOW OUT AND SEE HOW GREAT IT IS. WELL ANYHOW THAT'S MY OPINION AND I'M STICKEN TO IT!!!!!!

RAIN IN THE WINTER

Here in Minnesota it's not rare to rain in the winter...but usually not in January. This is the month we have our winter carnival, you know, ice sculptures, ice hockey games on the lake, they had to give up the hockey because of about 3" of rain on the ice, it was not a pretty sight! Walking around here get's to be a real challenge in the parking lot's at the stores. So far this season has been really bad for the whole world, so Minnesota weather isn't so bad compared to Haiti and California's weather. People laugh at our snow season but the worst we get up north here is snow and tornado's, not that tornado's aren't bad, we do get great warnings from the weather centers so we can prepare for the worst. Everyone say your prayers for Haiti, I can't imagine how horrible it is for them.

SUNDAY IN HUGO,MN.


This is my daughters house, and horses. This has been her dream for many years, and now here it is, her Ranch with horses. I had to show you a picture of my husband with the horses, he visits them before he goes into the house.hmmmm, He must get a better greeting from them than he does coming home.We have been together 38 years and I still find out new things about him, like really loving those horses, and riding the tractor out there. I'm sure if we lived closer he would be there everyday. He brings the horses big candy mints, they know who loves them. Everyone had a great time out there on Christmas Eve, they had a big fire in the fire pit, you can see that picture on my blog page.  Til next time have a safe 2010.

1950 FORD


This is the main project around our house for about a year now. It's something my Bob has always wanted to do, restore an old 1950 Ford. It's looking really good here, but it needs a new motor, he finally got one that works after trying 4 of them. He wants everything original...Do you know how hard that can be finding a 60 year old engine that works?  There is a plus with this, he has had lot's of friends over checking things out. And it has taken many cases of beer (for visitors) to keep things going. Bob has decided he would never do this again, he would buy one all finished. I can't wait for a ride, also it will be nice when I don't hear that we can't get that because I have to buy Ford parts. It has been interesting and mind bending for Bob. He says "I only hope to drive it before I die" He can be sooo negative sometimes, that's my Bob!!!

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

  THE OTHER DAY SOME OF (US OLDER WOMEN)  WERE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE WRINGER WASHERS, GREEN STAMPS, WASH CLOTHES IN SOAP BOXES, THE KIDS AROUND US HAD NO IDEA WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. THINGS HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON COMPARED TO WAY BACK WHEN, BUT WAY BACK WE REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY IT WAS. I SUPPOSE SOMEDAY THEY WILL BE TALKING LIKE US. IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE THAT IN THE FUTURE THERE WILL SO MUCH MORE IN TECHNOLIGY AND WAYS TO DO EVERYTHING EASIER AND FASTER. CAN YOU IMAGINE A TEEN IN THIS DAY ONLY GETTING A SHOWER ONCE A WEEK UNLESS YOU GET REALLY DIRTY, OR SHARING THE SAME BATH WATER WITH YOUR SIBLINGS, WELL THAT IS THE GOOD OLD DAYS, BUT I SURE LIKE THESE DAYS MUCH MORE. I ONLY HOPE THE NEW GENERATION CAN APPRECIATE HOW GOOD IT IS NOW. ANY   C OMMENTS FROM ANYONE ON THIS SUBJECT? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THEM.
