My 5 Ct. Valentine Gift

Hope ya'll had a wonderful Valentine weekend! I did! Yep, yes sirree! My husband bought me a bright, shiney, really big 5 Ct. washing machine! And I am OVERJOYED! You see, my Maytag Neptune sounded like a jet airplane every time it went into the spin cycle and I never knew if it was going to dump the entire tub of water on my floor.

So, DH started doing some serious washer shopping. Went on-line, read consumer reports, checked prices . . . and this is what we got . . .




A Whirlpool Cabrio! I swore I would never buy a front load again. And I didn't. This is probably the only thing my gal-pal, Les, and I disagree on! She loves her front load and I hated mine! BUT . . .I can not believe how much laundry I can do at one time. I can wass at least 15 towels! And it spins the buggers so fast, they are almost dry when I take them out! AND I don't even hear it! Well . . . I do a little but at least I can talk on the phone in the back bedroom and people can hear me now!

Now on to the really great Valentine's present! The men of the Broken Y went teamroping on Sunday. Bo, my 11 year old son roped in the #8. If you aren't familiar with the number format for teamroping, every teamroper that wants to rope at USTRC Sanctioned events has to be classified by a number. Since Bo just started, he's a 2. His dad is a #5, the pro's are usually around a 9 and the highest being 10. So Bo roped in a #8 roping and both partners have to equal 8 or less.

He and one partner came back 6th fastest team in the short go - and ended up winning the whole shabang! Pocketed a wad of cash, a box of chocolates and a sweatshirt that said champion down the arm. Not bad for a kid roping with a bunch of grown men!

Now . . . the husband roped in the #10 - so both partners have to equal ten or less. He had three call backs to the short go - 12th, 8th, and 6th fastest teams back. He finished 3rd in that roping ...WE WERE EXCITED! He pocketed some moolaw also and a good day was had by all!!

It's been a good weekend. Bailey and I both made really good runs on Friday but were just out of the money, then the men won on Sunday, and I'm washing clothes in my new washing machine!

OH, by the way - Dear, sweet hubbie turned 42 on Monday! We had to celebrate that as well. AND as usual, I have a fancy new camcorder/camera combo and have no pictures!




Have a wonderful week, friends. I'm slowly getting caught back up. You can catch me on facebook (Paula Bailey Yaussi) as well.

Remember, the magnificient Creator of the universe is waiting for your call!

Once again, I am totally drawn to The David Crowder Band. So NOT western but so full of music that brings glory to the Father! Now . . . if I could get them like this, all the time . . .I would be set! I love blue grass! The more pickin' and fiddlin' the better!

Here ya go - The Pickin' and Grinnin' David Crowder Band!



Blessings Ya'll~

Neglect!

Yes!! I charge myself with neglect! There is so much going on in blogdom and I've been so busy that I have neglected my blog addiction!


I am actually looking forward to the winter storm that is supposed to blow in. I know . . . someone take my temperature!

But . . . I'm thinking about the time that I'm gonna have to sit with my laptop, in front of the fireplace and catch up with all of you!!

That makes this winter storm a little welcome!

What is happening?

I'm not sure . . . .I have a girl at my house who is now taller then me, a boy who is almost as tall as me . . . . and two more boys that are growing out of their pants way too fast!

What is happening? Global kidwarming? Kid mutation? Extra-torestrial involvement? Or is it . . .




time passing too quickly!

Update on Rohn Eckerman

Sheri posted today, Rohn is doing better this morning. The neckbrace got to come off last night and his neck is fine, just sore right now. The extra x ray of his hip is clear. He sat up this morning for the first time and is really sore all over. He has a severe concussion and will take a few days or weeks to shake that, they said it varies person to person with concussions. They said that he needs to get up and get moving without passing out or getting to dizzy to walk, etc. Hopefully this afternoon. Thank you for your prayers and love.

He asked Sheri what happened then he said with a smile, "I guess I didn't get any points today."

Thank you dear friends for your prayers. I am a friend magnet. I want to know everyone and visit with everyone when I go to these competitions. However, not all ladies are open. Sheri, on the other hand, looks you square in the face when she's talking to you and genuinely wants to know you. She has been a blessing to me. Thank you for keeping her precious husband in your prayers!

Blessing~
