Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

On New Year's Eve, Marilyn stood up in the local pub and said that it was time to get ready. At the stroke of midnight, she wanted every husband to be standing next to the one person who made his life worth living. Well, it was kind of embarrassing. As the clock struck, the bartender was almost crushed to death.

Good morning everyboomie.
We had a ton of rain fall last night. Today was sunny and a bit cooler, and the wind was blowing like crazy.
I can't wait to make it out to the sod farm again.
Jason and I went down to the gun range this morning, and had a 'blast'.
The only thing I don't like about a gun range is that you have to listen to everyone else's gun fire, not just your own. Even with headphones on it's still loud.
Jason has one more day here before returning home.
We'll make the most of it.
Have a happy day everyone.
