TGIF....I hope!

Holy Crap. Can I say that? TGIF. I’m just praying that I survive today, so please say your prayers.
Tuesday afternoon…I was walking through the tunnel of the Union, over to the Grant Street Garage to go home. As I’m walking up the stairs out of the Union, I completely bite it on the stairs, and fall clear to my knees. EMBARASSING. Some nice guy behind me of course, asks if I’m okay, and as my face goes through 50 shades of red…I think I said “Well shit…if I’d just pick up my feet”….and kind of made a joke out of it. I was so flustered from my klutziness…that I went to the 4th floor when I was parked on the 3rd, missed my turn going to Pam’s, and well…you see the trend here. It had me completely flustered and embarrassed. Not to mention, my foot was sore for the next couple of days because I probably pulled a muscle or something. EMBARRASSING.
Let’s top that. Today, I’m happily taking my darling son into Pam’s, and going down her stairs, like I do every morning. Out of nowhere, I miss the step, stumble down about three of them, sound like a damn freight train crashing through her walls, and eventually, catch myself on the last step and stand up with that again, horrified face of red, to say “I’m okay…I’m okay…” – after hearing Pam GASP and say “Oh no!” mid-fall. Colton, God Bless him, in my arms through all this tragedy, starts to whimper like “What the hell Mom?” – and reaches for Pam! I about died. Not only did I look like a fool who can’t walk, I about dropped my child in my fall down the babysitters stairs, only to have him reach for HER for safety and comfort. Again…EMBARASSING!!!
My best friend Stacy and I always had a rule, an old quote if you will – “Dude, if you fall, I’m probably gonna laugh first, and THEN ask if you’re okay”….that was always our rule. I know, if she were there...when I made a total arse out of myself, she would have been laughing so hard, she wouldn't have even been able to ask if I was okay.
So far, I think I’m fine. My ankles aren’t swollen yet, but they are a little sore. So is some random muscle up my left shin. Oh well…that’s what I get for being a klutz. I’m blaming on the pants that are too big that hang down too far, but really…I think it was just me.
Pray that I survive today. I thought my luck was turning up when I won the game on K105 last night and got 4 tickets to the Amanda Overmyer concert in Indy at the 8 second saloon…and a George Straight cd. I think. I was so excited, I didn’t really listen to what I won. I should have played the lottery last night – at least if I won something, I’d have the cash to pay for my doctors visits that might result from all this klutziness...

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

Central Indiana Winter Spectacular

 We kicked off show season with this set of calves in mid-January at the Central Indiana Winter Spectacular, a first time show down in Cloverdale, Indiana. I'm not sure what was more fun - being with our kids and friends at a cattle show, or listening to our kids meddle over the thought of staying in a Motel 6.  (Backstory on this one -- when I worked at Purdue/in the Conference division, I held a few conference at The Hyatt in downtown Indianapolis. When I had events there, I'd earn points. We then would use those points for free night stays....I think I had maybe 15 or so over the years. So, the only hotel my kids know, is a Hyatt, because unbeknownst to them, it was FREE.....which is the ONLY reason we stayed in such a nice place with young kids. So, imagine their dismay when the Motel 6 in Cloverdale didn't have an Eagles Nest rotating up top, or an indoor pool and hot tub/workout area. We have officially raised hotel snobs.....because when we finally took them to the k...
