Kinky just called to tell me that he will be on Imus at 6:30 Texas Time! Today has been great! This morning after taking care of a little paperwork, I went outside to visit with Ben, Aaron and Tony down at the barn. After taking care of the dogs, they helped Tony with his building project—a standup shaker-sifting box, to use for his arrowhead hunting! And, it is first class, with a latch, hinges, and a pull up rope! I will take a picture tomorrow and show it to y'all!
Ben, Tony and I then went to Kerrville for some supplies. When we returned to the rescue ranch, Kinky's friends, Don and Bob, came by to checkout the rescue ranch. When they reached our trailer, I invited them to go into Outer Space with Tony, Ben and me for a visit. The conversation flowed out there, it was fun, and filled with laughter!
With Ben there, I bragged about Miles of Chocolate, and then served them some of it. Bob and Don were totally impressed, and loved it and cleaned the plate! I also gave Bob, who is from Louisiana, who adopted Mama, our three-legged Pit Bull, last February—a beautiful picture of Mama—that Tony had taken of her. He loved it! Then, Tony decided to show them—Tony's Flashlight! When Tony came outside with it—everyone laughed! Then Don took a picture of Tony with his gigantic spotlight.
When Bob and Don needed to get back over to the Lodge, I told them about my Space Ship, and then we went inside it. "I had planned on doing all of the work, using my nail gun and chop saw, but I only got to do very little of the work, because Tony, Ben and Aaron wanted to do it. So, they took turns, chopping, nailing etc. And they did a great job. I love it!"
When we left my Space Ship, I walked with Don and Bob, down to the barn, and gave each of them, a loaf of the Miles of Chocolate delicious Pear Bread. As they were thanking me and Ben for their loaves—Cindy drove up! I said goodbye to the men, and then walked back towards the trailer, to greet Cindy.
Cindy had brought a DVD, that she wanted to show to Tony and me, but before we watched it, Tony and I grabbed some Brie cheese, from France, that we had purchased from HEB—and the Monet Entertainer Crackers, that Rick and Leisa had left for us. While the three of us ate the delicious cheese and crackers, Cindy told us about fixing Drew's asparagus soup recipe, using her newly purchased more expensive blender! After the Brie disappeared—we shoved her DVD, 'Brule—Live At Mt. Rushmore' into our player and watched it!
It is an amazing DVD, and it gave me good goosebumps! Tony and I could not believe how great it was! Before Cindy left, she gave me the info on it. "Go to zangomusic.com and type in Brule—Live at Mt. Rushmore! As soon as Cindy had driven off into the sunset—I ordered it and we can't wait until it gets here! It is awesome!
I hope that y'all have a great evening and thank you for reading my blog! I love writing!

Cousin Nancy, thanks so much for sharing info on this wonderful DVD. I've not heard of this before. Wanting to hear the music, I YouTubed it and there it was, in two parts. I've been sitting here watching and listening.
Simply amazing. Wish I had been there.....
I'll be ordering a copy myself.
Peace,
Nanci
