Have you ever been waken up in the middle of the night by someone banging on your door? Poor Marshall jumped out of bed and was dressed in two seconds flat. There was a man wondering around our little town last night and it is our house he decideds to visit. It was about midnight and this man has his face looking in the window and scared the crap out of us. Marshall, being a guy, had to open the door to see what he wanted. I would have just hid and hoped that he went away. The man said that his car broke down several miles up the interstate and wanted to know if we could help him. Then he said he had a flat tire. He wanted to use our phone to call long distance but ever since my stepdad changed phone servers and business plans (another long story) our long distance doesn't work so we couldn't help him. After we locked the doors we called the sherrifs department and explained the situation. We sat in the dark entry way watching as the sherriffs car drove around looking for this man. We finally received a call back that they had found him and had taken him where he had to go. I couldn't go back to sleep so I laid in bed thinking about how sad it is that in todays world, even in our small town in North Dakota, you are afraid to help someone because you fear people you don't know. I wish we could have offered him more than a ride in a sherrifs car to his destination.......I wish we could have invited him in, offered him something hot to drink to warm him up and fixed his tire......I hope he understood why we couldn't.

Time to sell girl scout cookies and I lost my best customers!! Their daughter is now in girl scouts and there goes about 30 boxes! And this year I have two girl scouts selling cookies. Time to pull out my hair. Wanna buy some cookies.........pleeeeeeaaaase!!!

I thought of you today,
I wish I could give you a call
How did we end up here?
Do you even miss me at all?
So much anger between us....
How did we grow apart?
Tears come to my eyes,
A deep pain inside my heart.
I know that you are well,
Or at least that's what I'm told
New house, new car,
New life, new wedding ring of gold
You shut me out, I've slammed the door
No more left to say
Except for I'm sorry, I love you.....
....Maybe another day.
Maybe this will all make sense,
Maybe someday I'll see,
But today I sit with tears pouring down
For two sisters, you and me.

I never knew how strage our limousine drivers......errr excuse me "professional chauffeurs" were! Try to picture this if you can. I am setting up our booth at last weekends wedding show and I had taken out some suction cups hoping to be able to hang our sign with them. The suction cups didn't work so I set them aside as I decorated the table. One of the drivers picks up the suction cup and sticks it to his forehead with a long string of lights hanging from it. I think he says something about his brains falling out. Did I mention that he is bald? It was definitely a strange sight especially when he pulled off the suction cup and he was left with a purple "hicky" like mark in the middle of his forehead that didn't go away. If you are a person who is always "politically correct" you would never fit in with this group. The insults were flying faster than I could keep track of them. Let me see, we had the fat one, the bald one, the short one and of course the one who's only date in quite some time has been his hand. Notice I didn't mention any names? I did take some funny pictures and as threatened they will be posted here as soon as I develop them. Can you tell I had fun? hehe
