Some Interesting Neighbors!

These are actually some neighbors of ours. No, not where we're building the house, but near the RV Park we are at! The camel isn't always out, but the buffalos are! Today, when we spotted the camel, I had Don turn around so I could get a picture! I kept waiting for it to spit especially since it was "foaming at the mouth", but it never happened (and I was VERY thankful)!

I wouldn't have been surprised since Tess was in the back of the car barking non-stop! I wander what she (Tess) would have done if we had let her out of the car!

I have a funny (well, to me anyway) story that has nothing to do with the animals! Last weekend my mom, Ashleigh and I went to a holiday boutique. The local radio station was there having a drawing for tickets to a sold out "Hannah Montana" concert on Dec. 1st at the Alltel Arena in Little Rock. Being the good grandma, I signed up! The next day I got an early morning phone call from Ashleigh "Grandma, did we win"? I had to tell her that the drawing wasn't held yet, it was being held on the 17th. Saturday morning she called, "Grandma, did they do the drawing"? I told her that it was between 2 and 3 (after reading the website...I knew that if we didn't get called before today...most likely we weren't the winners). This morning, another phone call from Ashleigh "Grandma, did we win"? I had to tell her that "no, we didn't win". Being the good grandma that I am...I looked online at tickets (above I mentioned that they are "sold-out" through normal channels). Well, we won't be going to the Hannah Montana concert! Two tickets would cost over $400! Good I am, crazy I'm not! Ashleigh and I can listen to a whole lot of Hannah Montana CD's for $400!!!

The tickets could be an early Christmas present. Don't be so tight. We have 21 grandkids, will gladly take any extra's that you can come up with, at your expense...smile..We have been spending all or $$ on coach upkeep.
