What the Buck?!?

Today I was going about work as normal and I had to run to the building next door to deliver some papers. As I was coming back to the other building I heard this weird click-clack sound on the pavement. I looked up, and what to my wonderous eyes did appear? A 4-point buck! He was just strolling along, crossing between our buildings, then crossed the road and continued down on his merry way.

I wasn't sure I really saw it happen, but I did! I've heard rumor that our building is prone to animal visitors, especially during the winter, but I didn't think I'd ever experience it for myself. I think this is an omen to a good weekend!

I think I'd be scared that he would charge at me, but that's NEAT, especially since I work next door to you. I'm definitely going to keep my eyes out for big bucks cuz the craziest wildlife I've seen around there so far is a squirrel.

Is it coincidence that "buck" and "luck" rhyme? I think not!

...Let us not venture to explore the other words that also rhyme. Just let it be.

Did you at least try to shoot it? I mean, when it wanders so willingly into your hands it's like its begging to become your next batch of homemade jerky!

A West Side Story

Operator : West Valley Police Dispatch. How can I help you? Me : Yeah... I found a suspicious package on my driveway this morning. It's a clear bag full of money and some sort of mixture that looks like sand and salt. Operator : Can you tell what it is? Me: No, but I thought it might be drugs so I called. I can clearly see a $100 bill. Operator: Ok. I'll send some officers out there soon. Me: Should I move the bag away - in case the person comes back for it? Operator: No, don't touch it till they get there and see what it is. So I patiently wait and because I'm certain that the person who dropped this will be back, I wait outside and stand right over the package. Ten minutes later a cop car pulls up. Officer 1 : Hello Miss. So, you have a suspicious package huh? Me: Yes, it's right here. I'm not sure what it is, but I haven't touched it. Officer 2: You found it this morning? Me: Yes, as I was taking the garbage out. I checked with my...

Home! Home on the range!

Well Spring time is approaching and that means it's time for yard work. This is my first time being responsible for a yard and last Summer I had my first experience mowing and edging a lawn. Now that Spring is here, it's time to prep the lawn and the flower beds. I went out back the other day to start cleaning up the yard and pick up whatever had been hiding under the snow for the past few months.  I walked out back and realized I had a much bigger issue on my hands. The wind had been really strong the past few nights and I hadn't really bothered to check on what had blow in. Here's what I found: sorry it's blurry - cell phone camera I wasn't sure what to do - there were at least 30 tumbleweeds in my backyard. I just stared at them for a few minutes, and then put my complicated game plan into action. Now, you're probably wondering how to take care of removing 30 GIANT tumbleweeds from your yard.  Some people think you should break them down and put ...

Who's the Boss?

I believe that each of us are with our specific parents for a reason - that Heavenly Father placed us with those parents who could best help us, compliment us, assist us and love us.  I feel very fortunate to be with the family I have, especially my dad. My dad has always been and always will be the the role model and example of a worthy Priesthood holder, a supportive husband and a loving father that I look up to and will compare my future companion to.  I have a lot of great memories of my dad; but one of my favorites is Saturday mornings as a kid. My siblings and I all have a love for good cartoons and back in the day Bugs Bunny and friends ran Saturday mornings in our house. We would get up early and head down to watch our cartoons - soon my dad was close behind helping us pour bowls of cereal and sitting down and watching cartoons with us.  To this day my dad will sit down with the grandkids and watch an episode of Bugs Bunny or any other Looney Toons video. I have...
