The Bad Day

So Carter and I have been having a tough time lately with some issues within our family. I came across a book we purchased a couple of years ago by Ben Goode called the Bad Day Book. It helped me realize that maybe I don't have it so bad. Here's an example of one of his stories.
Seven Indicators it could be a bad day if you're a Chicken!
1. If you wake up in the morning and find that you're hanging by your foot in China Town.
2. Hurrying to get dressed, you zip your feathers up in your pants.
3. The chicken below you, who has recently started smoking, wakes up in the middle of the night and catches your fine under feathers on fire.
4. You get all excited to lay another egg, but sadly, you discover that you just needed to go to the bathroom.
5. While you're pecking for bugs out in the yard, you notice out of the corner of your eye the KFC truck drive and stop.
6. the farmer messed up and instead of putting you back in with all the hens for the night, he put you in the pen with one hundred and fifty roosters.
7. Having overslept in the morning at your hotel, you catch the first courtesy bus that comes along. Instead of going to the Poultry show, you realize too late that you are on the bus headed for the weasel convention.
Have a Good Day everyone!!!!

Gratitude in abundance








Recently Colorado has had some really weird weather. Recently, my favorite brother-in-law on the Carter's side was hit by a tornado. We're so fortunate that no one was hurt or injured. Here are some pictures of the aftermath.
