A Wrinkle In Time

  Every summer brings new beginnings and since the first official day of summer was on June 21st, I thought that this would be a perfect time to begin my new blog.  So far my summer has been pretty enjoyable as well as interesting.Â
  At the beginning of my summer, I went with my Dad and my Grandma to Three Forks, Montana to attend my cousin’s high school graduation.  During this trip I got to see mountains for the first time.  Sure I’ve seen pictures of them on television and in books and what not but there is nothing like seeing them in person.  They are pretty amazing!  I’ve also got a game of golf in with Jackie before she left for Medora.  Golfing with Jackie is always crazy fun and I miss it.  Just the other day I did som fishing with my Dad out on the boat which resulted in a really bad sunburn.  I’ve discovered that sunblock actually works, I burnt in all the places that I didn’t put the sunscreen on; shoulders, face, etc.  I can’t decide if I look more like fat santa clause or bob the tomato….either way I feel like a fat piece of bacon sizzling on the frying pan. 
Other then my sunburn, the only other negative thing that has happened to me this summer is having to quit my job.  I ended up having to quit my job at Heartland Care because I could no longer afford to drive into town for just four hours of work.  I talked to my boss and asked for more hours during the summer, but she wasn’t able to give them to me.  I wish I would have known, even before I started working there, that I wouldn’t have been able to get more hours during the summer months.  I think that this was the hardest job for me to leave because I enjoyed it so much.  Oh well, maybe I can get my evening hours back when school starts again….
  On a happier note, today my friend Emilie, and I went to J-town to visit our friend Emily.  While we were there we stopped at Dominos for pizza and this is when I saw my first real live cross dresser and believe me they are even creepier in person then they are in the movies.  It was a he/she with a beard and go-go boots.  I had a really tough time trying not to laugh at him/her in front of him/her.  We also stopped to tour this Buffalo Museum/History Park.  At this park they had the World’s Largest Buffalo statue and while we were walking around the statue and taking pictures and what not I heard this lady tell her husband to explain to her little girl about the Buffalo’s “anatomy”.  I was so shocked.  Why would anyone teach their children about that subject using the World’s Largest Buffalo statue?  The little girl wasn’t even asking questions, the mother was the one who iniated the conversation.  Maybe I’m just weird, but that just isn’t the way I would go about explaining stuff like that to my kids.  The poor little kid probably won’t be able to look at a buffalo the same way again.  Anyhow I’ve included a link down below for you to view the statue if you want to.  I can’t wait to see what the rest of my summer will be like!

Summer’s Golden Days
Summer spills her golden days
Upon the earth in lust displays.
She softly sways the apple trees
As songbirds sing sweet melodies.
Summer wears a flower flock
Of goldenrod and hollyhock.
She spreads her magic uncontrolled
In blankets colored bright and bold.
Summer sings her lullabies
To buzzing bees and butterflies.
Silver moonbeams light the night;
I see a falling star in flight.
God sends the Summer scenery,
The birds, the bees, the greenery.
His tranquil nights and sun-filled days
He sends in summertime displays.
Poet, Nora M. Bozeman

Tip of The Day:
Do NOT put a chocolate bar in your car and expect it not to melt and then try to get it solid again by placing it in your freezer.  By doing so you will have lost the orginal flavor and have created a chocolate mess!
