Another Chance Ranch

At it again, Spying

Have you ever been home, but pretended not to be?  The other night McD received a phone call from some neighbors that wanted to come by to visit.  Our gate was closed so they weren't sure if we were home or not.  He answered the phone and said yes, HE was home.  He made it sound like I wasn't home.  So I didn't go out for the visit.  Instead, I did this.  Hee hee.  I giggled the whole time. 

They had to check out the pad and the scoring of it. 

See the door is open, I thought they might be leaving.  It would have made for a short visit, which is unusual.  The horses started coming up to see what was going on.

But they lingered.  (I think Dandy saw me.)

Finally it was getting dark so they decided to leave. 

Now if you are wondering how in the world I did this without them seeing me.  I was in the house with the blinds separated by my fingers.  At one point I was a bit worried they saw me, but I was wrong.  I was being the master spy.  Spy Tip:  If you are going to spy through the blinds.  Make sure you are spying through them at the top.  People will see you if you are in the middle of the window.  :)  It would be quite obvious.  How did I do this?  I stood on the couch.  :)

The Hugger

The Hugger!  aka McAlvain.

As we were walking out of the Royals practice fields I saw this man walking in.  He was wearing a shirt from my hometown and I said something about it.  He asked me where I was from and I told him the same place.  He had to ask who I was, who my parents were, etc and I had to ask if he was Brad & Brian's Dad.  He was.  So as we were walking off I told him I would see him later and he said, "Well, I'll give ya a hug!"  And he did.  McD and the rest of the gang just laughed and ribbed me about it for the rest of the day.  It was funny because everywhere we looked, there he was.  He was there with the baseball team from the college in my old hometown.  The team always goes to Phoenix to play in a tournament and then goes to see Z (or Zero) before they leave.  We just happened to see them there. 

This looks like fun to me, except you can't really see the game from there.  I guess it looks nice now because the seats were so cotton-pickin hot!  But we sat there and after a while we didn't notice anymore.  But the lawn sure looked comfy.  The grass was just awesome.  We hadn't seen green grass in a long time, it was beautiful.  Then we got home and everything was green!  YEAH!

I did enjoy the games, that is why there aren't many photos.  Oh well!  I figured out how to use the video portion of my spy camera, but I can't figure out how to get them on here.  So if you have any ideas, please let me know.  Thanks!

Hats

Hat #1 - the red one there with rhinestones. 

Hats #2 & #3:  The couple there with their cap and sunvisor sideways.  They were protecting their faces from the sun.  Really.  But they could have just got hats like the lady behind them.  :)

A great way to keep a hat on is too use a barrette.  When going to a baseball game it is always best to wear a barrette that coincides with your teams colors.  :)  She was a Rangers fan.  But lookie here, see the sunhat with the green ribbon on it?  That is a man wearing that hat.  I think he is confused.  I like the way the ribbon comes down next to his face so he can tie it under his chin. 

And now, The Donald look-alike.  He is there in the right corner with the black glasses.  He was fast, everytime he would turn so I could get a photo of his face, he would turn.  He was married to an asian lady who never sat in her seat.  She was up and down and up and down.  Oh she was annoying!  But if she is married to the second Donald, I guess she can be.

The hugger will be revealed tomorrow.

I Spy

Before (early afternoon):

I don't know if you can click it to big it here or not, but can you see the guys all in a row without their shirts?
Well, some of them wised up and put their shirts on, one wasn't so wise.  In the first photo there is also "The Hugger."  If you click it to big it, see if you can pick out the man that wanted to and did hug me. 

Then the infamous BeerMan was there in all his glory.  An interesting or useless fact about our visit to the ball park was that when they give you a beer it is in a plastic bottle and they take the lid off for you and keep it.  Yep, they keep your lids.  Even if you order a water, they take your lid.  It was strange.

Then there was the Donald Trump look alike, but he and the various hats will be tomorrow.

The Rudest Woman in Oklahoma

This is the rudest woman in Oklahoma.  Look closely at her, if you encounter this woman tell her just how rude she is.  She looks possessed even in this photo, look at her eye.  Yikes! 

Let me explain.

Saturday evening we went to support Slick at one of his functions.  He is the Vice President of an organization that supports the county FFA Stock Show/Premium Sale.  There were over 200 people there, it was a really nice turn out.  As soon as we got there we found Slick's wife and kids sitting at one of the tables.  We sat down with them and waited to get in line for food.  The line wrapped around the biggest part of the room, it was crazy.  People were more worried about getting food than finding a seat.  So we just waited patiently.  Really, we were kind of afraid to get up because we were afraid we would lose our seats.  Finally we decided we would put our seats up against the table showing that they were taken.  Like so:

Now we had to reenact the chair scene.   But everything else was taken with the Spy Cam. 

Keep in mind that we had been waiting patiently for the line to dwindle down.  I had been reading books to Slick's daughter and they were sitting right in front of her chair.  There were coats left on a couple of the chairs and the diaper bag was under one of the chairs.  The chairs were taken, it was obvious they were taken. 

The very large and rude woman and her large son proceeded to move the kids' books, set the chairs down and sit down in them.  I was standing in line when I saw it happen and immediately went to her side.  I tried to be very polite and tell her that the seats were taken.  She said, "Well, there isn't anywhere else to sit."   I said, "I am sorry, but we are sitting here, and have left our chairs up so people would know that.  We even left our belongs there."  The bitty said, "Everyone is doing it and we only did it because there isn't anywhere else to sit."  I tried to be polite.  I tried to be nice.  But I can only be pushed so far.  Being polite and stern all at the same time, I said to her, "No, it is because you are so rude!"  I wanted to lift the chair her lard-arse was sitting in.  I wanted to watch her squirm on the floor and maybe even hear her say, "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up."  And then walk away from her.  I had a lot of anger flowing through me that night. 

But you want to know what made it all better?  Knowing that I had my spy cam and I could take a photo of her and plaster it on the internet.  She is the rudest woman in Oklahoma and I wanted you all to know.  Now I feel better! 

Here she is again. 

Just looking at her makes my skin crawl and my blood boil.  Thank goodness I have my blog-therapy!
