So really the day ended as most days do..spitting headache..tired body..tired spirit..ya know a typical shitty day.. the clock struck 5:00 and 15 mins later I was sprung for the night. My head was focused on a grocery list..what do I need..what will we have for supper..how many days do we have in town..what day is it..do we really need to go to the grocery store..blah blah.. jay and I jump in the pickup and head to the grocery store. I am waiting to turn onto the street. Rubbing what little makeup I had left on my face off. I glance up and low and behold what do my blood shot eyes see?? That would be Captain America walking down the street in complete costume, his star shield, a big ole back back and somehow positioned on his back the American Flag..I looked at Jay, “well today can’t be all bad Captain America is walking the streets of Lusk”..she grabs her phone to film the event.. sure enough..he is even posing for people that give a gander his way..we both just laughed..off to get groceries..we are telling everyone about our siting..everyone is in disbelief..we leave the grocery store and jay says “ok, let’s go find him one more time”. I tell her “ok, I want my picture taken with him”! She freaks out..”oh no, you will not get your picture with him”. I told her she didn’t know me very well. Away we go to the north side of town..nothing..off to the southern end and wahlah..there he is on a street corner posing for passer bys. I get into the other lane and jay jumps in the back of the pickup yelling “I can’t believe you are going to embarrass me like this, I will not take your picture”. I smile at Captain and drive home..at least I made her sweat 💦..lol… 😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸 I will tell you this he looks a lot different in person…🤔🤔🤣🤣

Back to town..
There has been a slow burn in all of our bellies this afternoon…we were are dreading the trip back to town for the week.. ah it was so nice to be home for a few days..so it was not a shock when there was a lot of silence on the drive.. the clouds and light were the coolest colors. I stopped a few times so the ‘photographer’ of the family could snap a few shots. By the time we got to the highway it was the shitty time of day.. not really dark, but not really light..just shitty driving light..eyes were peeled for deer and whacko drivers. About half way to town we come upon a car going about 50 miles an hour..Suddenly they pulled off the road… Jay says “well they are obviously running drugs”…we all agreed and went on down the road..pretty soon we come across a car with it’s flashers on on the side of the road. I slow down and get in the other lane to pass..Jay says “wow, another drug deal”..we giggle and go on down the road.. about a half mile down the road I am driving along and all of a sudden a human appears along the side of the road walking down the highway. I about shit myself. I stared down the road and said, “that sum bitch is walking down the highway obviously to town. I have no clue how we did not hit him. Geezus H..that scared the shit out of me”.. Jay was like “you?? I looked up and all I saw was a face”.. we kept on going and when we got cell service I called dispatch and told them of the hiker and they said they would send a deputy out.. whew..holy cow.. now that is a way to get the heart going for the week.. Chad would have taken my license for sure..fender one weekend and a person the next.. omg..😳😳😳😲😲

Just to be home..
Oh to be home… what started off as a fun trip home.. sucked..stay put…I had myself all worked up about the hwy north..I usually worry more about the other yahoos on the road..so we can take a dirt road all the way home..I told the kids let’s take that road home..away we go..snowing right along..we get to the end of that road jump across the highway to the other dirt road.. it is dark now..away we go..I am going about 30 -35 mph..I drive down into a draw, come up the top and there is an auto gate on top, I try to turn and I just slid right into the auto gate..busted my rear fender off..wyatt jumps out and gathers the pieces and we throw them in the back.. I say some choice words and away we go..I put it back into 4×4..away we go all a little freaked out from the accident and then I look around.. I say “where in the hell are we?” The kids are quiet.. again choice words fly from my mouth.. start back tracking..find the road we should have turned on..away we go..we start to go around a hill..snow flies up over the hood and covers the window..can’t see a thing..I reluctantly slow and I can feel the jeep sink..more profound words come out..I opened my door to survey my situation..I pushed snow when I open the door.. wyatt and I start digging..then I told him to get in..this is a jeep right? 4 low, 1,2,3.. boom we are out..continue on..now before anyone asks “why the hell did you go?” I will say this to my defense.. “I have NO ever mother loving idea”…when we hit the ranch auto gate I told the kids “holy shit, when I get home I am going to have a drink”. Wyatt says “when I get home, I am going to help unload the jeep, start a fire downstairs and have some whiskey”. Jay says “I wonder what crown and hot cocoa tastes like?” I glanced at her, “I would assume like shit..but at this stage of the game what the hell give it a whirl”… O M G.. WTH??? Home safe and sound and my guardian angel is ordering shots..😳😳😇🤔
Bring your pet to town day????
Trip to rapid was ummmm…interesting..we roll into town and see a naked dude in the cat tails behind running..us ‘country kids’ make a loop to verify such findings..thankfully he had a coat on by the time we came back around..we go to Cabellas.. some guy has a big ass Doberman that he is shopping with.. we all were like wow.. then walk to the other side of the store, there is a German Shorthair walking around with their owner.. again we are like wow.. off to Scheels..a girl is packing around the cutest 8 week old silver lab..for sale she says.. I relented..but it was cute.. and then boom here is the Doberman dude again.. I look at jay..that is crazy..boys and girls split up.. jay an I just started strolling down all the stores. We end up in Micheals.the good ole craft store.. we are in line waiting to be checked out. I glance around at people and this dude catches my eye.. I was trying to figure out what he had wrapped around his neck. It looked like a black rope..about then the ‘rope’ slithered over his shoulder.. I looked at jay and said “that guy over there has a live snake wrapped around his neck”. Her mouth fell open and fumbled for her phone to capture the moment.. then I looked at the chick beside him. She had a damn lizard on her chest..WTH is up with that shit?? I looked at jay and said “I almost kind feel bad we missed bring your pet to town day, poor Sydney”..lol.. 🐶🐍🦎🤔🤔
