I wonder, is there a way to renovate with ease?! Someone, please tell me that there is! If there were commercials in life and all “bad experience” renovations could be scripted out, I could establish and complete my flip in an hour too!

The Moose Mountain Rodeo is in the books for another year. Attendance was a little light on Saturday; maybe some folks were smart and knew how wet it was going to get at the end of the rodeo. The stands looked full Sunday.

It’s kinda funny, really, when I open my eyes in the morning and still can’t believe what I am doing on a day to day basis. Most people have a dream. I had a dream all thanks to my best friend, my Grandpa.

Our local boys continue to do well on the CCA circuit. As of July 6th Ty Taypotat was fourth in bareback, Jarid Berglund was fifth in calf roping and Teagan Hodgson was fourteenth in bull riding. This past weekend they improved on their standings. Taypotat made the finals in the novice bareback at Calgary and in the finals he finished fourth with a 72.5 and a 65.5 for 138 points. Cody Floyd was second at Wood Mountain in the junior bullriding with a 69.Jarid Berglund picked up cheques at all three rodeos with a 9.8 at Wood Mountain good for fifth, and a 11.7 at Selkirk for third in the tie down roping and a 12.5 good for fifth in the steer wrestling at Gilbert Plains. Jesse Lawrence scored 63 at Selkirk on Full Throttle for fourth in the bull riding. Only four guys stuck their bulls at Selkirk so Prime Time’s bulls must have been firing pretty good. Teagen Hodgson bucked off both his bulls at the PBR at Manor. In spite of rain Manor had an excellent bullriding. It was won by Zane Lambert and I hear Luke Ellingson made a good ride and then was knocked out.

The blond hair, blue-eyed young woman hangs out with guys all day long, constantly proving that women can indeed do anything they wish.
