Before I begin to get all “BAM!” because it’s FINALLY Friday, I want to first include one little “did you know…” tip for BLOGGERS. So here goes…
Did you know that if you edit a post and republish it — everyone that subscribes to your content (either by email or through an RSS reader) are delivered your post again? Sometimes, after you republish, you might find a typo or something else you want to change. So you “fix” your old post more than once. And what happens? Your poor subscribers get that same post again… and again. It’s worse than the time loop in the movie Groundhog Day!
Now on to what’s really important!
It’s Friday, y’all. I have no clue what that means to you… but to me it means I get to see my favorite people on the planet (most of them anyway), really darned soon! I started the day off right, so I know I’ll be ready for the weekend!
Sugar in the raw is about as healthy as it gets around here. Unless you count peanut butter.

I don’t have time for yesterday. Today is much too exciting, and there’s a ton of new things to do and dream!
Go out and make this day incredible…

I want to make sure you make it through this middle-of-the-week day. I know it’s been pretty rough so far, so I’ve got a couple things for you!
first, a FEBRUARY photo…
Forecast predicts snow today. Very funny, mother nature!
…and a share — a site I visit daily because it ALWAYS brings a smile…
ANIMALS TALKING IN ALL CAPS
…and a gander at the most incredible dog on the planet.
(Because seeing her always makes me happy — and I hope checking out her deadly prowl pumps your attitude!)
and finally… a link to view/download the “Be Distinct” quarterly magazine with Scott McKain.

Some days the phone rings early, you argue with your kid(s), everyone wants something (yesterday) and you can’t really get anything to flow the way you want it to. Those customarily happen to us on Monday. So… happy Tuesday y’all!
Have a BIG cup of coffee, even if a little one would do just fine. Thank me later.

I know, I know. It’s just a barn. But it’s what I see when I stop working and look out the office window…
This old barn’s ownership is no longer in my family, but I sure remember when it was. Purchased when I was a kid (a very, very long time ago) it was part of the old “Hougland” plot. I don’t remember exactly how many acres came with that particular piece of ground, but I do remember there was an old dilapidated house that was the most incredible place ever for a little girl to play.
The barn wasn’t in great shape then either, and at the time, we had horses and cows so it wasn’t long until heated watering troughs were installed. This old barn is where I learned that when mice are born they are pink and really cute. And, I learned they were the enemy of my grandfather. Obviously. This old barn had new flooring in the loft shortly after its purchase too… I remember walking up there stepping from beam to beam. I’m lucky to be alive! I remember my Dad banding calves there, and Carl neutering cats there too. And Mom? She contributed for sure — naming our horses after a democratic presidential family. Seriously, we had Linda Bird Johnson, Lady Bird Johnson, etc. And Calico — the horse who gave birth to Ajax.
A year in the life of a barn — what other office has this kind of view?
spring
summer
fall
winter
