Kitty Meow Meow is a Murderer

This past weekend I was home alone, with just KMM to keep me company. And since I had a fantastic headache for a few days, sitting at home was a very nice plan. Nice, that is, until KMM decided to bring in a friend from the back yard:



I kept telling him to pick up the thing and get it outside, and KMM pretended not to understand English. What an a-hole.

I don't mind that he's murdering rats. I do mind when I have to get the tongs out of the kitchen and use them to do dead rat removal. (DRM) But now that it's spring, the baby rabbits are starting to get out and about. Last night I heard a commotion on the back porch, and this is what I found out there with KMM:



So I started up my organization that was originally established two years ago. It's called Baby Rabbit Relocation. (BRR) I took baby rabbit across the street to the empty lot that has plenty of big bushes for him to take shelter under.
But I think one of his siblings wasn't so lucky. I found a tiny white puffy tail and some guts on the back porch this morning. Bad Kitty.

John Munger in Havasu



John Munger is one of the many candidates we have for Governor in Arizona. He's also one of the most accomplished. I met him a couple of years ago and I knew right away from what we talked about that he was headed for something big. He's got some ideas on how to fix our economy, and none of his ideas involve more taxes or more government projects. He thinks job creating programs should be from private industry. I couldn't agree more.
He also has big ideas on how to change our current school system. He has served some time on the Board of Regents, who are all about education in our state. So his ideas come from his experience, not from a displeasure about how things are done currently.

But then John was upstaged during his appearance because OH MY GAWD Sarah Palin came in!! Actually it was Shawna Palin. She's a little shorter than Sarah:





And she makes WAAAAY less money than Sarah.

Another Governor candidate, Buz Mills, appeared on Monday in Havasu. He is a multi millionaire who is self funding his campaign (only two candidates for Governor are self funding their campaigns--John and Buz)
Buz was kind of quiet but I know many people were glad to get to hear him speak because everyone I have spoken to says they know nothing about him. I told him this. "Buz, people have seen your commercials but they want to know more about you."

Shawna Palin took a photo with him also:



Of course I let our newspaper know way ahead of time that these candidates would be on hand, and our newspaper didn't show up. Even after I emailed again, and again. And then called them a couple of times.

I can't do EVERYTHING!

Black Eyed Pea

This is NOT a good look for me:



You've seen the gag in movies and on t.v. where a person opens their closet door and everything inside comes falling down on them. Yeah, that sort of happened to me. I was rearranging a couple of things in the closet. The shoe cubby that I have in there had a pair of very HEAVY shoes on the top, and they came down on top of my head. And onto the right side of my face.

Concealer? No, I don't have concealer. And I refuse to buy some because I know this bruise will heal. But it sure does seem to be getting darker every day....

Uh oh, I feel a campaign ad coming on.....

"Hey Lake Havasu, politics are brutal! But I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!!"

90210

Steve's at a car show at Graystone Mansion today, which is located in the heart of Beverly Hills. When he went to put the address of the Mansion in his GPS thing, he had to laugh when he saw the zip code, "90210."
He had to transport two of his boss's cars to this event, with a big semi truck.

In honor of Steve's journey today, I am wearing my Beverly Hills 90210 earrings. For some reason, I saved them from 1991. They're heart-shaped with a picture of Brandon, Brenda, Dillon, Kelly, Donna, and Steve. Very eye catching.

Apples, Potatoes, and Corn...OH MY!





The first Market day featuring our produce booth was a huge success! We sold just about everything, and of course it was fun on top of all that profit. EXCELLENT!
It's really neat, trying out something new like that and figuring out how to improve upon it.
Thursdays, Main Street!!
