SCAVENGER HUNT DRAWING



First of all Mom and I thank all who participated in our Scavenger Hunt.  We had fun creating it and hope you had fun playing.

BREAKING NEWS
We had NOT 1 but 3 benefactors who donated
a total $30.00 to Benny's GoFund.
SO MOM divided the number of 
extra tickets into the number of participants.
Mom added 3 eligible names for the drawing to everyone's total.

LOOK AT ALL THE NAMES IN THE BAG
 MOM WAS UNDER THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT I WOULD WALK RIGHT IN THAT BAG AND PULL OUT A NAME
SILLY, SILLY WOMAN
 I WAS RUDELY AWAKENED FROM
MY AFTERNOON NAP BY MOM SO
SHE GETS NO FAVORS

I WAS NOT IN THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED IN BEING A CAT IN A BAG



BUT I DID GIVE THE HANDLES A 
SNIFF

 THANK GOODNESS DAD AGREED
TO BE MY UNDERSTUDY
HE STUCK HIS LONG ARM WAY DOWN
AND MOM SAID MIX'EM UP


DRUM ROLL

CONGRATULATIONS 
SARGE.  
PLEASE ASK THE HANDS
IF YOUR P.O. BOX
NUMBER FROM THE CHRISTMAS
CARD EXCHANGE IS THE ADDRESS WE SHOULD USE OR  IF THE HANDS WANT
IT MAILED TO ANOTHER ADDRESS,
PLEASE SEND US AN EMAIL SO WE CAN MAIL YOUR SCARF.
NOTE:
I did not go in that bag because upon completion of my automatic calculations of its size, I determined it was not deep enough nor wide enough for a Uturn.

This Moment, {See Beautiful} with a slight twist

This was my reaction when Mom told me 
she didn't by any Fancy Feast.  It has absolutely nothing to do with the story.  Evidently my expression was exactly what she felt.


This is a picture of my grandpeep's garage
Now for the rest of the story. 
take it away MOM
On July 3, 2013, I went over to check on a few things at their house (this is a reenactment staged on July 8, 2013 I did not have my camera with me.)  On the day in questioned there were black ominous clouds lurking over the house so I decided to 
use my remote to go in on the right side.

 Remember reenactment.. 
I pulled in on the right side closed the garage door
and went about my business. 
THEN
When I pressed the remote to leave the door only went up 3/4 of the way.  I tried the opener in the garage wall...motor groaned. Kaput. 
I WAS STUCK IN THE GARAGE

I tried to push the door up manually but it would not budge...the panel was bent.  As you can see it is a double garage.  Thank goodness I have a small car...it took me nearly 15 min of *pulling forward, backing up* repeat* to angle the CR-V to the vacant side.  
Did I mentioned it was HOT AS HADES IN THAT GARAGE TOO. 
 I finally got the car straight enough to back it out.
BUT since the motor would not stop groaning
I decided I better unplug it.  I found a ladder in my Daddy's 
workshop.  


Then I had to figure out what to do about the crippled
right garage door that was still 3/4 of the way up.  Thankfully I was able to manually pull it down.  THEN I, appropriately wedged
Crutches on both sides of the track to just to be sure no one could open it.  The repairman came on July 9.

 Needless to say seeing my car at the bottom of the driveway
was indeed 
This Moment, See Beautiful

 I was rather proud of my accomplishments
I might be older than dirt
BUT
 I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR I GOT MYSELF OUT
