Sing Susan Sing

I do realize that everyone in the world has probably seen the video of the poor spinster, Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent, but I just have to post it and talk about it. This brought me to tears! I don't know why, I mean she does have a beautiful voice, but it was something else that brought me to tears. I think the fact that a simple woman, who has never been kissed and

devoted her entire adult life to taking care of her parents finally got to show the world what she has. It makes you realize that God doesn't care about where you live or what you look like. He doesn't care about how smart you are or how good you dress. He gives special talents to all types of people. This lady uses her talent for the Lord also, the article I read said she is a devout Roman Catholic and sings in Church Choir. It makes me wonder, How many other people out there are hiding something so great just because people won't accept them for their looks or smarts? She seemed like a person who has such a good heart. Her neighbors all loved her, the local karaoke bar all loved her, and she was so excited to show everyone what she could do. I got tickled that one of her younger neighbors was excited for her but couldn't understand why she didn't fix her hair better. Who cares with talent like that!? I was just so moved by her performance, it was flawless and beautiful. It was like listening to innocence and purity.

"I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed..."

I hope her dream is now restored!! Ok on to real life...

I spent this weekend in my home town with my parents. I took both the dogs and they had a blast. I on the other hand had less than a blast cleaning up the messes they made and trying to keep them out of the barn during the Horse show dad had on Saturday. Here are the puppies in the back seat. This is before we left, they slept the rest of the way so they were nice and wild when we got to my parents'.

Banjo really enjoyed hanging his head out of the window on the ride back home. And yes that is his lip flying in the wind in picture two.

Saturday Erin & Kinley were in town. I got to play with Kinley all evening and she was in the best mood. She is a precious little thing!

Kinley fell asleep just like that in Dad's lap. I think she enjoyed relaxing.

She how chubby her little cheeks are?! She's just precious. Notice my hair color. Not much different than it was. I was going to go really light then chickened out. Oh well maybe next time.

Kinley enjoyed grabbing my cheeks and my nose and my hair. She laughed the whole night!

Yesterday was a pretty day. Me and the chocolates went for a little 4-wheeler ride. I had to go really slow so Birdie could keep up. We drove down to the little pond in the pasture and let Banjo play in the water. Birdie played a little but isn't quite ready to swim yet. I swear she's grown an inch over the weekend! I took some pictures along the way of the longhorns and this years calves and some of my favorite weeds. The entire Circle T is covered in these yellow things. I had my wedding portraits made in the middle of the pasture surrounded in the yellow weeds last year around this time.
