Dolly Parton's Stampede

     It was an excellent gift to be able to go see the Christmas show at Dolly's Stampede. I think I will forever call it Dixie Stampede. My husband and I made the two hour trip over the mountain to go see the day show and let me tell you it was amazing. The price was a little ridiculous and the food was mediocre, but the show was phenomenal! 

    The overall experience is well worth the drive. Standing in the cold to enter the building with a toddler was not. She loved the horses and the animated toys that days around the arena. I personally enjoyed the ice skating scent, as well as, the arial show. I would have come to watch the show and not eat. It was that good! Everything is kid friendly and there was even a chair for mother's who are breast feeding. The staff was overall friendly and helped guide me to a restroom that had a chaining table.

    I wish I would have taken some pictures to share with you all, but I was holding my toddler in my lap and trying to eat and avoid her throwing food on the people below us. Honestly, they could have kicked us out for her behavior and I would't have said anything. She was so unruly and I could not distract her. We got up and walked to the restroom several times to get the energy out. She doesn't do well with sitting in one place for too long.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
