Coming up for Air

Hello Stranger. I am alive and well, and am between parties at my house. Last weekend was the 5th Annual Roadkill Chili Cookoff, where I won 2nd place among 15 entries. Yee haw!

This husband and wife competed against each other and he, who places 1st or 2nd every year, placed 1st, while his wife took 3rd. It was a fun party with some really good chili!
Mindy takes 2nd place!
I imagine you'll hear more later, after David gets his pictures up. Here are the pictures I took of our day.

We were entertained by the vocal talents of Brittnee Lee. Click here and order your cd now. This young lady is going places!

I know, you are starving for junk, aren't you? Click here to see a few things I've picked up lately.

These lockers were sold before I even offloaded them. Aren't they a fun color?

And now, I am busy getting my home ready for the Clothes Swap. So far, we have 9 ladies coming and a couple have donated clothes, but can't come. I think this is going to be a fun adventure!

I hope all is well with you. Catch you later, alligator!

  4. Looks like some pretty great clothes. The lockers are awesome and congrats on the chili cook-off!!! Is it a top-secret recipe? I guess it should be since you have this contest going on. You have a year to tweak it, so you can win first. ;-)

    Glad you're having fun!

  8. MALisa, y'all are invited out any time!

    Janet, living in the country has its advantages. More roadkill variety!

    Pam, it was a blast!

    FringeGirl, the recipe is top secret. I need to tweak it though to beat Mr. 1st place!

    Debbie, breath whenever you can. Whew! I got wind of your show coming up. Can't wait to see what magic y'all come up with!

    Anne, if it were a one time contest, I might consider doing that. But, it's an anuual contest! I can't give my recipe away!

    Robelyn, I'd offer you some chili, but, after 4 days of eating it, I'm almost out. See you Saturday!

    As for the lockers, talk to Miss red.neck Chic herself. She scored, didn't she? ~Mindy
