Bartlesville Oklahoma Buffalo Fundraiser Project



The Bartlesville Girls Scouts of America adopted a fund raising project to raise funds for the Mary Martha Mission here in our town. There have been several area artists basically donating their time to paint these buffalo and place them around town. Oh, when I heard about it I was overjoyed because I have always loved a good art project. 



One of my best friends, Carolyn Mock was asked to paint a buffalo to be placed at Woolaroc Museum.
Carolyn labored long and hard for many
many weeks on this beauty.  She took
it's design into consideration and deliberated
on how to make the museum and the sponsors
proud of it....





 She decided on the White Buffalo
that is a scared symbol to the Native American Indians. 


Carolyn did a very beautiful job and the blanket on the buffalo is a painting of the mosaic around the doors to the Woolaroc museum.



Then this one is celebrating the much celebrated Price Tower in Bartlesville



It is the only skyscraper ever designed by 
Frank Lloyd Wright that was built.






This one is in honor of the musical play
OKLAHOMA





This buffalo celebrates the airplane the Woolaroc that won
the Dole race in the 1920's  that resides inside the Woolaroc Museum 














This buffalo is pretty self explainatory, we are proud of our country and all it stands for here in Bartlesville as well as our state of Oklahoma.











This bison is celebrating our great plains and the bison that roamed the prairies here years ago,
and honoring the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve west of Pawhuska where the buffalo once again roam thanks to their
efforts to preserve a portion of the TallGrass.




and then we have this one....

call me a fuddie duddie,


call me a prude,


call me a consertive,

whatever you call me.....








 my comment is exactly


as my

Grandpa 
would say....


What the Sam Hill were they thinkin'!

The Ups and Downs of Life

Did I ever say that I think deer whistles work????




                   All men I know laugh at me and tell me I am nuts................well maybe I am.





                      But last week hubby had a deer jump in front of him on the interstate going 75....








the good news is he was not hurt.  Truck hurt a little and the deer did not make it.



So do you think deer whistles work?







Then this week Zoe suddenly started to not feel too good.
I took her to the vet to see what they were going to 
say....                                                                                              


Well they checked her for diabetes like they always do because her full sister Chloe had it along with Cushing Syndrome......


Her sugar has always been good before but this past week it was over 650!  So now she is on insulin shots.
I am pretty traumatized by that turn of events.  She is my mom's dog but she is like mine too.  She is the one who never left me when I was in so much pain during this illness I just got over.  She was always there for me, she is such a dear girl.



The excitingly good news is I got the new front doors stained and varnished!  I was so stressed out because they had been waiting in the garage for me to feel good enough to do the job and finally I was up to standing up on the concrete long enough and the weather held out for me too!  The contractor came and hung them.  I think they look great and I am so glad to be done with the old ugly ones I had for the entire 17 years we have lived here.  




 















Why did we wait so long with those ugly doors??????

Oh, WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO?









I have been just laying around all depressed because I don't have anything new to wear....








I kept telling my Mommy that I needed a new collar to make me look and feel extra special....

I am not spoiled, I just need something new to wear, so I feel pretty,
don't you understand?



I know you say you are looking for just the right one, and you tell me you can't find it...

I think I have heard that story before.....





PLEASE, please.....pretty please!!!!!


The squirrels are making fun of me when I am out in the yard chasing them.

They said I am a nobody because I just have a plain red collar....

That darn squirrel last week made fun of me so badly!
I just had to put a hurtin' on him!

It wasn't my fault, he just got me mad......


I won't do it again, I promise!



Pleassssssse Mommie!





I hear Dad coming in from the Post Office, hey, he is carrying a box!

Oh darn, he says it is for Mom.....
that figures doesn't it?

She always gets stuff, but I never get any stuff I want....
grrrrrrr.....




I just wish for once someone would think of me for a change!


I get no respect around this place......










YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!!!!

look at me!!!!!!!!!


look at my neck,

I have a new collar!!!!!





Mom's box was from TrainWreck
and she sent me a new collar just like I have always wanted
!




Aren't I just stunning?

Come on you know I am!!!!!


Boy, those squirrels are gonna get an eye full tomorrow!






NaNaNaNa!!!!!!
Mom, I have someone who thinks I am special enough
to go shopping for!

Oh, I am so lucky to have her for my people sister!!!!

TrainWreck loves me enough to go to the ends of the
Earth for little ol' me!


Thanks, TrainWreck for making her ever more of a terror than she already is!


hahahahaha...you are the best!
