2nd place...Not too Shabby

Here is the contest...

Back in July, because my friends encouraged me, I won some cash money for shucking corn. woohoo! Well Regional Finals were last night. I didn't win, but I came in close second. It started out with six finalists from previous competitions. First round of elimination, corn shucking. Still in but just barely. Second round, "cow patty" toss, I still can't believe I passed through that one. Third round, Watermelon seed spitting contest. I passed this one, we were now down to the final three. I would like to thank my father for teaching me and all of us girls how to spit. Fourth and final round, Diaper two baby dolls, hang up three pieces of clothing on the clothes line two clothes pins each, and shuck two more ears of corn.

They said go, I hurried as fast as I could, but those dang velcro tabs were on there good and tight, it didn't really help that my hands were shaking like crazy either. One of the baby dolls was a little on the chubby side for premie diapers....oh well. Last one up from diapers I raced down to the other end for laundry duty. This is where I picked up a little of that lost time, but not enough! One other girl and I made it to the ears of corn, but danged if I didn't pick the wrong basket! I barely opened one ear when she finished. Whoa baby! Since it was only the regional finals the winner gets to fly to Nashville, TN for the real finals. Since I can't really take any more time off of work...I settle for this memento. Cowboy Troy & Me....crazy
