(Notice the elephant is on the truck, not a trailer... hmmm....)
Anyway, if Kyle is being serious (always a gamble) he said he had talked to the guy, company name Flashback, and he makes them. That is all Kyle said. So.... I guess Mr. Flashback either doesn't have room to store it now that he made it, or he is spending all of his advertising budget on gasoline to drive around town. Now, Kyle said he makes "them". Do you honestly think there is a big market for almost-life-size elephants here in Abilene? What does Mrs. Flashback say about this? Still more mystery.
Y'all, I have to tell you -- My little Nike-mini gal that I posted on my blog is CRACKING me up. Sometimes she's doing the 'walking man'. Sometimes she's running hurdles. What cracks me up the most is when she says "I could run this with my eyes closed" because we all KNOW that I can barely run with my eyes open!
Tonight was basketball. The gym felt nice and cozy warm when I walked in from outside, but after sitting there for about 10 minutes, it was too warm to hardly stay awake! Add to that, the very young little referee positioned himself precisely where I could see NOTHING that happened in the southeast fourth of the court, which was probably only about 33% of the game! At one point, there was a tremendous crash (from that corner), the entire crowd that COULD see gave a collective, "Oooooooh..." So, I realized, "Well, someone fell REALLY hard." The gym is still completely silent at this point. I'm craning and stretching and looking around ref's rear to realize, "Oh, hey, that was my baby girl that just crashed into the gym floor." By the time I realized that she was on her feet and taking off, but I still don't know what happened. It's probably best. I do know that she landed on elbows and knees, instead of her head like the lady in front of me told me. That's gonna leave a mark.
And, tomorrow is Friday. A fairly calm weekend in store for us -- our only one this month. Anyone doing anything fun? I think I'm going elephant hunting.

My son Parker, who is a junior, is playing varsity basketball. And my 13 year old son Connor is playing 7th grade basketball. So currently 3 nights of our life a week go towards basketball somewhere with in a 140 mile radius.
Thanksfully we've had no hard crashes, but whe have had a scrapes and bruises.
Love the elephant. Can't afford a new one, I'm sure, so let me know when you put yours in the garage sale.
Saw your post too late for weekend activity suggestions, but don't forget about the Robert Burns Supper on Saturday, January 31st! Bagpipes (Abilene Pipers), haggis & other Scottish culinary "delights," Robert Burns poetry, & men in kilts...what more could a girl want? (Call the library at Madison if you want more info!)
