Spoken Like Grandpa Warren

I'm vegging today... taking a mental holiday from the real world (as if I've been living in the real world at all lately, but that's another post)... flipping channels I stumbled across a classic Doris Day movie and it reminded me of my stepdad's father who lived with my parents a few years ago. He wasn't very fond of sheep. Not very many men in this part of the country are. This is cattle country doncha know. So of course I nearly spit out my Mt. Dew when Peter Graves character, Jason, proclaims: "You know, it takes money, capital, brains and sweat to raise cattle, but any idiot with a two-bit dog and a Winchester can raise sheep."

This movie is making me giggle like crazy... especially since its premise is that it takes place in Wyoming... "yeah to the first woman sheepherder in Wyoming" - lol... maybe this movie is reminding me more of my own mother... it would be like her to do what Doris Day's character, Josie, did... and with all the passion and fervor she showed doing it!

But you'll have to watch it to find out :)

*This was 2008's fair project*
