Women of Huckleberries would make a great calendar, Dave.

I’m ready for my close up!
I also happen to know of a new photography studio in Spirit Lake where the calendar girl photos could be taken.

I know a new photography studio and she would love to take the photos and I would be willing to help put the calendar together with her and then we could sell them- and have another great party with all the girls on the calendar..and the guys that buy them from the blog land….I am in if you are Taryn….

JQC, I thought I recognized you!!! With that avatar, most guys will.

What do you think Dave? I’d donate my services.
We could do a huckleberry theme even.
All dressed in purple.
Or maybe something with strategically placed huckleberry bushes.

Taryn: I felt bad saying something about you being a beautiful young woman that reminds me of my daughter. I apologize for that. Not my place to comment on your beauty. My daughter is such a beautiful young woman that sometimes makes me want to cry. That was all, nothing more. I still look forward to a visit from you someday, A pleasure of course.

MamaJd: You are my favorite blogger of all time. I never want to slight you, as that is not my place. I want to come to your son’s games of course, let me know. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, enough said there. I look forward to seeing you and your family again. A pleasure of course.
MamaJD on March 02 at 7:51 p.m.
Stickman - I feel the same about you. I will try to make it by for a visit sometime soon. I am itching to get out on the Hill now that I know the trail will allow it.

Taryn, that is GREAT idea!

Stickman, you could put it on a billboard if you liked :) Thanks for your kind words. I’m looking forward to a visit with the kids once the weather turns.
