Redneck to the Bone!

Feels just like being there!! I can hear the auctioneer calling!! Did you take home anything good? Come on now ~ show some photos ~ wanta see what ya got!!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to go to the auction some time, but its seem I alway have the grands or doing something else, We have beem talking about going to the court house to hear the music, but we haven't got there either, maybe sometime we will. It is just a busy time, and don't always get to do what you would like to do, just do what we can do. HAVE A GREAT DAY!
