I've been Tagged!

by my best friend Cindy
Here are the rules...
1. Post the rules on your blog
2. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself
3. Tage 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs
4. Let each person know that they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I Rodeoed growing up...iv'e goat tyed, barrell raced, roped, rode calves (bulls), and pole bended. Growing up on the Thomas Farm I'ved help castrat bulls...so you guys better watch out. Yes...I have had mountain oysters. Fixed fencees, tagged cattle. Also, won the local fairs FAT CALF by raising and showing the best calf.
2. I grew up in Central Arkansas without central heat or air. We had a woodburning stove in the middle of the living room that we cut wood for to heat the house. We had an attic fan to cool the house.
3. I made commercials for Silver Dollar City when I was 7.
4. When I was in 11th grade...I was in an exchange program with other girl scouts/girls guides and spent the summer in London. We got to see the Queen...it was awesome.
5. The first car that I bought on my own was a pink Isuzu Amigo that I special ordered.I have drove MONSTER TRUCKS with BIG 44" tall tires and helped put lifts on them...use to race them in mud bogs. I use to love to go mudding in trucks and on 4 wheelers. My Dad taught me a lot about working on cars.
6. I was on a deer stand when I was a few months old with my mom. I have hunted deer, squirrel, rabbit and anything else that moved when I was growing up.
7. I'm a small town country girl. I lived the first 3 years of my life in Warren, AR...which was the tomato capital of the world back then. They still are a big producer of tomatoes...they have the pink tomato festival. There was no major interstates or highways to get there...lots of driving on levees. BUT...if you are a big football fan you know they produce some of the best football players. Go Lumber Jacks. Just a few facts...Warren's population now is about 6000, median income $23,000 and median house cost $56,000. Most of my family still live their some in even a smaller towns Wilmar population 559.Wow!
Who am I tagging? Ray, Yael, Sloan, I can't think of any more that haven't been tagged or that has a blog. Sorry!
