Feeding the weekend with fun! (for free)

In between pay periods, a little low on the dough?  I got a great place to unwind and it won't cost you a thing.  Well, unless you want to bring some bread with you... It's the Duck Pond Park on East Kings in Shreveport.

This is exactly what we did this Sunday.  We loaded up the boys in the car, grabbed the loaf of bread that was getting ready to expire and made our first visit to the famous duck pond.  The ducks immediately saw the bread and began to hunt us down for some free grub.   The boys loved it!

I hit a geocache nearby and played for the next hour with the boys at the playground area!

Got a low dough location for the family?  Post it below!

Fun with Keywords

Looking through some of my website statistics and found something interesting.  One of my stats allows me to see what keyword searches people used to find my website.  Here are some of the different search term keywords that people used on Google that pointed them on my website.

1) "Getting High On Gasoline Fumes" was linked 3 times to my site from google.  No doubt in relation to this blog.  But you would not learn how to get high from fumes here.

2) People from KTBS-TV 3.  We love the gang at KTBS.  I have links to many of their blogs on my page.... but somebody did a search for "Jody Lowery KTBS married?" and found my website instead.

3)  I don't know why on earth somebody would want a "Nixon Impersonator"  but they searched for one, and they probably found this instead on my website.

4) Somebody wants to dump a spouse.  Some guy searched "take my wife for cash" found ToddOnAir.com

5) "Todd's Hasselhoff"  This Todd does not have, or want to own a Hasselhoff.

If you like pina coladas...

It's that time of year, when summer comes to a close... and I don't want it to end... and I want to be on an island somewhere away from the world!

I tell my wife all the time, "one day, I want to live on a tropical island where it's 85 all the time and they sell pina coladas on every corner." Or... "I'm running away to Mexico!" is often said in an exclamation when I've had enough. Of course, I'm always bluffing... but a vacation getaway would be nice!

Where to you dream about running away? Even if you're bluffing....

First Day for First Grade

Remember those first day of School jitters?  You spend days before getting your new clothes together, getting your school box organized with your pencils and crayons.  Then the big day comes.  New teacher, new classmates.  Nerves are high, you're about to explode with excitement!  It's the first day of school!

My 6 year old son, Trale has been so excited to start school since his last day of school in Florida this past summer.  He started first grade this morning.  This is a brand new school, brand new classmates... in a new state!  He didn't show his nerves until we got to the new school.  All of a sudden, my social butterfly clammed up and became very quiet... very reserved.  We entered the classroom and the new teacher showed Trale his new chair.  It wasn't too long Trale got back up from his chair to go and meet his nearby classmates.

I imagine he's already talking about his favorite Lego Star Wars video game as I type.

Worley Bird

Who rocked the CMT Crossroads Bar last night? Darryl Worley!!
If you missed the show check out the video!

During the meet and greet with Darryl, he invited us up to the bus with our KRMD listener winners to listen to his new CD and check out a rough draft of his new video. Once on stage, he actually said my name three times at various times during the concert. Once to ask people to hunt me down to play his new song and a few other times when he was talking about his new record deal... we had talked about that earlier on the bus. Everybody came up to me and said how cool Worley was. He was super cool and a great performer. Check out some of the pics below!
