I had a ton o' fun down in the beautiful middle of nowhere last night:
The Rockin' R Ranch in Antimony, Ut.
(the natives pronounce it "an.i.moe.nee". Do not announce the "t" or you will find yourself mocked.)
It was a blast performing last night for the Central & Southern Ut 4-H retreat. I giggled as 100 of the best 4-H'ers around sang and danced to "The Princess Pat" with absolutely no detectable melody line. Then I was lucky to witness
"The Mighty Pick-up Line Competition".
(My personal fave was when a young man held his arms out to the young lady, expecting a huge, hug-filled embrace and pulsed his eyebrows as he said oh-so-slyly, "Wanna hold the priesthood?" That one cracked me up. It was my very favorite...I don't know how it didn't win.)
I kicked off the night in a memorable way when I tried to ask the owner of the ranch for a glass of water and he had NO idea what I was asking for. How was I supposed to know he didn't understand sign language!?! (and why in the world was I using it, I had no idea!)
Next, in the middle of my introduction, I ever-so-gracefully spilled that large cup o' agua all over my posters...and notes...and camera...and sound equipment...but, no worries! I redeemed my awesomeness when I accidentally changed the song right in the middle of singing it...and couldn't get it back.
Needless to say, we had a knee-slappin' good time.
So, to all you 4-H'ers out there, a shout out for you! Wa-hooooooo!!!
(and never, ever forget how amazing you are...)
