hatters are the best

last night while i was manning the chat booth - well, actually i left ray manning the booth - i was wandering around in search of the lost and found - which is bye the way - at the stampede office in the kinplex - well, let me just say how impressed i am with hatters - 3 wallets lost at the stampede grounds yesterday and all 3 wallets returned to their rightfull owners all in tack - nothing missing - it was great - here i am with no wallet - mines always empty so i just keep coin in my pockets and i get to the dole booth across from the stampede office - smoothies are 3 dollars and 75 cents - i only have 3-10 - and i'm standing there with my station nametag on and justin hersh sees me and says corinne bolt - from chat and yes it's me - not the girl who paid 200 dollars for a pair of jeans - that's another story for later but anyhoo - he introduces himself and can you believe the nerve? not of him, but of me - i ask if he can lend me 65 cents - well he does and since he works for the stampede in maintenance, i know for sure that i will see him once again when i am there tonight and i will pay him back with interest - thanks so much justin - made my night! hatters are the best!

71 year old glen cambell couldn't read what i wrote - so when i offered him my glasses - he said he was going to buy me a seeing eye dog!

saturday's shows started with newcomer shevy smith and the kentucky headhunters

followed by ronnie milsap and the road hammers

cowboy troy kicked off the big and rich show
and shot big and rich 100 dollar bills into the crowd before the crazy duo came on stage, then an encore and then back on stage with the head hunters for the final final encore and they ended up smashing big kenny's guitar - it was an absolutely crazy.

and then aaron lines starting things off on sunday and carolyn dawn johnson followed, williams and ree were hilarious and then carrie underwood wowed the crowds and reba completed the entire weekend with a wicked show.

Rome at home with the cup

i was in Souris Manitoba over the weekend for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary - it was the weekend too for the souris fair, fireworks, the peacock pub (street pub) and the stanley cup. what? you didn’t know it was stanley cup weekend? lol - it was for souris - it was the weekend that aaron rome brought it home. i can’t believe i got that close - not only to touch it but to DRINK from it! (though i didn’t eat the poutine from it) once in a life time opportunity and i get to be there the same night - SWEET - i can add that to my list of sports accomplishments


I’ve TOUCHED pee wee smith’s grey cup ring
i’ve TOUCHED troy loney’s stanley cup ring
and i’ve had a DRINK from the stanley cup




next on my list;
findin' me a super bowl ring.

canada, cars and corona (not the beer)

hey there! i hope you are having a great canada day weekend. after talking to kevin therres on the radio about the world’s first canola biodiesel jet car that he would be demoing at the drag races - it’s a 2007 corvette f/c - i was off TO the races.
ray and i watched the top alcohol funny car’s time trials. 3 years running we have been there on the canada day long weekend since ray’s cousin is a pit crew member for tim nemeth’s team, you may have read about the redcliff native in saturday’s medicine hat news. an emotional time for the entire family, but a fun time as well.

i didn’t get to stick around and see the finals or the jet car because i was next off to ralph’s for a bridal shower and home and in bed before midnight. you would never have known it canada day because it seemed i couldn’t put two words together on solid gold sunday. maybe i do work better sleep deprived. after work i tested out my new golf clubs ray got me as an early birthday present. so my RAZOR clubs are officially broken in and i shot a 72!!! pretty good eh? NOT - it was only on 9

no fireworks for me this year since it was to bed early since i am filling in for jim duce this morning, but this afternoon it’s a nap and getting ready for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary in manitoba. 2 more sleeps til i leave and then the following weekend it’s off to craven country jamboree - maybe i’ll see you there - this weekend is a touch tone long weekend with craven artist cd’s up for grabs, antonio’s pizza and possibly - a pair of weekend passes if you’re the right caller through. have a great rest of the long weekend and good luck!

ps - corona is my nickname, not the beer OR the typewriter
