I'm requesting a mulligan, please!

Mulligan, please! Golfers know this term well!

Wikipedia defines a mulligan, "in a game, happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a certain move or action. In golf, a mulligan is a retaken shot on the first tee box, usually due to a previously errant one."

Simply put, if a golfer messes up his first shot on the first hole, he gets a second shot off the tee. He/she can only take a mulligan on the first hole.

Where does this come in, you ask? I've messed up on some of the numbers on my 101 in 1001. I have completed some of my numbers (#29, #54, and #97), but others I have messed up on. (Some of the daily ones.) So, rather than say I failed them and just quit on those, I'm requesting a mulligan on the first month (or rather, little over a month.) So, what do you say on a second chance, or a mulligan?

Wesley's Second Poultry Festival- 2009

We got to enjoy Wesley's second Poultry Festival Friday. Jud, Wesley and I met my parents there and hung out with them for awhile. Then, about the time my parents were ready to leave, Jud, Wesley and I met up with Jud's sister, Jamye, her husband (Michael) and their daughter (Gracie).


This is of Wesley as we were heading to the Fesival!


Wesley was trying to share his drink with the puppet! Sweet boy!

Wesley and Mommy in the Ferris Wheel! Wesley's first time!




The Historic Courthouse in the middle of the square.


The new courthouse from the Ferris Wheel on the square.


One of the views from the square on the Ferris Wheel towards our house.



Wesley riding the carousel.

So, they had it going to fast and he decided to bail into my arms!

Wesley and I on the Rockin'Tug. Another ride that Wesley didn't like too much!


Wesley was hanging on to me for dear life as we got off!!


Wesley took off to PopPop the first chance after the boat ride!! And, gave me the sad eyes, to boot!!

But, PopPop got him to smile!
Shortly after that, we ran into Jud's sister, her husband, and Gracie bug, and my parents left! Then, we all took the kids to ride the ponies!

Jamye with Gracie on the pony!

Wesley enjoying his ride on the pony! Me, not so much! Those ponies got going fast!! And, do you see the empty pony behind us? Poor Gracie got scared and decided that she wanted to get off about halfway into the ride.

But, Wesley sure was funny as tickled as he got!

Shortly after the pony rides, Wesley crashed! He was sooo tired that he slept for the rest of the time that we were at the Festival (which really wasn't that long). Jud even won Wesley a little stuffed Panda Bear! But, all in all, we had a really great time!
