$300.00 for FREE

Now step outside any Bar, or outside of any Wal-MArt and claim you have $300.00 to give away for free....................any your likley to get trampled before you can reach for your wallet.

Shhhhhhh...................I said quiet out there................can't ya see I am listnen. I ain't heard a footstep yet so maybe I am safe. Now a modern save the planet multi-culturalist would say that cowboys haven't responded because they're DEAF from shooting thier guns off all the time. BUt being a grass eating cowboy, I know different. Its cause ya can't read that I ain't bean trampled yet.

Well, since I ain't being flocked by takers for the free $300.00 dollars, maybe I can take a little time to flesh out the details of what we have come up with. How many of you have kids, or had kids before ya took the worst one down to the local Taxidermist. Well remember those books that all kids had called "Find Waldo" this character that was hidden someplace on every page. We are going to try something along that line with our trip to Ireland/Scotland/England. We are going to blog SOME, while traveling so that you also can come along and enjoy seeing what we will have the chance to see. I will take my new camera and my 9mm just in case I run into a Librarian...................I am kidding, I dont really have a new camera.
So, we will take pics, and when we have time driving from place to place, we will try to post something say every 2-3 days. Of course there will be text to explain what we saw, and pictures to create more interest to the blog post. Well, within one of the pictures that gets posted, JEREMIAH will be hiding/hard to spot etc. AND YOU need to find each of the pictures with me hidden in it someplace, write down the corresponding number to the picture posted and keep a running log of each blog picture. Then after we are home each interested contestant will send in his entry, and the winner will be the one I choose.................no, excuse me, the winner will be the one whom gets the most hidden JW pics right. There is only ONE winner of the $300.00, and you have your choice of $300.00 dollars of any merchandise that we make or sell, be that JWP, HSBT, WBS saddle deposit, JW Custom Saddle deposit. In the case of a tie, we will flip a coin and shoot the loser. Okay a bit harsh I agree, then how about we ask skill testing questions.................like whats your favorite kind of pie etc. We will think of something.
You can invite your friends to participate, the more the merrier I guess, be sure to stay in touch by going to my regular web site at www.ranch2arena.com since more details may get posted there before we leave next Wednesday. Oh, and by the way, dont be shy, you can Pray we have a safe trip, London just had a heck of a bomb scare this eve.
Let me know if you are interested, otherwise I may just take the 300 and blow it myself some place in the UK.
Good night and God Bless

Jeremiah and family,
I am truly jealous of your upcoming trip. That is probably the one place (with the exception of New Zealand) that I have on my "before I die" list of places to visit. Please do blog, and I'll be sure to play along and look for that handlebar hanging out. By the way, cool picture on the New Big Book. Very serious and "committed" to the craft. Seemed very business-like and appropriate. Have fun, I'll say a little prayer and be careful. I look forward to the reports and getting your $300.00... Mike

Okay Jeremiah and Gang,
Mary and I will play your game!! But here's to a wonderful and safe trip!!Mary and I just got back home with the grandkids--went to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole. Our six year old Grandson kept his eyes peeled for Jackalope---finally spotted one in a store in Jackson Hole. Quite the deal.
Anyway have a safe and wonderful trip and may God Bless.
Jim and Mary
PS. I know what you look like in your Gucchi glasses.

Coleen and Jeremiah,
I am on the Waldo Wagon with you all. Hmmm, is it amazing what we folk will do for doughnuts or cash. I am praying that you will be safe.
The English will marvel at your charming accents; theirs is funny sounding. :)

There is an epidemic of pushing the Post button twice. I did because I wanted to let you all know that I meant "marvel" instead of "mavel."

THE SADDLES YOU MAKE ARE BEAUTIFUL, ONE DAY I HOPE TO HAVE ONE.

Hello Amanda, we planned it so that the $300.00 for a prize win in this little contest will be the normal deposit required to be on the Books for a saddle. So, I say to you join in and guess away, your entry counts like anyone else. But do not put your entry in till sometime during the first week of August when we get home

Top 'O the Mornin' to y'all

I'm in! Last year the choir I sing with toured Ireland. Because of financing two educations I was unable to take the trip, but I bet they sang in many of the churches you are visiting.

Have a great time ... I'm already picking out the spoils of the win, so to speak!

Judy
