This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!

My Town
by Jodi
Thought I would take you on a little tour of Oregon!! Enjoy ♥
lol....no I just thought of Mayberry with those tree lined streets and the WWI Memorial...
I could just see Bea putting a couple of pies on the window ledge to cool...and Floyd opening the barber shop and Gomer welcoming his first customer of the day....and Otis going home from the jail to his wife...
And Deputy Phife on the beat keeping the streets safe from crime....
JODI: Oregon is so different from where I live..and that's why I like it so much. The tree lined streets are so pretty! Maybe you could do another video when it snows..I bet it's gorgeous! btw..is that old water tower filled with Spotted Cow by any chance? ;) Great video JODI..thank you!
DEEDEE: You forgot Opie..what's he up to? ;)
LYNN: Ok..time for you to do a video of Washington! :)
Jodi, I can just see you riding that nice bike I put on your FB wall, right down main street. So quaint! I know. You don't have to thank me. I was happy to do it.
DeeDee, you'd turn Mayberry on its' ear. They'd think you were from elsewhere. Like Jupiter.
Good morning to Zona, EBJ, LynnD and everyone dropping in later.
Jodi to show us YOUR town it took 4.36. To show you MY town it would take all of 36 seconds. If you blink you would miss it. No traffic lights, no fast food places (except Tim Hortons), one grocery store in "THE MALL" (which only has 3 other stores in it) and at our hospital you can't even give birth. They have to send you an hour away to another hospital.
I loved your video! You have way more leaves left on your trees than we do. We had heavy wind and rain last night that left a lot of trees bare. The "house on the island of land" was cool too! Thanks for sharing your town with us!
Jodi, thanks for the morning drive! It looks a lot like our "neck of the woods". I was hoping we would see you "fill up" on spotted cow!(tower) lol! I too want to see your work area and all the bakery stuff :)What's on special today?
Love the vid Jodi, I even recognized some of it (not bad for the someone with direction challenges!)
Sorry that Jodi didn't have a pic of the 'Spotted Cow' pournig down, but I do have pics of Jodi pouring down 'Spotted Cow' if anyone wants to see them.... :)
DEE DEE - lol @ MARYBERRY!!! And oh, the visual of Sheriff Taylor and you....oooh, la, la ♥
LYNN - Thanks!!
ZONA - I'm almost positive there is no Spotted Cow in the water tower ;) But great suggestion!!
EBJ - I REALLY wanted to do one inside my store, but they REALLY look down upon that kind of thing!! Like, I REALLY want to keep my job!! The narration was kinda random thanks to Sam....it is, what it is!!!
BONACHICHI - Thanks....I'm sure I would be the talk of the town on that thing!!
SHIRLEY - I would SOOOOOO love to see your town!! Even if it is a blink!
MARY - Last day of our 3/$1.00 Glazer special. First day of our pizza special $1.00 off thin crust, and $2.00 specialty pizzas!! GOLDIE!!! Time to stock up!!
GOLDIE - Yes, I imagine you do have those pics!! I'm just thankful you don't have video of me on the couch....ijs!!
Jodi, Love the vid of your little town. We have very few trees that are turning yet. However, we do have quite a few Victorian houses that are also protected by the historical society. Some of them downtown have been turned into businesses, mostly attorney offices. Thanks for showing us around your slice of heaven. ♥
I have so much to do to get ready for a family reunion I am hosting for my husband's family this weekend. I have been dragging my feet all week and now I'm way behind.
I hope you are all having a great day. Waving wildly to all the Owls.
My parents moved to Oregon when I was 1 1/2. Our backyard butted up to corn fields. There is now over 25 square blocks of development behind my Dad's house. I love that we're raising our family in the town that I grew up in. Still has that "small town" feel....even with 4 stoplights and 3 Kwik Trips!! And the school district has excellent academics, sports, and arts programs. You can't get all that in the "big city".
I'm glad you enjoyed my little corner of the world ♥
JODI: Loved seeing your town and where you work. I guess I thought your town was smaller....3 Kwik Trips...we don't even have one in all of Denver. I do have a bone to pick with you. Why is that tree hanging from your mirror? What happened to the Bronco one I gave you? Do I have to go the car wash and get you another?
Our trees are beautiful too and look a lot like yours, JODI. It was nice to visit with you today too.
I would do a video but I don't know how!! challenged a little in that department!
I stopped and picked up dinner tonight as I went to the dentist and can't chew too great besides that I am lazyZ!
Time to go and watch Apprentice. ZONA, what did your insurance company tell you? Can you post any pictures of the hail damage? Hope all is okay and ins is doing what they need to do.
OMG....DIANNE!! I'm so sorry....the Bronco air freshener lost it's zing awhile ago!! I guess you'll have to send me a new one ♥ And I guess you wouldn't have a Kwik Trip considering you don't live in Iowa, Wisconsin, or Minnesota!! lol!! It was great to talk to you today. When do you get the 2nd replacement?
OH YOU BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND YOUR WITTY BANTER JUST MAKES ME GIGGLE! (: Incase you have not figured it out yet, this is Sam. (Jodi's Spawn) ^_^ Just wanna say, thank you all for making my mom a happy individual and giving her loads of laughs all the time. Smiling is a good look for her :) Wellllll, Jodi told me not to comment on this, but oh well, following the rules isn't exactly what a sweet sixteen rebel queen such as myself does ;D!
Hope you're all having a fantastic and splendid autumn season as we are in Oregon Wisconsin!!!!
Hi Sam! How refreshing to have your sweet comment :) We all love your Mom. She puts the "fizz" in my pop lol!! Speaking of "refreshments ! Jodi, still waiting for my "Raspberry Tart"
Hodi and Sam Thank you for the tour of Oregon, WESconsin. That was great fun. What a charming place to live and grow up in.
I'm supposed to be working at home but I have procrastinated all day. I have a cold and am very tired. I'm even more tired when I think of all the things I want to get done before I leave on my cruise in one week. Yikes! I'm just stressing myself out to think about it.
JodiHO! I love your little corner of the world.. just a pleasure to take a ride with you and your daughter..
Loved your daughters commentary, (and yours) felt like I was right there..
Your trees are truly turning colors already, here in my part of NJ, no fall colors yet, but in a couple of weeks they will be changing..
But wait no "Dunkin Donuts"?????
I would be totally lost..
And that house on the corner lot.. Oh my Sam is right pretty awesome, just a beautiful house, love the color they painted it.. and the land its on.. perfect!
Oh, and LOL on Sam about the place in town (forgot the name) " When you have no life" We have several of those in NJ as well.. so I totally got it..
CAROL - No Dunkin' Donuts, but who needs that when you have Kwik Trip?!!? And the Firefly that Sam pointed out is a fabulous Coffeehouse!! I go there occasionally for "fancy" coffee and to relax!! You'd love it....a great place to read and they have free wifi!!
I hope you all have a good Friday. I left a stack of Glazer Donuts on the counter, fresh hazelnut coffee in a carafe, and plenty of chocolate milk in the fridge ♥
Jodi, Pretty town you have there. I enjoyed seeing it.
Sam, you're cute and funny!
Having my cawfee, trying to wake up. Gotta run to the store and get some meds for mom and hopefully color my hair today. The weather has been great, so I'm hoping to spend more time outside again today. Gotta get it before it's gone.
MAYBERRY!!
ReplyDeleteThat was neat Jodi! Loved listening to you speak.....
ReplyDeleteMorning glories!
ReplyDeleteJodi, Oregon looks a lot like Washington. All of those trees! Beautiful town.
Deedee are you channeling your inner Aunt Bea?
lol....no I just thought of Mayberry with those tree lined streets and the WWI Memorial...
ReplyDeleteI could just see Bea putting a couple of pies on the window ledge to cool...and Floyd opening the barber shop and Gomer welcoming his first customer of the day....and Otis going home from the jail to his wife...
And Deputy Phife on the beat keeping the streets safe from crime....
and Sheriff Taylor dropping by to "see" me...
Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteJODI: Oregon is so different from where I live..and that's why I like it so much. The tree lined streets are so pretty! Maybe you could do another video when it snows..I bet it's gorgeous! btw..is that old water tower filled with Spotted Cow by any chance? ;) Great video JODI..thank you!

LYNN: Ok..time for you to do a video of Washington! :)
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteLOVED the video Jodi! And the narration was perfect.
Maybe you can take us on a tour inside Kwik Trip next time!
Zona, we are still swimming. We went last night and it was a little cold, but not too bad.
Have a good day everyone!
Jodi, I can just see you riding that nice bike I put on your FB wall, right down main street. So quaint! I know. You don't have to thank me. I was happy to do it.

Good morning to Zona, EBJ, LynnD and everyone dropping in later.
Zona!
ReplyDeleteI didn't for get Opie!
He's giving me a pedicure....
T-Bird! I could fit in in Mayberry! Eva did it in Hooterville!!
I could support the athletes!! I've always wanted to be an athletic supporter....
Jodi to show us YOUR town it took 4.36. To show you MY town it would take all of 36 seconds. If you blink you would miss it. No traffic lights, no fast food places (except Tim Hortons), one grocery store in "THE MALL" (which only has 3 other stores in it) and at our hospital you can't even give birth.

Zona can't you just picture Jodi standing under that water tower, she presses a button and Spotted Cow comes flowing down, right into her mouth! Ha!
ReplyDeleteJodi, thanks for the morning drive! It looks a lot like our "neck of the woods". I was hoping we would see you "fill up" on spotted cow!(tower) lol!
ReplyDeleteI too want to see your work area and all the bakery stuff :)What's on special today?
