Happy birthday to my husband, my friend, my favorite man, my soulmate. I love you so much and consider it a priviledge and a blessing to have you in my life. God is good and He has been good to me through you!! I love you always and forever, no matter what!!+++++++++++++++++++++++
Now for a few answers to questions for Gal Friday:
Girl Guide Cookies:
They are not really the same as Girl Scout cookies. We sell 2 different types (chocolate mint in the fall and Chocolate sandwich & Vanilla sandwich in the spring!!). The traditional sandwich cookies are great and best sellers. I would love to send you a box to try (since I am a guide leader, I know how to get some!!) Let me know.
Chuck Wagon Races: (Or the Chucks)
It is a race of 4 wagons around a track. I can't really explain it, so the best explaination I could find was here. There is even a picture and an explaination of why it was started. It is fun to watch. My family and I used to each choose a wagon each heat (there are 9 heats with 4 wagons in each). Each night, if they come in first in their heat, they win day money. Then if their total times over the 9 nights is low enough, they compete on Sunday night in the last heat for $100,000. It is pretty fun, and a tradition. The voice of the Chucks (Joe Carbury) is retiring this year after doing it for 42 years. I have no idea who they will get to replace him...
I will try and take my own pics on Friday. It should be fun.

What a loving tribute to your guy on his birthday!!
Thanks for explaining about the Chuck Wagon races. I kind of pictured it to be like that(remembering a commercial that ran on TV in the 70's for a dog food with a miniature chuck wagon pulled by mini horses past sleeping dogs--sad, I know)
As for the cookies, I would love to try these Canadian treats-thanks so much for offering. I'll send you a private message with my address. :-)
