CUPCAKES FOR COPPERS!


We did it! Julie and I took in 2 dozen cupcakes to  the Roosevelt county Sherriff's department!! Darren Hooker, the local Sherriff and our buddy just about laughed his butt off! He was very appreciative though! After all, it is not everyday that the cops get a big ol' batch of cupcakes to say "Thank you!" The photos are a little blurry, but the cupcakes read... We love RCS (Roosevelt County Sherriff) , "bubble light" (an item Sherriff Hooker promised us, but will never deliver I am sure!!!), "badge" (which Julie and I DID get... even if it was a junior deputy sticker!!), "NM 206" (the highway that is in ill repair and is set at 50 MPH where everyone goes 70ish!) and 50 MPH (the proper speed limit!!!!). Like I said, he thought it was great!

On a serious note though, we have seen the deputies out there everyday, and it IS making a difference! This may seem somewhat trivial to some of you, but I have know many people killed on this road when it was in good shape! The road is a mess right now and is barely safe in many spots at 50 MPH! Julie and I have been in many a near miss with speeding drivers making unsafe passes. Recently, I even had to go to the shoulder (with 10 kids on board!!) to avoid being a part of what was just a few yards away from being a major head on collision. The semi trucks are quite possibly holding the WORST drivers! 

 Sorry to all of you lead-footed drivers, but I prefer my family safe and in one piece as opposed to having to be scraped off of your bumper because you didn't leave on time or you feel the need for speed!!!

;o)  Goodnight!!
