Suicide attempt ???

That is what everyone thought when Danielle showed up looking like this. What really happened is that she rode a 3 year old horse that she didn't know out on the trails and got ran through the trees. It could have been a lot worse, and it did look much worse, this picture was taken about 5 days after it happened.

Pink Walls

If those look like pink walls behind Danielle, it's because they are! She and her friend Amamda spent the weekend painting and now Danielle's room is pink. Including several spots on the carpet(not happy about that) The Blackberry that Danielle is on I'm pretty sure is permanently attached to her ear. We'll just call it a new piercing (kidding)

Thought for the Day

> > Home Invasion Leads to Pre-teen Shooting the Two "Perps" in Butte , > Montana> > Shotgun preteen vs. illegal aliens -- Final Score: Her- "2", Them "0"> > Butte, Montana November 5, 2007> > Two illegal aliens, Raphael Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home. > > It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine. > > Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun. > > Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals. > > When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. > > It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45 caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest. > > Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS, & MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news........an 11 year old girl, properly trained, defended her home and herself.... ..against two murderous, illegal aliens ........and she wins, she is still alive. Now that is Gun Control! > > Thought for the day:> > > Don't be a victim; sadly, everyone should always be prepared for this > type of thing> > > Have a "plan" in place for any home invasion; share the plan with all family members!> > > Take action when needed; have enough firepower to diable the perpertrators!> > Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist' > > Give me an Amen - Amen> Have a good day !
