Farm filled weekend..and Welcome to Winter!

Well we went to the farm this weekend.. The dog babes had to go to the Groomer, and mom wanted to make eggnog so we left on Friday. We had a fun trip, and I manged to get a little Christmas shopping done! The dog babes were at the groomer most of the day Saturday, so I had a little time to run around and pick up a few gifts. The groomer always does such a good job with them..They look like little fluff-puffins! Of course they were "smiling" because they really do know that command..Mom was laughing at them because they smile on Cue. They had a fun time playing with Mom's Dog Izzy..or I guess I should say Sawyer did..Izzy is too big to play with Miss Pays now, and Payslee gets sick of her so she just asks me to pick her up so they can't get her..so I do. She's kindof a Princess anyway.

Saturday Mom made some eggnog. We have this secret, special, eggnog recipe that everyone just LOVES..so we made a big ol' batch to take to some friends. Then she made some homemade chicken and noodles and Payslee & Saw were very excited to have a little taste of that!! I also played mom's WII for the first time..HOW FUN! Although I didn't like it when I got on the WII fit and it let out a groan when I stepped on! WHAT! Then it makes you look all tubby.. lol.. Oh well..such is life..But I seriously don't need a video game to tell me I'm fat either! I hope Santa Clause is bringing me one though..its very fun to play..

Yesterday we went to look at some of our Show Calves that we raised. We have a Bull "Renegade" and two Heifers "Lydia" and "Lexus".. Lydia won Reserve GRand at the Kansas City Royal a couple of weeks ago (thats a big deal) and Renegade is going to show at the Denver Cattle Show.. Look how pretty they are!



They are all tied up in the Cooling room (A room with 3 air condidioners and 7 fans) until the Weather stays cold so they don't lose all that pretty hair..These are very pampered calves!!
Enjoy the Winter Weather!

Friday the 13th!

Welcome to Friday the 13th..Lynn told me today (in an article he was reading) that some of the most infamous serial killers have 13 letters in their names..Jeffrey Dahlmer, Charles Manson, Theodore Bundy..Well guess who's name has 13 letters in it? Yup..Kaysee Sheperd!! Hahaha!

I'm not very superstitious, but I did find a few things that are considered "Bad Luck"
Begin a new job or a trip
Cut off both ends of a loaf of bread
Flip your mattress
Put new shoes on the table
Leave your hat on the bed
Walk under a ladder
Pour water on a windowsill
Plant potatoes
Lean a broom on a bed
Open an umbrella indoors
Do housework
Wear new clothes
Cut your hair
Sneeze to your left side
Have a black cat cross your path

So be careful! Last night I took Payslee on a therapy visit to Sterling House in Edmond. She was wearing a lovely denim country dress and the little ladies just loved it! They kept wanting Payslee to dance, and she loves to do that, so they clapped and clapped for her..and they also love her to give them kisses, and she loves doing that too. She was a very good girl. I still haven't taken Sawyer, but I swear I'm going to eventually. He has now decided that he wants to learn tricks too, so now both He and Payslee are jumping through a hoop!They are silly biscuits.

With the leaves, and dry weather though they have been a little itchy, so my vet told me to give them some Children's Benadryl in a little syringe..Well it doesn't taste good, so I try to do it as quickly as I can..Well last night when Saw opened up his mouth I squirted it in, and I guess I shot some down the wrong Pipe!! He started coughing and hacking, and I felt so bad for doing it! Well he kept coughing around, and I finally just called my vet and asked if he was going to be okay..He said, Yes, but just like people, sometimes it will go down the wrong pipe and cause them to choke. He was fine about an hour later, but I felt like a bad dog Mom! Plus Sawyer is so pathetic looking when he is sad..he kept rubbing it in..lol..

Today we are all going to the farm to spend time with the family..I look forward to watching the babies play with their other dog friends. Have a great weekend!!

CMA Funtimes

Well I ended up getting to watch all the CMA's last night. I was supposed to go to church, but Lauren & I went to eat half-price Sushi at Buddah Tao, and for some reason it took them an HOUR to make, so we missed it..So I went on home to watch the awards. Here's a few of my personal "Highlights" in no order..
1) Zac Brown Band
2) Lady A
3) Sugarland
4) Daughtry & Vince Gill
5) Miranda Lambert

I thought Brad & Carrie did a great job hosting, and over all I thought the show was really good. Some of the performances were a little 'off'..but such is life with a LIVE show. This morning we took a lot of calls from People that said the awards show wasn't "Country" last night, but I personally believe there is a place for everyone in Country music. I mean back when Ronnie Milsap, John Denver, and Conway Twitty were on the top 40 charts crossing over into Country people said that they were not "Country".. and When Willie wore his hair too long, or Waylon acted like an outlaw they weren't "Country"..So I think thats the beauty of "Country" music..It transforms, it migrates, and it changes..and the beauty is that ITS ALL GOOD! Why worry about who's too this, or too that, and just like the good music? Because there is a ton of great music out there to listen to, and the one thing I've always loved about Country music is how loyal the fans are, and how they embrace their memebers and stand behind them..So thats my soapbox for the day! Hope you enjoyed the awards show!

CMA's on Tonight & Happy Veterans Day




Happy Veterans Day to those Serving, and those who have Served before. I lost one of my favorite soldiers last year, Dick Johnson. He was a fighting Seabee in World War II, and my former Co-host..I miss him everyday. So thank you very much to all our Veterans.


So tonight the CMA awards are on..I won't get to watch the first hour till later, because I'm going to Church with Lauren. We are taking another great class at Crossings about putting the bible's words into your everyday life..And Its a really good class. It starts at 6:30, so I won't be home till around 8:00. I'll DVR the first hour though and watch it back. I know that Taylor Swift is opening the show, and there will also be performances by Jamey Johnson with Kid Rock, Vince Gill with Chris Daughtry, and Brooks & Dunn in one of their last performances together with ZZ Top. Should be a good show. As far as my picks go:
Entertainer of the year--Kenny Chesney
Female Vocalist--Carrie Underwood
New Artist--Darrius Rucker
Male Vocalist--Kenny Chesney
Song of the year--In Color
Album of the Year--Taylor Swift, Fearless
Single of the Year--Chicken Fried--Zac Brown Band

There are a few others, but those are the Majors. I'll be anxious to see how everyone 'sounds'.. You can always tell the great vocalists from the ones who need a little 'audio help'. I haven't heard what Sugarland is going to perform yet, but Jennifer Nettles always knocks it out of the park..When she sang "Stay" a few years ago, I couldn't tear my eyes away!!

Too bad that ONCE AGAIN Gary Allan & Trace Adkins got shut out..What a pile of crap. That always irritates me.. Well have fun watching the show, lets compare tomorrow and discuss!

Blue Suede Shoes for you.

Well hello.. Hope everyone had a good weekend..Mine was boring. I mean I had 'bits' of excitement, but overall..BORING. I did go and see the Movie "The Fourth Kind".. ITs about Alien Abudictions that 'supposedly' really happened in Nome, Alaska..but I think the PR company just made it all up, because we've never really heard anything about it before now.. but it was still pretty freaky. It was much better than Paranormal Activity! Its worth your money if you like Scary movies.

Other than that I just 'hung out'.. I took the dogs rollerblading, and to their field, and took my Halloween stuff down.. I didn't put up my Christmas stuff yet, but its on my to-do list..Lynn is thinking about switching to the LED lights this year, and I might too.. They are so bright! I did find the time to make this though:..see too much time on my hands.. lol..

Are you KC Sheperd? Who wants to Know?


Happy Friday!

I took Payslee on a Therapy Visit yesterday to the Assisted living center in Edmond. She had a good time visiting. She was wearing her Polka Dot Dress and the little ladies love that! I loved the little lady that told me my skin looked like a 20 year olds!! Woo wee! Gotta love it! I was supposed to take Sawyer, but I chickened out. .lol.. I know, I know.. but I knew he would cry to play with the other dogs, so I'm hoping to teach him a little restraint before I take him..But he will get to go, I promise.
I'm going to try to go see that movie that Jimmy Carter was talking about. Its called "The Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw..He said it was really good, so I'm excited to go. Tonight I'll be at Taft High School for a broadcast with Channel 9 for the Football Game..Then tomorrow I'll be at the Quarterhorse Show from 2-4. I love seeing all those beautiful horses!
I am going to be on the Sunday Morning Gospel show with Lynn this Sunday Morning to talk about my CD. I finally finished it..Its called "KC Sheperd Gospel Greats" and its basically just my favorite Gospel Songs. I did two songs with my Dad, Kirby, and he did an awesome job. We sang "Amazing Grace" together and "Wish you Were Here" and then I put "I know Who Holds Tomorrow" on it, and thats a song I did for my Grandma Leona. It was her favorite, so that makes it special to me. Hope you all enjoy it..We have them here at the Radio station for $5 if you would like one..Have a great weekend!

Breakup Song Thursday

So this morning we were talking about songs that help you through a Breakup.. Is it wrong that I have FULL CD's with very colorful names like, "I Wish you were Dead" cd? Or How bout, "Shut your mouth you stupid idiot" cd..all full of Songs that make me feel better about the breakup. I even make them for other people when they are going through a breakup because I feel like Music heals the soul..So if you need one, hit me up, and I'll pass one along to you.. I don't really like "Woe as me" breakup songs, I'm more of a "Put this in your pipe and Smoke it" kinda gal. I need anger. lol. Here's a couple of my favorites:

1) A Little Gasoline--Terri Clark


2) Good as I was to you--Lorrie Morgan


3) Shut up & Drive--Chely Wright


4) Two Pina Coladas--Garth Brooks


5) Kiss This--Aaron Tippin


6) A Little Past Little Rock--Leeann Womack


7) Friends in Low Places (The LIVE Version)--Garth Brooks


8) Never Mind Me--Big & Rich


9) She Doesn't Dance--Mark McGuinn


10) What I need to do--Kenny Chesney


11) Cold one Coming on--Montgomery Gentry

So there's a few of my favs.. We had a TON of call this morning with folks listing some GREAT songs..

I'm going to take Sawyer to a therapy visit today. I'm nervous about it because there will be other dogs there, and Sawyer has a hard time focusing on the actual people, because he just wants to play with the other dogs! He gets his feelings hurt if he can't go play with the other dogs.. Its just ridiculous..but he's got to learn, so I'm going to go ahead and take him. His cuteness is over whelming, so maybe he will have fun being all puffish for people.
