yesterday we partook in the famous inaugural BPS car rally. a fabulous few hours was had by all. i have an expert poker player on my hands – and she is only 6. at each ‘stop’ in the car rally (which – it must be stressed ‘was not a race’ – but didn’t stop me from using my fast pedalling legs when maneouvering the car!), we signed in a picked a card from the pack. at the first stop – I picked the J♥. madison picked the next three cards at the various stops – J♠ A♠ A♥. we were fairly happy at that point! as were we fanging it driving safely to the last point, we pondered our prize. could be any number of things – monetary is always a bonus! the end of the ‘rally’ was a beautiful but super cold picnic spot. at the end registration, we showed our fabulous hand – and Madison picked her last card. i held my breath – could she do it again – VOILA – a J♦. what a star! we endured a few sausi’s in bread, pumpkin soup and warm milo, whist we awaited the announcement of the winner! with great pomp and ceremony – it turned out that we had the unbeatable hand – and we were proudly handed our prize – two bottles of wine – a red and a white, and a $50 voucher to the local auto parts dealer! ripper!
as you can see from murphy’s attire in the above snapped with iphone photos – it was bitterly cold – but it was not cold enough to let it stop her from giving anyone who looked like they were getting close to snaffling her biscuit the ‘evil eye’!
