This was the woman who started off the "Spot The Kerrowdown" club, a total complete stranger looking straight back down my lens through her lens.

Kerrowdown.......you know by now that the most charming of women are always the most dangerous....and Mrs Rupert is indeed very charming!

She's kind to animals...stuffed animals...but does not care for my squirrels or raccoons. Often threatens to shoot them.....



Regards!

Never been hit with one....but I can tell you a cast iron frying pan is a deadly weapon!

Being hit with a cast iron frying pan is not fun. Hitting yourself with it as I did is even more of a stupid but possible feat. Yes it's true.

Lol, at least one of us does... My camera bag is way way bigger than my little back pack purse. I don't pack a gun, I pack a mini cattle prod.

All I'm gonna say was that I was led to believe everything was bigger in Texas...

That was said to me by a Texan.

Okay, you's done ask fer it, here is the story, how the events unfolded to where I actually managed to hit my own self with a cast iron skillet. First off I like to cook.... A lot. One of the things I like to cook is chicken fried steak, fried catfish or shrimp, and the homemade onion rings. I think in this case it was the huge batch of homemade onion rings that was the culprit in this event as It resulted in having a skillet full of grease after the cooking was over.
The second thing that started the whole messed up ordeal was that I could not just dump the grease anywhere since the Heeler dog Ming has a pancreas condition so she cannot have fat.... Not much at all. ( yes neighbors that hated her could throw bacon or Velveeta over the fence and kill pup in one fell swoop.... Shhhhhh) so I could not dump the grease outside, pup would eat it, I could drive it 13 miles and dump it in a trash can in town.... Nah... Don't want grease inside my jeep, sooo I can't put it down the drain..... We have a septic system, usually I save a coffee can and put it in there and dump it in the trash right before the trash truck gets here, but it left already, ughhhhh , I could put it and the veggie scraps in the mulch bin..... Okay so grease is not supposed to go into the garden mulch bin. But just that once I did it anyway, I marched my cast iron skillet outside full of grease and veggie scraps and dumped it in the tall mulch bin. Then I had to put the door back on the mulch bin but that took two hands and I had to put the skillet down and Ming of course followed me every step of the way.
I could not put the pan on the ground because it still had enough grease residue to make the dog sick so I put the pan where she can't get it..... ON TOP of the ROLLY mulch bin. The door attatched with hinges and latches so I finally got that back on. My husband drives up with groceries or something so I got distracted and forgot about the skillet.
Well a couple days later I cannot find that skillet, searched everywhere, cooked without it, looked some more, then I brought more veggie scraps out to the big tall rolling mulch bin. I put the hinged and latched door back on and grabbed the spin crank on the side an spun as hard as I could .... Only to be whacked right in the forehead with the missing cast iron skillet. Right before I seen stars..... I seen my saliva leave my mouth.... Fell forwards onto the ground..... And was momentarily stunned, I was however aware enough to see hazily that my dogs were all standing around me with their collective heads turned sideways, like " "Wow, never seen her do that trick before!". Pain.... Aghhhhh pain..... Cast iron skillets ought to be on the weapons list. That was from one hit, I guarantee it will take someone down if you are really aiming. That was just a free fall from a couple feet that hit me. My head hurt in that spot for a month. Yes everything is bigger in Texas including stupid things you can do to yourself.

Infamous in certain circles I may be... but with the Scottish Tourist board I'm pleased to say, that they are less familiar with the antics of the Kerrowdown.

I'm sure Mrs Rupert is absolutely charming woman,
Having spent time with her and Jim on a few occasions, I will confirm that she is indeed. (and, obviously, she has the patience of a saint )
