It should not come as a surprise to anyone, because I have never claimed to be otherwise, but I am not at all computer savvy. When I was in school, the screens were green and a little box blinked and we were taught some program called DOS, I think and it was ineffective. And so having said that, I wish I was... savvy that is... so that I could figure out how to put the video of Allie YODELING on this blog... because it is freakin' hilarious. And you would laugh your head off watching it. And then it would make what I am about to tell you like 10 times funnier... (Yes, funnier is a word. Webster said so. )
But the "little hustler" made $9.00 going door to door yesterday yodeling for the neighbors. And the not so bright people of Eagle Mountain actually ran to their purses and dug in the bottoms and found nickles and dimes and in some cases quarters and paid the girl to stand on their porches with her hands folded in front of her to vacillate between her head voice and chest voice at the top of her lungs. And now she is richer than me.
So, I was thinking I would get an old guitar case from a pawn shop somewhere and open the thing at the entrance of the BYU game on Saturday and have HOOTIN ANNIE ALLISON (with her front teeth missing) yodel her little heart out and treat us all to an Outback special afterward. If you are planning on attending the game, bring some dollars and contribute to the Lund family dinner. We deserve it, since we can no longer show our faces in the neighborhood anymore.
I am pretty sure the difference between people who are financially successful in this world and ordinary poor people like me lies solely in our willingness to show next to no shame in an effort to make a buck. You go girl... you have perfected a talent that only 4 other people on this earth possess. Get yourself some Lederhosen and knee socks and move to the Swiss Alps. The chances of you being the Tiger Woods of Yodeling are practically a sure thing.

9 bucks!!! Are you kidding me! Well the girl really can yodel, I've heard her and she's darn good...but 9 bucks! Well the truth is, I probably would have paid her some money if she'd come to my door. Good for you, Allie, keep up the good work, apparently you have a hungry family who needs your expertise!
I can play a might set of spoons...maybe she would team up with me and split the pot??
Can't wait to hear it!! Will we see you guys this weekend...I sure hope so...maybe we can all meet up for lunch before the game.
That is awesome. I could use 9 bucks. I wonder what talent I could share with my neighbors. I can juggle tennis balls- I'm
REALLY good with two tennis balls, but just so-so with three. I'll go through my neighborhood tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
Can't wait to see you guys.
That is AWESOME!! You are a riot! I WISH I had some talented kids like that coming to my door. All I get is the one's that want to sell melted chocolate bars and cookie dough. ;)
