April 27 – May 1 – Abby & Bill have tickets to see Water for Elephants on opening night, May 5!
A family in Pennsylvania got the wake of call of a lifetime. Owen
was up getting his 6 yr old ready for school…..when all of a
sudden a herd of deer came crashing through the front door. A
total of 5 came through the door. The deer ran around the house
a little bit, and made their escape out the back……but one deer
was stuck in the kitchen. Prob looking for bacon! It made its
way around the kitchen and eventually found the way out. The
herd left hoof marks everywhere, a whole in the dining room
wall…and Owen is still picking up glass, not to mention replacing
all the door jams. Owen said the next time the deer come
knocking, he’ll be ready…. and the deer might end up on his wall!
Fernando Mendoza, from Indiana, who was the first
pick at last week’s NFL Draft. He stands to make around 10 million in his first year. He celebrated by giving $500,000 to the National MS Society. His mom, Elsa, has MS.A Kenyan man named Sabastian Sawe broke the two-hour barrier in the marathon, winning the London Marathon in 1 hour, 59 minutes, 30 seconds. And you know it’s all about the shoes. Sabastian ran in the newly debuted Adidas.
Then we have a sweet puppy dog who won the Wacky name pet contest put on by Nationwide. His name…”Internet Browser” …his
nickname is I-Browes. Which comes from his distinct eye brows. The dog won a gift card for a custom pet portrait.Morgan Wallen just donated $1.2 million to Gibbs High School to update their baseball field, which was renamed in his honor last
year. He graduated from Gibbs in 2011, and was part of their
national championship team in 2010.
