My Mission

There's nothing wrong with having a plan



Plans are great.


But missions are better. Missions survive when plans fail, and plans almost always fail.

I stole this statement from Seth Godin's daily blog.  I love this marketing guru's wisdom and words.

It inspired me to write my own mission statement.  Sadly, I didn't have one.

Cowgirl Cash Mission: Be a spirited, healthy, money making business by paying fair prices for second hand items that are authentic, practical, and beautiful. Store promotion will be done through community sponsorships, ads, and events that recognize hardworking women (and sometimes men) with spunk and determination who live a socially and environmentally conscious life.

I like it.  Could be tweaked, but I like it.

Another nice Cowgirl Buck

Chandra Newton, a senior at Redmond High School brought a buck in Thursday afternoon.  Chandra shot her deer on October 8 in the Fossil unit.  They have family friends with property near Spray that she hunted on.  She and her boyfriend were out hiking up a hill when they spotted a herd of does with one forked horn with it.  She sent her boyfriend to follow and she went around the other way.  Chandra found herself face to face with a nice buck 150 yards out.  She pulled up her gun and took him down with one shot.  She used a 30-30 lever action.  Chandra hunts, ducks, and birds as well, and for the record...she guts them herself. Congratulations on a nice buck!  Her deer had a T measure of 40.5.



Darylynne Cortazar from Warm Springs is the second entry in the Cowgirl Cash Women's only Big Buck contest.  Darylynne shot her buck opening day in the West Biggs unit near the Dalles.  She shot it with a Winchester 270 short.  She's been hunting for 10 years.  Hunting is a family affair for the Cortazar family.  Orrin her 20 month old loved poking at the big buck.  It was an interesting mule deer with an a-typical rack. It measured 37 1/8 inches. Not the biggest, but a great buck.  As we photographed and measured Darylynne's deer, Orrin was running around saying "mama big buck"...too cute!
