Put up your dogs and cats and stay inside.......

A couple of months ago I decided that it's time for Lydia to learn how to shoot a gun (much to Chris' opposition).......so I dug out the old 22 rifle, set up a safe location to teach her, made sure that Chris, Lauren and all the dogs were inside and proceeded with her first lesson.
It didn't go too bad and after some initial butterflies in Lydias stomach and she was able to squeeze off a few rounds.

We decided that the 22 we have is too heavy for her, so we are looking for a lighter model that is more balanced for her.

What a Knife...!!

Chris and the kids gave me a new knife for Christmas........nothing like a new bowie knife as a way to say "We love you"..!!!  

It's really high quality and I've put an edge on it that would peel the skin off of a tomato without dripping any juice.......I REALLY love my new toy...!!
