January Bonus Day

January 30, 2006 - Monday. Greetings family and friends. On Saturday with the temperature in the mid 50's Nancy called her sister Linda and went for a 12 mile bicycle ride and a 3 mile walk. The sun was shining, something we don't see much of in Ohio in January. It had been a couple years since Nancy had been on a bike, let alone ride for 12 miles. This Saturday there is a winter hike at Findley State Park that Nancy and Charlie hope to participate in, this will be the third hike they have been on this season. 54 days and counting till Myrtle Beach, sunshine and sand.

BUSY, BUSY!

Guess this year has been busy for everyone. I know it has been for me. The boys are back to school. Jackson got his grade card - All A's & 1 B! Of course everyone here was disappointed by the outcome of the game Sunday. Super bowl just won't be the same without the Panthers!

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy Anniversay MOM & DAD!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend getaway!

Congratulations on 33 Years!

did I mention how old I'm going to be in August? Ha-Ha!

The deer in Alabama are safe

The deer in Alabama were able to breath a sigh of relieve this weekend when Keith extended his streak of "deerless" hunts. The weather wasn't exactly perfect for the second annual Crenshaw Christian Academy charity deer hunt in Luverne, AL but the hunt was still enjoyable. Strong winds and a tornado warning threatened to hamper the hunt, but it couldn't break the spirit of the hunters. The people of Luverne were real nice and kept the aspiring Bambi killers well fed with plenty of food and deserts cooked by the locals. Of the 40 hunters there were only 20 some deer taken. In addition to deer, wild hogs could also be shot. Local hunters acted as the guides for the mostly out-of-state hunters and took care of everything once the deer was shot including removing it from the field and taking it to the back of the local football field where it would be skinned and the meet was processed. After it was de-boned, the meet was put in a portable on-site cooler until you were ready to leave. Keith saw a total of 3 doe, 1 little button buck, 2 raccoons and 1 rabbit. However, unlike his Ohio experience he didn't shoot up the woods in Alabama. Except for some time at the firing range, the rifle wasn't even shot.
