Deer lease - opening dove season

William and I came to the deer lease on Friday. I'm not quite sure why we had to come so early, you see dove season doesn't even start until Monday Sept 1st, but we did so here we are. We did get our deer blind back standing upright. You see it blew over back in June when a tornado came thru up here. It stands about 15ft off the ground and took us all day and alot of yelling at each other, but we got it back up!!! After that was finished we took the memory card out of the game camera and took it to WalMart - there were 1764 pictures, mostly doe and babies, a couple of pigs and different 3 bucks, all in velvet. This doe has it figured out, if no corn on the ground, then just eat straight out of the bucket!!! Isn't this buck "nice", even though he's young he should grow up to have a nice set of horns one day. Something else big arould here is the moquitos, man they are like camacazi pilots, going in for the kill. Can't put enough mosquito spray on, they act like it's just candy. Oh well, the joys of hunting!

bright sunny and "hot" Saturday morning

Today started off rather nice this morning - while sitting outside a flock of Canadian Geese swam up - I had seen them earlier in the year when it was 2 adults and 8 fuzzy babies - the babies are now grown - we had put out some cat food and they came up and started feeding. When they got fininshed feeding they started "honking" and flew off.

Here we go - new to blogging!!!

Here we go!!!! Thought this would be fun to be able to blog about my wonderful family from time to time. I have the greatest husband, Billy, but I usually call him William - you know at our age "Billy" sounds so young! I also have 2 sons, Chris and Shane, and 6 of the BEST grandkids from the age of 6-20 (3 girls & 3 boys).

Our grandkids are the light of our life, we have the best time with them. We live on a lake and everybody has fun fishing, swimming and jet skiing. Can't see him too well, but William is sitting on the dock fishing. He did't catch anything, but I caught this beautiful sunset.

Michael James, my oldest grandson, has flown the nest. He recently started a new job in Denton and has moved in with a friend there to be closer to work. Even though I am very proud of him as he grows and matures, I sure do miss him being around. He has the most electric laugh.

Well the picture at the top of the page is Jordan and Ciara, they are Michael's brother and sister. Jordan lives in Mineral Wells with his other grand mother. He is 17 yrs old and will be a Senior this year. He's 6'2" and loves to play basketball. Ciara lives in Oregon with her father. She is 13 yrs old and looks more like her mother everyday.

Maybe once I get used to this bloggin stuff, I'll learn how to put the pictures where I want them or at least be able to move or delete them and try over. Oh well, not bad for my first time!!!
