Tagged!

Hellooo!! Hope you're having a wonderful evening.

Well, we've been tagged by our dear Mortons!! (Oh, listen up, y'all-little side note here-this is cool-we meet the "other" ;) Morton family at a father/daughter retreat several years ago, and when we introduced our selves, we came to find that the Father has the same name as our Dad, the Mama has almost the exact same name as our Mom, and they have a daughter named Katie!! Isn't that, just, amazing! :) We were so tickled! So, thanks for the tag, Mortons! So good to hear from y'all!)

OK, now we shall proceed on with the game:
Here it is. Yes, a fifth picture, pulled from old files as the rules say. Isn't Paul a doll? No, hon, he didn't shoot the turkey-Samuel did, and our Small Sprout felt the need to pose. Cutie! :D Little brothers are so much fun. We were so proud of Sam for his hunting, and blessed by Paul's smile.

Dorothy cooked up the birdie, and he was quite tasty when accompanied with cream sauce. The fowl's feathers still adorn many hats and have been subjected to "pens" by darling inventors. ;) So,

The rules for this tag are as follows:
1. go to your documents/pictures.
2. go to your 5th file.
3. go to your 5th picture.
4. blog about it.
5. tag 5 people …...

Alrighty, I tag whoever wants to play-It's fun, and easy, too, so give it a whirl. We would love to see a random picture of yours!

Goodnight!

Andrew's deer!!!!!

Hey everybody!!!!!
Here's to Andrew, our great hunter!!!! He shot a young buck Thanksgiving night, from the second story window of our house, 500 yards away!! And right in the heart!! {Oh, to those of you who may be eating those thanksgiving leftovers as you check this blog, you may want to skip the very last picture-kinda unappetizing. But it was such an great hit that we had to show y'all the picture) Regrets that I don't have any pictures of the crowd that gathered-the card was almost full!! But we were able to get one of our man and his first deer- Great job, Andrew!!
The heart and place that the bullet hit...

The meat is at the butcher's right now, being made into wonderful sausage!! Thanks, dear Andrew! You're wonderful.

Wesley's saying the only way to beat this one is to start stalking deer with a knife...

Ze' Deer!!!

"A crowd has gathered to greet you!!"


After we heard the news of Wesley's fete, we tumbled and tripped in the chilly fall air and all gathered around the specimen, hooked onto the clothesline for butchering! Kress says that "she is in a state of complete shock." ;)

Wes is the very fist man on our farm to shoot a deer after many years of faithful hunting. (Truth be told, every man and his brother around here hunts deer for a living in the fall, so there really aren't that many to hunt, actually. Least it seems like it. :)
"Mr. Grumpy Gills!!" "Ummm...that looks good!"Food!!""Feel her paws."Wes demonstrating how he shot the young buck...
John and Mama dear look on at the proceedings...
Proud, happy housewife....A whole cooler full of tender, flavorful meat for her winter's menus!!

Three cheers, to Wes, our "great white hunter"!
