I was all dressed up, sitting out there, just for him.
I called to him.
“Hey baby.”
He stopped and looked up.
“You looking for someone to have a good time?”
He stepped forward.
“You can have me if you just walk this way.”
He stepped closer. Closer. 140 yards, 130 yards, 120 yards, 110 yards…
100 yards.
I called one last time.
“Honey…”
He didn’t see me, but I ( Read more... )

Today was the last day for deer (bow), Canada Geese, and Duck. I thought I'd post some of my favorite pictures from the season (yes, I actually take my camera with me when I hunt).

 Jimmy called me this morning (or last night, whichever you prefer), around midnight. I was just about to go to bed, but he wanted to talk, and so i stayed up.

Mom and Terry left today. I spent the morning with them. We went to the farmer's market up town, then to Goodwill, and then to Wal-Mart. After that we went to Tastee Freeze for lunch. Mike and Nick met us there, but Chris couldn't come. He was out deer hunting ( Read more... )

Through the years we’ve collected quite a bit of blue-collar garb. The boys had camo bibs, and we all had camo jackets (some of us had more than one). I know during the winter there are heavy Carhartt coveralls and jackets, to keep warm, and there’s millions and millions of flannel. Flannel everywhere. Dickies is the most popular brand. My father ( Read more... )

 Yeah. Fun day.
Couldn't find my shoes this morning, stepped out of the house in my old camo jacket (since I left my new one in Jack's truck this morning) and a pair of old jeans, with no belt.
Of course I'd forget that.
As I walked out of my yard and pulled up my pants, I ran smack into Dylan, a freshmen who lives near me. Dylan has an older brother ( Read more... )

 So. Today was the first day of spirit week at school. (Homecoming is Friday.)
It was color day. Seniors wore tie-dye, Juniors wore red, Sophomores wore blue, and Freshmen wore green.
I happily wore my Rodney Adkins t-shirt, the one from the concert in Tennessee two years ago, which was just the perfect shade of red (not the fire engine kind that ( Read more... )
