traditions

we made candy today, while the mighty hunters were out in the rain
had a few misshaps, of course

if i ever suggest making 2 batches of peanut butter cups, beth is going to yell at me
we made peanut butter cups till they were coming out our ears

my nephew was the only mighty hunter today
and beth says, his buck just stood there and said "shoot me"
first buck, 4 pt, one shot and down
he is thrilled to pieces
we've been teasing him abt having a black and blue shoulder
tis funny

its odd, seeing the next generation come along and enjoy the same traditions we had when we were kids
the candy making on the first day of deer season is a new tradition, brought by beth and joanna, tho
but the kids sure enjoy looking out the window watching the deer run across the pasture up thru the fields and past dave's shack, same as we used to.
