Preparation for naught

We returned home with no wild pig. and no deer. But wil hearts held high for we saw many traces of them! and come rifle season...they will be on my table!

We had a wonderful time however as a family, and teaching the boys about the outdoors and the cycle of life is fantastic.

BTW...walking sticks in the throes of passion...cannot be touched because they are "angry" just in case YOUR 5 year old and 3 year old ask why they can't hold those two. So for the rest of the after noon the boys talked about the "angry" walking stick that their mama said they could not touch. It was rather funny, and rather intelligent of mama to quickly develop such a plausible...and effective...deterrent. The walking sticks thanked her by climbing onto her shirt and causing her to scream later in the day. Also rather entertaining, we had a good laugh about it.

Our only "kills" for the day were about 50 or so wasps that had decided my blind would be a good spot to hang out. I caused them to reevaluate the position they took on that issue, and they saw it my way...while dying on the ground from my 22FT JET SPRAY OF RAID!!!

"I don't like bees OKAY...They are like flying death monkeys." And it applies to wasps too. So I spent the rest of the afternoon teaching Nathan about trapeziods and measurement conversions, while he was assisting me in creating cover patches for the ends of the blind to help keep OUT the flying death monkeys. Although I will be more than gracious enough to kill them again should they forget that their party stance on nesting in my deer blind has changed.

Speaking of party lines and stances...Early voting began today...get out and vote. I'm personally voting for Sarah...and that guy she's running with. (JK) McCain will be getting my vote since Mike Huckabee didn't make the final roster cut. If nothing else at least McCain has voted to uphold the bans on Partial birth abortion (how can we even think to say that is legal...the baby is partially BORN when you kill it - boggles the mind - how that is not murder in the first degree but I digress), and is against using Federal Tax Dollars to fund such atrocities. The opposition cannot say the same, and in fact co-authored bills to try & overturn the ban. I cannot believe someone with no regard for the sancity of human life is ready to the the leader of our nation responsible for the LIVES of the American citizens. Just something to think about.

I discovered a most fabulous drink today...Monster Energy Drink (yes I know it is not new) but in Chai Tea flavor...simply fabulous, and this endorsement comes from someone who doesn't like energy drinks. NEway, it was very good, and what I will look for the next time I might want to drink an energy drink...which is rare...they are very hard on your body.

But my Monster Chai Tea has worn off now and I must go to bed, for I am tired. So in conclusion... No deer, just wasps...great day of teaching...go vote (for McCain/Palin)...and Monster Energy Chai Tea has great taste and is less filling...great taste...less filling...GREAT TASTE...LESS FILLING...the debate still rages today.

Good night one and all and have a pleasant tomorrow.

In Christ Alone,
