Weekend plans?

[Janet]

Today I bathed and groomed all the doggies and got every bit of laundry done too. Tomorrow I think I'm going to sit outside in the swing and start reading the ebay books we bought. Hubby is ready to give it a try.

We went to a skeet shooting tourney for a while today. It was terribly hot so we only stayed long enough to see our 12 year old granddaughter win second place in her division - not bad since she was the only GIRL! Last year she won it, so I guess those boys "practiced up" this past year!!! Actually, she just got a new gun yesterday so I'm blaming her second place position on not being used to it!

I realize that some of you are aghast that she would shoot and own a gun - but we are a farm family (even though we live in town now) and almost everyone hunts. When I was growing up my parents/grandparents hunted to put food on the table. We grew or hunted almost everything we ate. Even now, we eat everything that is killed, no one hunts just for the sport. My freezer is full of venison (and fish because we all fish too) - it is much healthier than beef - very low fat.

Anyway, that's how I spent part of my Saturday!

Gayle, my 11yo g-daughter asked for a bb gun and shoots almost everytime she comes over.

I got clearance to go back to work on Monday, so I'm spending a fairly quiet weekend. I'm still on crutches and can't put weight on that foot. Of course, I don't feel that I'm ready to go back, but I'm giving it a try. I'm on the 12th floor and afraid of not getting out in an emergency.

Hubby and I went to gdaughter's 1st birthday cake today (2 hours hours away). It was a small gathering, not really a party. I hadn't seen her in a couple of weeks and she's walking all over.

Now I'm chilling while Hubby washes my car - it's lovebug time! My foot is very swollen from being down all day and aches like heck.

Yay! I'm not the only one with a tomboy granddaughter!

And if your foot is swollen from being up and around today - it doesn't sound like you are ready to go back to work!!

I love shooting a gun, rifle, shotgun, archery...LOL. I have shot archery since I was about 8 or 9 years old. Started shooting a gun just a few years older I think. I use to love to go rabbit hunting. One day we were out at the flower shop, lots of rabbits out there, and this one stood on it's haunches with it's back to me. Just as I pulled the trigger it turned and looked at me and then my father-in-law said..."that's my favorite", (he was just teasing.) I haven't been able to rabbit hunt since. That was probably 20 years ago, it was before my son was born. I do miss the rabbit gravy though...lol

I come from a large hunting family too... my younger girl cousins do hunt as well, but I don't. I'm too sensitive! But my dad and brother go deer and moose hunting every year, and our freezers are always stocked with meat. When it starts to go down or they don't get much in their hunt, my parents usually buy some elk or buffalo from local farmers. It's nice knowing where your meat comes from!

I hope everyone's weekend is going as planned so far! My party yesterday went really well, and I made some vodka punch that was a huge hit with everyone! There was one little snag in the day when all of a sudden a fire truck pulled up in the alley and 4 firemen got out (okay a couple were cute) and said someone had reported an illegal firepit, but before even coming into the yard the one guy was like "It looks fine to me" and one of the cute ones was like "Hey guys... we just thought we'd stop by for a beer" So they just got our information and left.
Everyone decided to either go home or head to a bar at around 11 last night so I got to sleep pretty early and left the cleaning for this morning. Now I get to just relax!!

Weekend plans here are just cleaning my nick nacks in the kitchen and doing laundry. Yesterday took a road trip with my husband for work. That was fun.
This afternoon going to make veggie beef soup. YUMMY. I put a Deer Roast in the oven it smells really great. May even make noodles and rolls.
