Veteran's Day

Papaw Ray had a big time this Veteran's Day. He started his morning off at NBES eating breakfast with Lucas and I and attending the program there. Then, he went to BCHS for their program where he got to see Cody decked out in his ROTC uniform. Also, the weekend before Veteran's Day, there was a Veteran's Parade. Papaw Ray drove his S-10 while Pete rode along. Cody marched with the ROTC and Lucas rode on the float with the cubscouts. I'm glad Papaw Ray had a good Veteran's Day with his family.

The daschunds came home!

A couple of weeks ago, I suggested Pete bring Scooby and Heidi over to the new house. The next day, he called me as I was driving home from work to let me know not to run over the dogs. After a nice clean bath, both Heidi and Scooby were snuggled up on a pillow in front of the fireplace and feeling right at home. I'm so glad we brought them in. I was a little hesitant about bringing them in but they have done really well. They are a joy to wake up to and to come home to. Lucas plays with them constantly. I got the sweetest shot with him and the dogs. I'm glad they are finally home.

Dreams do come true...

Cody and Pete went hunting this past Saturday. It was the first day of gun season and a day that will live in infamy for Cody. He killed his biggest buck yet, a 9 pointer that field dressed at 185 with a 17 inch spread and one drop tine. I wish I had been there. Yet, at the same time, I'm glad he and Pete have that memory of "Dad and son" time they will always treasure. I know the day was just as special for Pete, as it was for Cody.
