A Very Good Friday

This morning, I went shooting with Scott and some customers around 11; we had a great time. I think Scott was right behind me in scoring by 3 targets. He’s really shooting well, and I’m excited we’ve found something we can enjoy together!



He came to town with me afterwards, and went with me to the field to exercise Zack and Zoie. MLH supported me in my decision to upgrade my digital camera to a Canon EOS 40D. Scott and I took it to the field to give it a test run, and oh, man, that baby will take 3 ACTION pictures per second. And it was fun playing with it while the dogs ran – we took sequential shots. Too much fun!


Here’s a picture of my brother, Scott, with Zoie.

And here’s some pictures of Zack and Zoie running. If I play through the pictures really fast, it looks like a quick movie. That’s one fast camera! I’m going to have fun in the hunting field with it, I know!







When we got home, Cherie, my angel helper, was here, so she got to finally meet my brother! (Bloggers always enjoy meeting each other.) After she left, my phone rang, and it was Little Brother 1, wanting to come hang out. Well, that worked out well – I had already thought about calling him and seeing if he wanted to come stay with us for the weekend. His whole family came over, and we ordered pizza and the kids played Wii with Younger Son. MLH was still out in the field, but came home about 11pm tonight. Now, Big Brother and Little Brother are playing Wii.

This is a picture of LB1. He's the most awesome kid, and an absolute joy to be around.


Zoie’s going to the T&T Kennels in Christoval tomorrow for her puppy hunter school. She’ll be gone for a while. We’ll miss the little huggy bear. See how red her eyes get when she’s exhausted?
Here, she’s telling LB1’s real little brother what she thinks about Wii. (Zoie thinks they all should be playing with her, instead.)
It’s been an awesomely beautiful day. Lots of fun, laughter, sunshine, and fellowship – how can you go wrong?



Have a blessed, happy Easter - and remember, He's the reason for this season!

Great pictures...makes me want to go hunt! (Ha!) I know you all will miss Zoie, but she will enjoy her time in the field more for it...right? Love those ears.

Happy Easter, Janie!

Chatelaine - it was!

Poet - you'll love it, wait til you see what I did today!

Sandy - It's a hard call, isn't it? I feed them together, but wonder if Zoie's been stealing a little of Zack's food.

Snooty - I loved the ears, too! I couldn't resist posting that one!

Scott - me, too, brother! More!

Pam - it was hard to leave the little munchkin...she roamed all over that ranch, though, curious cathy!

Karen - Happy Easter to you, too, sweetie - and to all of you!
