MORE KITCHEN WORK!!

Painting this weekend was sssooooo much fun. I DESPISE painting. But for my wife I will do anything. Very busy time for us. My cousin Blake came up to the house also. He lives in Royce City where all the cool people(like Amy's Dad, Lavelle and her brother MATT) live! Our intention was to go out to the deer lease Sat afternoon to do some work. Didn't work out that way. Time management was not one of our strong suits this weekend. We had a very good time nonetheless. While Bug and I were working on the kitchen(her mostly), Blake was outside working on his deer blind. This is his very first one to build or have. As a matter of fact, this will be his very first deer to harvest. He and I are so excited! Our friend Clay was generous enough to let us hunt on his 300 acres...for FREE!! Clay and I grew up together and are about as close as two people can be w/out being blood related. Then again there are blood relatives out there that don't get along like Clay, Blake and myself do. Clay owns&operates his own tire business so we(Blake & I)don't get to see him that much. We sure do miss him and thank him for everything he has allowed us to have in the way of a place to call our OWN deer lease. We, like our Dads before us, call it DEER CAMP! Clay has allowed us to carry on the legacy that our Dads left to us. We were taught so many life lessons in DEER CAMP with our Dads. Now Blake and I can pass it on to our boys...and girls if they desire. My girls will, I'm sure!
Anyway, a whole bunch of stuff was going on this weekend. Kinda made me stress a little. Mainly just because I am a pleaser. I want to see and try to make everyone around me happy and have a good time. It wears me slick!! I know I do it to myself but I just cant help it. Usually it works out but this weekend took me to the limit! I just wanted out and to let everyone fend for themselves. I even feel guilty for saying that. However, it all came together. Sun morning we took his blind out to the lease and it looked PERFECT!!! Blake did an AWESOME job on it. It was ALL him. I am so proud of that kid(35 yrs old!!).
Blake left to go back to his wonderful family(Dee-Dee, Colton,& Brooklyn!!)Sunday evening and we are all alone. My wife is still doing some touch-up painting. She is singing along with the Patsy Cline CD SSSOOOOO beautifully while she paints!! I sincerely wish she wouldn't stop. It tranquilizes me. I love to hear her voice...especially when she sings! She is so talented in everything she attempts! Now I know where the girls get it from. I truly love being in the company of ANGELS! I love you all!!!
