Hey Everybody!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I don't think I have any pictures to share right now, but I will soon enough. Paul and I had a pretty busy week but it was just nice to be able to spend time together and not have to worry about grading papers and all that junk!
Alice, it's so good to hear from you! Paul asks about you all the time and says "Hello!"
Trish, I keep checking the postings for you and will let you know if anything good comes up!
We had dinner at Mom's on Monday since everybody had other places to be on Thursday. So we had turkey all week long. Paul and I went hunting for a few hours Thursday morning and didn't see anything. Then Paul went hunting again Friday for a few hours and got a 3-point. He hasn't been hunting in at least 15 years he said, and this is only the 2nd deer he's ever killed. Paul said when he worked for the railroad he never had enough seniority to take vacation days during hunting season so he just gave up on it.
Well, he was hunting on his dad's property right across the road from our house. There are some logging roads that lead all the way to the bottom of the hill but they zigzag and are pretty grown up. He actually texted me to let me know he killed a deer and I knew he was going to need help getting it out of there. I decided to be a good wife and put my coveralls on! Little did I know that he shot the stupid deer at the extreme depths of his dad's property. The whole time I was walking down through the briars and across the rocks I kept thinking "I did not sign up for this." Finally, we reached the deer and since it was only the 2nd one Paul had ever killed, I had to field dress it for him. Again, I did not sign up for this. But I did let him know that he is one lucky man because I am a woman of much knowledge and many talents! It only took us about an hour to drag it out and we had some for breakfast this morning, mmm mmm good!
We also got our Christmas tree put up and we baked a lot this week too. I'm getting ready to go back to school tomorrow and have been working on lesson plans all day. Ohhhh, I'm so ready for Christmas break! Talk to you all soon! I'm already excited for New Year's with everybody! Love you guys!
