GOBBLE, GOBBLE!! It's almost time to carve the turkey! We plan to go to Ohio to my folks on Wednesday and stay until Sunday. I am excited as it's always nice to go home. Someone asked me a few weeks ago why I always refer to Ohio as "home" and I said "because it will always be home to me no matter where else I go.' I guess that is something that you can't understand unless you have ever moved a long distance away from your roots! I'm hoping to see some old friends while I am there too if it works out.
Monday, Dec 1 is the first day of Buck Season, so the fever has begun around here!! Jeff has made me promise that we will leave "early" (of course, that is relative), on Sunday so he can get home and "get ready"! I never seen so many preparations made so a person wouldn't be seen, felt, smelled, heard, or in any other way detected! I'm always amazed that I am told to wash the clothes, but put stuff in them to make them smell like dirt......WHAT?? I would not be suprised if he took a sleeping bag (made to smell like dirt, of course) and slept in the woods the night before, or at the very least, put me on the couch so as not to have any human scent on him. Of course, that is the reason for the dirt scented soaps and shampoos, no odor deoderant (huh??), and baking soda as toothpaste before he hit the woods, so maybe it wouldn't matter who he slept next to after all. I do draw a line at the doe urine being kept in the refrigerator though!! I will do a lot of things that make no sense to me, a nonhunter, for my dear husband, but doe pee in my refrigerator.......not so much! So it must be delegated to the basement refrigerator. Talk about hunters perfume....... I much prefer Stetson. But we love our hunters nontheless and we are hoping for a good year for them and for us, the hunters wives, because we have to live with them and its much easier if the freezer is full and the horns are on the wall.
The kids have half days if school Monday and Tuesday and are also off Dec 1. I have parent teacher conferences mon and tues so I am holding my breath that they will make me proud!
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and are reminded of all we have to be thankful for! Our blessings far outweigh our troubles and may we all remember that as we carve the turkeys and eat our fill. I am reminded of the time Sarah and I broke the wishbone and I was explaining to her that whoever got the biggest part got their wish. She asked me if I ever "won" and got my wish and I told her that "yes, I got you didn't I?" and she said "You mean you and daddy broke the wishbone and that's how you got me......you wished for me?" I, of course said, "Yep.......that's what we did...." So, on that note........don't forget to wish on the wish bone! I for one, will NOT be thinking babies this year!
