Overnight visit

Went to my wife's cousin Larry's house yesterday for an overnight visit, Now Larry is one of the reasons why I wanted to move to Virginia, he is a down to Earth person that I Respect a lot. We have a bunch of discussions about how the world should be and we agree on most of it!

Well anyway I put my scouting camera up at his property yesterday to see what is living down there in Ararat. So this morning I drove my truck(in the pouring rain) with Daughter Haley with me and went to retrieve it, only to find a flock of Turkeys wandering through the trees, man if only I had a gun. But wait, I had my crossbow with me! So I snuck through the trees, caught up with them and was able to shoot one and now it is in the Fridge!

Picked my ATV up after having it tuned up and the carb set for the altitude, yes it is a little higher elevation here. Feels good to have it back being hunting season and all. It also good to see the kids settling in and accepting thier roles as Southerners. Where else in the world can you see a girl in a puffy pink dress riding an ATV!

Bump in the Road

Had a little problem with the home we are purchasing. The appraiser valued it $5000 less than the agreed upon price. Needless to say the builder was not happy (we were though), but hey do you want to sell it or not? After some more haggling, and whining (builder) he agreed, begrudgingly and very very upset.
Well any how I took the wife furniture shopping as we needed a new kitchen table, and she wanted an island thingy. After a a couple of stops at local furniture stores where the sales people followed you around (kind of creepy), we found the Holy Grail of Kitchen tables!
Any how they had Borkholder hand crafted furniture which carries a lifetime warranty! Whatever that means, All I can picture is a little Amish guy making furniture in his barn, but it all looked beautiful, and in ten to twelve weeks we will have a new kitchen table and an island thingy, all for a whole lot of money. Oh well I hope to never have to buy a table again. Then I think of all the hunting equipment I could have purchased, but that is being selfish (a Little)

Things are looking up

Took a ride up to the Highlands property today before heading to church, Michelle filmed the ride. Can't wait to move in, also had my scout camera up there for a few days and got some nice pics. It is a great place hope all goes well. Mike
