It's a beautiful day outside, so I'd better hop out there for a little while! I wanted to just post a quick entry, though, before I do. I finally, just now, got caught up on all my journal alerts. And I have bookmarked a few new journals to check out later.
Thomas and Eler Beth went duck hunting today, and Eler Beth just called me from Thomas' cell to say that he'd gotten one. Guess someone's going to be plucking a duck today -- not me! I'll cook and eat it, though!
Andrew decided not to go with them, as did I, mainly because we're more the stick-in-the-mud types! Hah! No, he had thought about going, but changed his mind -- probably too many games to play and friends to talk to on the phone! I just didn't want to go anywhere. I treasure my time at home anymore. That's one of the great things about me and Thomas. We have a lot in common, but we don't have to always be doing the same things together and we don't get offended when the other one wants to do something different. And it's a good thing the kids are the way they are, too. Whenever Eler Beth wants to get out and go (and she frequently does because she's a lot like her father that way), then Thomas is usually game; when she wants to nestle down here at home, then she knows Mom will keep her company! Of course Andrew and I venture out of our holes once in a while, too, you know! And sometimes Thomas just likes to stay cosy at home.
Well, I need to scat for awhile. I have laundry with my name on it and some dogs that need a good playing-with in this sunshine! More later!
*Oh yeah, and I plan to post in Dusty Pages' Book Shelves today, too. I've been looking forward to it.

You all sound like such a nice well rounded family. I use to like to go hunting with my deceased husband but had no desire to pull that trigger. Paula
I went duck hunting ONCE. It was all fun and games until my ex shot one...I was jumping up and down, walked over to it, realized it was going to DIE, and then I cried!!! I am not a hunter, I guess...JAE
hey, hope you get a lot more pretty days to play outside :-)
catch you later,
