The kids didn't get to finish with the squirrels Saturday but they are out there now and from the sounds of things they are evicting a lot of their nests. Joey came out earlier and ask if there was any shotgun shells out here and then told dad this year they opened the season until Jan 31st not the usual 15th, so that's where all the men and a girl or two is. Mine went as a driver hehehe! the oldest girl went to shoot something. My sister and dad are at odds right now, oldest niece wanted a 30-30 level action for Christmas so dad found her a Ballard (?) rifled one and sister got mad because all she got was a gift card. If she got the same kind of card I got she can get her own, just saying the pecans were good this year.
This was Tom’s first Christmas as a family member and he is still in shock. He gave his old white humpty to a guy at work after dad got a newer farm truck and handed the keys to Tom. Yes, he uses it for the farm but its his to drive period. The guy at work really needed a car and almost cried when Tom handed him the keys and title to the car. To say we have a new family friend just doesn’t say enough. The guy is a working fool too, he came out to help with the fences and really out done everyone else. Dad had to slow him down and let him know if he kept it up he would be getting paid like all the rest. He started to say something then Tom guided him away and it explained how dd works. I will put it like this, from the marks on the calendar the fence is a month ahead of last year.
Well they are back and from the looks of the plastic bags we will have squirrel soon. Well got to get my part in gear, knives and bowls out there and kids that aren’t helping in the showers. Sometimes being the mean old mom/aunt can have its rewards.
