First signs of Fall
As I walked behind the mower last week, I saw them - brown, green, crisp and dead - laying there in the mower's path; they were the first visible signs that fall is almost upon us. I realize that Labor Day isn't even here yet, but the dead leaves laying in the yard, the yellowing of the beans and corn, as well as the lower morning temps, are a sure sign that fall will be here soon. This time...
Abby’s first trip to the Zoo
With summer winding down, and hunting season close to kicking into full gear, the wife and I really wanted to do one last - purely for Abby - activity.   Then, one night while reading one of her favorite books, I instantly knew where we were heading - the zoo. Abby loves to read books involving animals, and she loves to name the animals as we read through the books.  She loves all the animal...
Moving stands, checking cams: No outfitter needed!
When I'm watching outdoor television, there is nothing that gets under my skin more than hearing the person in front of the camera say something like this: "Well......we're on our way to Battle Creek Outfitters to hunt for a few days. Jim, of BC Outfitters, has been watching a few bucks during the year, so hopefully we'll have a chance at one of them in the next few days. We're gonna get a sh...
The Aftermath
It rained on July 4th. And while the rain was a welcome relief to the retreating soldiers, as well as the victorious ones, it was not welcomed by the local residents of the little Pennsylvania town.  It came down in sheets, soaking the unburied bodies still on the field - some with hands folded, and others with clenched fists; it inhibited the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat across the Pot...
Nature: Life in Stereo
As the beginning notes of Round Here made contact with my auricles, I was in heaven; I had forgotten how incredible my Bose earphones were.  I could hear every instrument in the song - the chords on the guitar; the intricate timing of the cymbals and snare; the keyboard quietly playing in the background.  It was as if I was experiencing the song for the first time, though I had heard it many tim...

A Friday Thank You!

Posted By: Arthur on October 3, 2008 in Ramblings - Comments: 5 Comments »

thank-you.jpgThis post is strictly for one blogger.  I know that sounds mean, considering the amount of different bloggers who read this site.  But, in this instance, I feel it is appropriate to write a post that is meant for only one.

About a week ago I received surprise email from Blessed.  This email informed the wife and I that we were about to receive a gift in the mail.  I have to say it was completely unexpected.  But it was a pleasant surprise to receive such news.  The wife and I had no idea what it could be–we just waited with anticipation.

A few days ago the package finally arrived.  We could not have been more pleased with what was inside:  Some Baby Legs, and a homemade blanket/car seat cover/ for little Abby.

We didn’t expect a gift, but we thought it was very cool that Blessed, on her own accord, would go to such lengths to give us a gift.  So, in that spirit, I am writing a post strictly to her to say thank you.  The wife and I very much appreciate it.

    That was really sweet of Blessed. I’m sure both will come in handy.

    You are welcome Arthur – it really isn’t much, I hope you three get as much use out of the carseat cover/blanket that we did! You’ll find that when I made it I accidentally put one of the clips on backwards :) – it still works and I liked it much better than the regular covers during the fall and spring!

    Oh and the baby legs are great! My Lil Sugar can’t pull them off like she does her socks and shoes :)

    Wow, that was super nice of her! She really is a thoughtful person. Of course, all of her readers already know that…

    I do realize this is meant for Blessed and with good reason if you ask me.

    You never know what people/friends will do when you least expect it.

    It certainly was a nice gift that Blessed provided for your new addition. ;)
