A new hunter is on the scene!

Dennis is on vacation for the next two weeks.  He really needs it!  Saturday, he worked until 3:30...getting off early by skipping lunch.   Then he took Rebekah B. hunting for youth season.  He had built a stand on their place a few weeks back to make it easier on her (and him).  They showed up here around 9:00 p.m. (along with a proud papa, Thiess) with a big buck AND doe!  By the time Dennis got finished skinning and quartering them, it was 1:00...and he still hadn't had time to eat anything since breakfast.  He was one exhausted guy!  But he was SO proud of Bekah!  He loves to share his love for hunting with others and see them be successful.  (No, this isn't Bekah's buck, but her's was very nice!)

I had spent Saturday cooking for our potluck Sunday.  We had 2 guest speakers come over from JH:  Ralph S. and Grady D, along with their families.  In between services, James and Renee were gracious enough to invite everyone over to their house for the potluck.  After an early assembly that afternoon, we grabbed a quick supper and then spent the rest of the evening visiting at the Browns.  It was a great day of fellowship...and yummy food! 

Dennis and I slept in this morning until after 8:00!  It felt wonderful!!!  After tending to some chores around the house, we drove to the Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine.  Dennis had a gift card that he'd received for his b'day.  We shopped for a good while, finding Dennis a new pair of warm hunting pants and some more jerky mix, grabbed a burger for supper and then went over to Grapevine Mills to see if there was anything we wanted to do there.  "Courageous" was showing at the theatre, but it was a couple of hours until the first showing and we didn't want to stay that late.  The aquarium was too expensive and we really weren't interested in the stores in the mall, so we braved traffic and headed home.

Dennis, James and Jared, Sherrod and Stephen are planning on going to E. TX to hunt in the national forest for opening weekend.  They leave Friday:  opening day is Saturday.  They plan to be gone until the following Wednesday.  They ought to have a blast!  The girls and I are planning to go to FW on Saturday to watch a movie and probably do some shopping.  I'm hoping they'll agree to a sleepover that night!

I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful November week!
