Good Bill Hunting

Ok, maybe this one was a stretch but I think you’ll see where I’m going with it… hopefully.

Last week I fired my housekeeper. Yeah, after 5 years of service he had gotten slack and I just couldn’t put up with it any longer. If I pay good money to have someone clean my house then I expect it to be clean. I don’t think he had dusted my bedroom for ages and the shelves in the living room had cobwebs on the cobwebs! So, I fired him and Bill came last Thursday to clean the house. I actually haven’t looked that closely yet (We left for the weekend when I got home from work on Thursday) so I will see how he did when I get home. Just what I could see when I walked in the door looked good though.

Erik and Miss Meghan came down this weekend for the first weekend of hunting. Last year Miss Meghan sat in the tree stand with Erik for a total of 15 minutes before he got his deer. This year – well, it’s Monday morning and they are sitting out in the woods one more day. Yesterday they sat out until it started to rain. They both came walking up from the tree stand to the shop in the rain. I didn’t’ think to get pictures of them in full camo but I did take some pics of them cleaning the rifle and Erik showing Miss Meghan a few pointers on gun etiquette.






It was such a beautiful day on Saturday I was disappointed that I couldn’t go out in my woods for a walk but with all the hunters in the area and Erik out there trying to get a deer – well, I settled for sitting out on the porch with a book. But the weather has turned cold today – it was 29 degrees this morning when I went out to the truck to come to work. Brrrrrr!

Maybe Bill will be able to get out in the woods this week and get a deer to replenish the venison in our freezer (we hunt for the meat not for a trophy). I know last year he passed up a big buck looking for a more tender younger animal but this year he said if it has a white tail – he’s gonna shoot it! LOL
