Greetings-
It is a rainy Saturday, day after Black Friday in South Carolina. As soon as my daughter forwards it to me, you have to see the photo of the turkey in the tree in our back yard! I know, it's not turkey season, so we didn't shoot it, but a great photo.
In the spirit of a true homesteader, my son hunts every spare moment. He got two eight point bucks this month, the largest was 220 pounds. The photo is posted above. Now he is after a doe for Deer Mama's (me) freezer!
I am the eldest of thirteen children raised all over from NY to Alberta, CA to TN. Some of our homesteading and survival stories sound pretty funny now.
When I was 8 or so, we lived in a tenant house on a farm in TN. There weren't enough pairs of shoes to go around, so when anyone was allowed the rare treat of riding with Pop into town, we had to negotiate whose turn it was to wear the shoes so that you could get out of the car. (I think it was a '50 something DeSoto?). The loser of the negotiation could ride, but had to stay in the car.
Wow, I have so much to be thankful for now. All twelve siblings alive and well, and we all (I think) have running water and indoor plumbing:)
More later.
Happy Hunting
