Brilliant post, G. I'm a little behind here, but then what else is new. Gives one a different perspective in life when viewing everything from the back as it passes by.
Love your families subtle approach to life. Rhonda must still be telling everyone about the Von Traps (love that). And would be a hoot to see hub's eye/glance look too. Classic. (Ever see D.J. in "Be Cool". Another of my favourites, as well as the prequel).
I'm not real gun savvy, though I did take a pistol course, and never shot skeet, but am going to try it soon, as we sort of won a trip to the range for a day out. I'll keep you posted on how many poor little flat pigeons break up on the rocky ground vs. the preferred alternative.
I always get a kick too out of the total preparedness stuff. Though I wouldn't say anything about it to someone all Rambo'd to the max at the time. But it does seem a bit over the top. Then again, when things go awry, I'll be the first to hide behind them ( :
Have a most wondrous day
Oh dd! I am so very far behind on my replies! I have been lucky over the last 48hrs to even get a post out! I do so enjoy that my friend the movie buff got the Von Traps reference, lol, and I promise I will write you an almost never-ending epistle of friendly happenings in the am. Well, after I pick up, haul, and stack 4 tons of hay that is!
Be Cool Home Skillet! LOL
I just can't get enough of this Home Skillet business. Cracks me up to the Nth every time. You're doing better than me, that's for sure. I won't write a book here, as it only makes it more stressful at that end to write back. Sounds like your platter is running over, a plate just wouldn't do. Just remember to sleep now and then... ( :
