  1. I miss having the Grandsons shooting with us.

    At one State match years ago, I even left my posse in my daughter's capable hands & went & scored another posse at their request.  Great fun.

    And it was so gratifying, in this day & age when you can't take your eyes off your kids for a skinny minute, to look across the range & see one of the boys running with somebody's dog; to be able to send them off with "don't be a problem to anybody" and know that, if they were, they'd be dealt with as I'd have dealt with them.

  2. Been around a long time & have seen a lot of changes. 

    Original picture: because he definitely had that Mongo vibe I will give him a pass. 

    BUT, if we're going to have dress requirements, especially for a State-or-above match, I think you ought to make a bit of an effort.  It's part of the game.

    I do not know what Petey has or has not done to date, but if you will make sure we get a spot I will bring lemon squares & nobody else needs to know.

  4. Boxes & tissue paper.  Doesn't get any better for cats.  Great-grandcat Denver (it's all I can do not to call him Dexter) seemed to enjoy it.  His granduncle Otis - not so much.

    I had a true hick accent laced with some southern verbiage. 

    Stop that right now.  After years of schooling tried to "educate" us out of it, I have embraced my home language.  You wanna think that makes me stupid, I'll use it to my advantage.  We're talking the linguistic dialect unique to upstate SC and a county of two crossing the border into NC.  Throw in a bit of GA if you piss me off (Dad's influence).

    That being said, I'm quick to code switch.  I find that, if I'm around people I'll pick up their way of speaking.  I don't do it on purpose - it just happens.

  6. Last week I was blessed to spend a couple of days with family in Boston (a great city - a first for me) and attend Grandson #2's Senior concert for Berklee College of Music.  He played 4 numbers with his chamber group and 4 with his jazz group, including original compositions in both - super great kids and fine musicians, all of them.  It was magical.  I think it's on UTube - not sure whether listed as Berklee or Peter Sumner, if you're so inclined.  Sooooooooooo proud.

  7. A personal favorite: group of children putting on an impromptu Christmas play in Sunday school:  Joseph & Mary get to the inn..

    Innkeeper:  I got no room for you.

    Joseph:  Aw, man, you gotta.  My wife's about to have a baby.

    Innkeeper:  That's not my fault.

    Joseph: Mine, either.
