The Second Amendment is Alive and Well

My grandson, Brian turned eighteen a week ago. This makes it legal for me to take him to a firing range. So yesterday, we went to an indoor shooting range and killed a bunch of targets. It was his first time using an actual firearm, so we went slowly.

However, he got the hang of it and we spent about an hour-and-a-half exercising our second amendment right to keep and bear arms. It was an enjoyable afternoon. In another week, he will be staring a new chapter in his life, shipping off to Ft. Benning, Georgia to join the Army.

Nine weeks of Basic Combat Training, followed by sixteen weeks at Ft Houston, Texas to become a combat medic. From there he will return to Ft. Benning for three weeks of Airborne Jump School.

What the future brings from there, we shall see.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Okay, here's what happened when I called Wilma to wish her a happy birthday!

Me: Hi, Mom! Happy Birthday! Are you going to spend the day in your birthday suit?!

Mom: No, it's too wrinkled!

Me: ROTFLMAO

Hello, Hello!

Thought I would take a moment and post a greeting to all...Hello!!

Caitlin is home for now after finding out that being away for school is a bit more difficult than she thought - LOL! She took this past semester off and is enrolled for the summer semester at a local college in town. I am thrilled to have her home except that I suspect I saw more of her when she was away at school! She stays so busy working and visiting with friends that it seems we only have time to pass one another at the front door.

Eric is almost finished with school and will be starting high school in the fall. Par for the course he is not concerned with high school at all but keeps asking me when hockey season begins. I waited far too long to try hockey on him (having tried every other less expensive sport first) and now he is addicted. I must say the experience has been great for him - he bonded with his team, worked harder than I have ever seen him work and burned off some energy. For now he is simply gazing at his skates and waiting until September.

I am home for a bit. The company I was working for is very closely tied to the automotive industry and given current economic conditions layoffs were necessary. The upside is that it has given me time to finish some home projects and help Mom & Dad with some projects around their house. I am working on getting my resume out there and am considering taking my time by working temporary jobs until I find one that makes me happy. Sadly I absolutely loved the company I worked for. I had been there 8 years and was excited to go to work every Monday. Very strange experience! I doubt I will find something like that again, but at least now I know the environment I enjoy the most.

Steve, thanks so much for putting this together - it looks fantastic!!
