Bill Gets His First Deer, New Dog & Where did November Go?

It's been a crazy, crazy 6 weeks since the last blog!

The shop has been non-stop busy since our big splash on Heritage Days. Droves of new customers, back-to-back knitting and crocheting lessons.

On October 29th, I drove to Marietta, GA to pick up a new Malinois, a one-year old female named Etta. She and Ozzie have become fast friends.

Bill flew to Illinois from Japan on Nov. 13, cleared up some business with the lawyer about his father's estate, and drove one of the cars home to TN on the 16th. Hunting season had already begun, so we know where Bill spent his time each day!

On Sunday, after spending all day in the woods, a dejected Bill came home protesting "I've been doing this for 20 years, and the deer always WIN!" On Monday, Bill came home very late after darkness fell, accompanied by his new, somewhat lamented friend:

So, hunting season is over for Bill, now he's hard at work on the Honey-Do list. Juli flew to Los Angeles yesterday to spend a week with Gran. Next Tuesday, she will arrive in Tri-Cities, to vay-cay with the folks. We're looking forward to being with her after her Annus Horribilus.

I think it's safe to say that venison will be on the menu.

Whew. Here it is, the last day of November. Hard to remember where the time went.
