"A Hunting We Will Go, A Hunting We Will Go..."

The 'BIG' weekend has arrived!

Gentleman Farmer travels every year

with his 'huntin' buddy', Clyde,

to a favorite (shhhhh! secret!)

hunting spot that my dad

showed him, many years ago,

on the 'other side' of the state!

It takes weeks of thinking

and planning

and making BIG messes

ALL. OVER. THE. HOUSE!!!

But, I tolerate it, :~}

because it doesn't last too long,

he will only be gone 4 days

(remember this fact ~ explanation at bottom of post.)

this is his one hobby,

and he works so hard all year

that he deserves a little guy time!

~*~

Still, this is what I have to deal with

for a week or so before the trip...

(all over the kitchen counter)

(He requested his favorite cookies for the trip ~

the night before leaving. :~?(Gotta luv him!)

3 dozen just for him!

You can find the recipe here.)

(All over the kitchen/dining room floor)

(All over the living room ~ there is more 'draped' over
chairs and piled in corners!)

And I didn't show you the the bedroom
(a girl has to have a little bit of pride)
or the humongous ice chest full
of a myriad of dining choices!
(Would you care to guess who does the
meal planning and shopping
for this hunting extravaganza?)
He will be eating better up on the mountain
that I will here at home!
(And the poor man can't boil water!)
Again, let me remind you, this is for 4 days!
(I will remain at home ~ cleaning and
putting the place back in order! It will
probably take me 4 days!)
I wonder what Clyde's bringing?

And then here is what I took for a two
week stay with my daughter in
New York...


Just sayin'!
;~D
