Good memories. When I was 12 I got a bb gun for Christmas (what WERE my parents thinking??), and I decided that shooting a tire with it would be a good idea. It wasn't. It came back and stung me in the wrist. It hurt.<BR/><BR/>So glad y'all are safe and had a good time with your parents.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173872365261806154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-81517470035898100932008-09-21T22:58:00.000-04:002008-09-21T22:58:00.000-04:00Howdy Little Momma:)Cool!

The ranch looks like fun!...OOo, old world feel, I like that:)...That would be cool to see that much wildlife (not the snakes though, NOOO, not those:)...I like worshipping with brethren in different places too:) Yay, church wherever you go!...YUM, good food and family is always a win-win situation...Pequena madre, tu pelo is muy bonita, nuff said:)... That river looked like such a relaxing place! I don't know what it is about bodies of water, but they are soothing to me (strange I know, it must be that verse in Ps. 23 about leading us beside the still waters:)...Was that Precious Man Keith cooking dinner?:) A hunting ranch, hmm, my man loves hunting, I will have to show him these pics:) I told him, I don't think I could shoot anything unless I had to, but I'll do the whole camo, scent away soap, no hair products and a hat thing to be able to sit in a tree stand with him for oh, 4-6 hours if he wants to (I have twice, both times, I was mostly concentrating on how to sleep without falling out of the stand:) Oh well, he's a cutie though. If deer make him happy, Lord help him:) I luv him anyway:)<BR/><BR/>katiegfromtennesseekatiegfromtennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703849303062043642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-32072337319284796112008-09-21T22:00:00.000-04:002008-09-21T22:00:00.000-04:00Looks like you had a great time staying safe and d...Looks like you had a great time staying safe and dry! Funny, what struck me out of that whole post was the word "Lis". That is what my Daddy always called me when I was growing up.

What a precious time filled with memories! I laughed out loud about the "corn pooper" and the carseat- I so would've done the same thing! Safety is #1!

That is wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Thankfully I got my power on Thursday at 9:00 am. I was at my Mom's since Tuesday. I have power at my apartment but no internet connection or cable. I'm at my Mom's right now and able to send this blog. It's kind of nice w/o the distraction of TV and internet. It sure is pushing me to be more creative and do other things. Being a middle child, they say that "we" are more flexible and compliant. I guess that is true for me. I kind of go with the flow of things. But not always!!<BR/><BR/>Love, AllisonAshtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973410841118860524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-31266256222639657922008-09-20T15:35:00.000-04:002008-09-20T15:35:00.000-04:00Sounds like fun!

I think I'll work on planning a day like that in my near future.<BR/>My favorite part is definitely the river. There's a river that runs through my neighborhood that has some really shallow parts that I love to walk through. Definitely with shoes, though. Sad that Jackson man hurt his foot! <BR/>Thanks for sharing the pics!!! We were all definitely praying for you and your family during the hurricane!

How nice that you had a place to go. And to be with your folks. <BR/><BR/>The closest thing we have to that is when we get a massive snowstorm and the police tell everyone to stay home. We only get one of those every few years. I'd like them more often. It seems almost decadent to stay home.

There are no sunsets anywhere else in the world, well except maybe Israel, like West Texas. And to have the San Saba River to talk to you..what a place to rest and refresh, I am sure you, and your parents love it. If you dad is feeding the deer I sure that if the "girls" would have stayed in the house, the deer would have come ask where supper was. Did you get to enjoy the bats flying from the barn in the evenings? They are a sight to behold. Rustic is always wonderful, for a time, but a regular diet?
