Happy Halloween!

Welcome to the six hundred block. Unfortunately I will be at work for trick-or-treating tomorrow evening. Joe should see some trick-or-treaters after work.
As our tradition Joe carved our Halloween pumpkin tonight. After this picture was taken, he got very serious finalizing the pumpkin face.
Happy Halloween, everyone!

Getting Ready for Deer Season II

Today guys went out in the woods to put up their deer blinds. They are back at their normal hunting spots after the entry path got logged last year. The old hunting spots are untouched. They had pretty good deer signs, too: all the bait was gone from a few days ago.

Getting Ready for Deer Season I

Joe has a to-do list before deer season, in about two weeks. Yesterday he and his little brother Mark went out to sight in their deer rifles. I got to go along with them just for fun.
On target....
Right on the target!
After this we had a little fun shooting. Believe me, none of the shotgun shells in the below picture were ours. This gravel pit site is a popular place for shooting.

Happy Belated Birthday

No doubt there's a big empty hole that Joe's dad has left. But very fortunately so many things stay the same. Many wonderful memories, and many more new ones.
Once again we forgot to take "before" pictures of our another successful party yesterday. Joe cooked BBQ ribs for Kayo's birthday to share with his big extended family, including niece, nephew, cousin, little cousins, aunt, uncle, future-sister-in-law, and her brother. We managed to document the stack of dishes and silverware we washed, which should tell you all the fun we had.
Today Joe and his brothers start getting ready for deer season officially.
Life goes on.....
