Ok, it's crunch time - I'm getting ready for all this to be over with - year end stuff at work. I'm about to pull my hair out. Everything is due out and in by the end of January, so after tomorrow I can breathe again. Just wanted to check in and tell you I haven't disappeared. I will be back.I thought I'd show you a funny picture that I had on my work computer. Talk about red-neck. The kid on the right is my #2 son Josh. The fun thing that he's into right now is bow-fishing at the Sabine river bottom. They don't care what kind of fish they shoot, they just like to shoot. I guess it's fun to get your spotlight and go out at night on the river bottom with the varmints, snakes, mosquitos, etc (gators?) in your flatbottom boat and shoot carp and gar and other assorted trash fish. Of course we always have to bring them home and get our picture made with our trophies. Josh said you never know who or what you're going to see on the river bottom. Scares me - I don't like him going, but he's grown and what can I say... He said one night, they felt like they were in the movie "Deliverance" - they saw some dark dangerous lookin guys out there on the river and decided it was time to skeedaddle (I'm sure at night, any stranger looks dark and dangerous - who knows, Josh and his friend may look dark and dangerous at night...). Good move... told you it'd been better if me and my clan had been born back 100 years ago - lotsa redneck runs through our veins on both sides. Much to the chagrin of my Princess (and sometimes embarrassment) she'd rather be more classy I suppose. Another example - when my #1 son Adam was at A&M and several of them sharing a house, the window treatments in the living room were 100's of Skoal cans stacked up in geometric designs to cover the windows and they had a huge screen TV with about 8 recliners all pointed towards the TV - very classy. That's it. ................. Is it possible to be classy and redneck at the same time??????????????????????????? Later - Vickie
