Seasons are a changing.

Wow its been almost two months since I wrote. I have been busy getting ready for winter, hunting and just enjoying the outdoors. We have cut over 3 and ½ chords of wood. Put in a new storage shed and the guest bed room is getting a bathroom added. The house is about 90% winterized just a few small things left.

Hunting was wonderful not many deer, but the fishing was fun. The company of Sheldon and Pete was great I enjoy hunting with them. We spent more time looking for deer than actually seeing any. Just don’t understand where the deer are this year. I even took Paul, and Raylene out this weekend and we did not see anything. I did get to shoot the 357 this weekend and was actually hitting the clay at about 50 yards using 38 ammo. Most impressive!!!!!!

I plan on tearing out the interior of the Jeep this winter, but would like to get one last run in before that. I think the club has a adopt a trail clean up in a weekend or tw0, I hope to attend that.

The best thing about this time of the year is the autumn colors in the forest. Raylene and I sat on the deck in our wicker chairs just looking at the trees, sky and leaves enjoying the colors the nice brisk air and spending time chatting about nothing. I really love the browns, green colors of autumn, and the sounds of the squirrels and other animals foraging for food and making their winter homes. I feel this gives one the tranquility of nature and the feeling of the forest. If you can take somebody you love out and just sit and listen to the seasons change, if you are not able to do that then just stop and look at a tree or simply take a deep breath and enjoy the fall.

Growing up and brother wheeling

Buster is gone, but will never be forgotten. I will miss the red Bronco. With that said I am looking forward to building the Frog this weakened.

This weekend my boy Paul II had his 4th birthday party, he was such a big boy wanting to play, and running free. My wife through him a nice party with his friends, and family he really seemed to enjoy himself. Paul is getting so big so fast, he asks me to go wheeling, hunting all the things that Daddies should do. I really enjoy the boy he is so much fun. I hope to get the seat belts in the rear of the Bronco this weekend so we can go out wheeling before the snow comes.

Due to family stuff, I have not got out much this year to wheel, but my brother on the other hand has wheeled a bunch. Here is some video of him wheeling on Fordyce trail and a few others. http://wheelingpiazzas.com/ST2005/video/ST22005.wmv http://wheelingpiazzas.com/ST2005/video/ST22005.wmv

I hope to get out soon and go wheeling. Stay tuned.

Just a Thought.

Today a person who was very dear to me passed on. I learned many lessons from this woman. Most of which are summed up in few thoughts.

First is Family: Take the good with the bad, just love them for who they are and always keep your door open. Sometimes you may want them, sometimes you may not. Just keep your door open. No matter how you feel keep the door open to them. The ones that love you will always be there with a smile on their face; all others will have envy on theirs.

Second is the Power of Family and Friends: When there is a bump in the road just smile aim at it and wheel through it. You may get stuck, but there will always be a friend to pull you out. Just follow the line and do your best, know that if you have good intentions in your heart you will make it through the trial of life.

Last but not least. Grandmas always know that cookies are the food of the soul. If you ever asked to give guidance just remember that a cookie and a ear is all a person needs to find the right path.

I will miss you Grandma.
