The day begins as we converge in North Texas to once again celebrate the life of Texas Cowboy in the fashion he would want us to have fun together.

[TheMom]

Thanks! I didn’t shoot because of the hand, so I had lots of time to take pictures.

The new round of antibiotics should help with the healing.

[no-to-illegals]

The two of you are wonderful People. Thank You both for your kindnesses shown to my Better Half and I. Made the time (together) even more pleasurable for Better Half and I.

This shot's destined to become a Freeper classic:

I don’t remember seeing that one. Ping me if it’s one of yours. I need a good laugh tonight. I’m tired and I’m missing all of you wonderful FReepers so much!

[Windflier]

Yikes!

Dang, Mom. You are some kind of trooper. Most folks would have canceled, with an injury like that.

Eaker, she’s a keeper!

[TheMom]

Thank you.

If my hand hadn’t been hurt, I wouldn’t have been able to take such great pictures.

[The Cajun]

What an awesome looking group (’cept for that weird black guy with the dead eye dick look :-)

Well at least you and one other guy had proper hats on :)

[TheMom]

I love the concentration on both of their faces.

[Windflier]

Tell Onyx we love her very much. It was a real pleasure finally meeting her after so long. She’s a treasure!

[smokingfrog]

Great photos!

(well, most of them)

[Eaker]

Indeed, for more reasons than you can imagine.

[Windflier]

I think we have a law-suit against Hap.

Agreed. Enough with the corporate stonewalling!!

I'll have my people call your people, then they can both talk with Attorney Eaker. We WILL have bacon!!!

We have four 13 year olds-all grandkids we started this year.One is a girl-Elizabeth.The guys are having fun with the kids.Three are going out again this weekend.here in Pa they have special hunts for the kids and stocked.

[Windflier]

Windflier, this is getting to be expensive. I may have to withdraw in your favor.

Hold the phone! Did you just say you're willing to withdraw your suit? Mmmmm.......I'll have to calculate the attorney's billable hours and assorted fees thus far and see how much you owe me for the trouble.

On the other hand, you could just share some of your bacon candy with me at the next Shoot, and all will be forgiven.

(true fact -- I didn't even get to taste it at the campground :-(

[Osage Orange]

Makes people think.

Wonder.

Ponder.

[Windflier]

We started her shooting when she was 12.

Good Mom! Good Dad!

That's the very definition of parental responsibility in my book.

On the 8th day The Lord Sayeth...

[TheMom]

That’s awesome.

Dearest TheMom, I cannot express my appreciation for all you did prior to the 'Shoot' to making my planning for attending so simple in the kindest of words to really say how much you are appreciated. Thank You!

Eaker, I'm dropping my law-suit against Hap. Am certain it was an oversight and having just a taste of Bacon Man's delightful Bacon Candy next time will be much appreciated and will be grateful for that taste.

Hap, Thank You for the offer of relinquishing to me the official title of Taste Tester for Bacon Candy (for the next 'Shoot') but am withdrawing in favor of Windflier. Have to believe that anyone that can make the moon shine in all it's bright light has more qualifications that I have.

Next time Windflier I want to enjoy a taste of the Moon with you and yours and enjoy a bit (a small bit) of that brilliant shining down light, please.

The 'Shoot' is over but the Memories are forever. My Thanks and appreciation to Everyone for a most memorable set of memories. Will be a time will never forget.

[Windflier]

I don’t remember seeing that one. Ping me if it’s one of yours. I need a good laugh tonight.

I was wrong. It was Hap and Onyx. I was going from memory, and you know how that is!
