One reason I never did do much bow shooting with my dad was that he was always wanting us to use compound bows that were *way* to hard for me. I would do well with a light bow. Was a fair shot, but he'd try to get me to use that compound bow and I couldn't draw it.

My dad - back then - was one of those guys that didn't think girls oughtta be doing that stuff. So, I didn't get to shoot much of anything like my brothers did. I was the only girl. He thought I oughtta be cleanin' and cookin'.

*sigh*

Now my dad will tell anyone that his favorite hunting buddy is my youngest daughter! I'm glad he finally got straight on that!

LOL!! When did the mini-skirted Boromir make his Hobbit Hole appearance? I haven't even begun to catch up from Tuesday, and I'm not sure I'll be able to be here much tomorrow!

Will try to chip away at it tonight, and I'll be a funkling away in a few minutes, I'm sure!

*looking around*

Hmm... must be here all alone now. Did a dumb thing for just before I logged off. I was putting some old photo albums up and briefly looked through one. Had pictures from the late 70's. Lots of pictures with Grama.

I was just about asleep and suddenly into my mind crept the vivid picture of her dying. Hadn't thought about it that real in a couple of months now. I gotta stay up a while.

LOL!--good work :) I take it she started with a lighter compound bow, then?
