Exceedingly Mundane

Guess what – Don shot his very first deer yesterday! As previously reported, Tim, Don, David and Fred went deer hunting at Tim’s parents house and Don shot a doe! Linda took some pictures, but we haven’t gotten them yet, so I don’t have any to post yet. I think the smearing blood ritual was observed, as is the custom over there. 😆

While the guys went hunting, Gail and I went shopping. Isn’t that what the women are supposed to do? 😀 We were gone all afternoon and hit a lot of stores and bought a lot of fun stuff. We picked up some after-Christmas things at Target, and I was very surprised at how much they had left of Christmas stock (I like to buy paper, bows, cards, etc and put them up for the next year). We also hit the mall and the Yankee Candle store, the calendar kiosk (Gail and I like to buy calendars after Christmas, when they are 50% off!), Bath and Body Works and Kirklands. We also went to Marshalls and TJ Maxx and we each bought a cute batter bowl in TJ Maxx.

Don, Gail and David spent the night last night and stayed up late watching a movie with Tim. I wimped out and went to bed early (still fighting this sore throat). The guys have gone this morning to the driving range to pound some golf balls. I think we’re going to head up to Gail’s house late this afternoon, Tim and I, and spend the night so that Tim can get up at 4 AM and go duck hunting with Don. Lots of hunting going on around here!
