Wishing you the very best from my throne, high on the plains at the Parker Plantation.
Life is grand when you have family for the holidays. Grander still when you have extra dogs boarding here.

My sister, Jessica, flew in from Toronto on the 20th, her best friend was scheduled to fly from Paris to Toronto to Atlanta on the 21st. Soizic arrived in Toronto and that's as far as the ice storm allowed her to go. For three days we tried every possible avenue to get her down here...not that the weather here was any better: record rainfall on Sunday. Over 5"!
We started our whole Redneck Christmas without Soizic, hoping she could join up with us.
We took Dad to the range. Not his kind of range, but he quickly caught on.
He's a fast learner!
Little sister didn't waste any time putting me to shame with her eagle eye shooting.
Making it look easy. The Uchee range in Tuskegee National Forest was all ours Saturday morning. Just as we were leaving throngs of cars were coming in.
Ditto the next day at the Lower Wetumpka Sport Shooting Club. We were the only ones there in the pouring rain. The range master, Stewart, was very gracious in lending us extra shotguns and providing lessons.
Were is that pesky wabbit?
Time to unwrap presents!!!

My Redneck haul: camo shirts, fishing rod, tackle box, shooting bags...what a booty!
The best gift of all was to have my dad and sister here to share in some fun. Unfortunately, my sister went back to Toronto a couple days early to keep her stranded friend from spending Christmas alone in a strange town. But, we certainly made the most of the few days she was here!
