This picture shows half of the folks that came to my house July 16th for a BBQ. My Brother, Sister and their children were here from different parts of the country/world for a reunion, the first we have had with this group.There were several that did not care for the heat and stayed indoors. We had fried wild turkey, hamburgers, hotdogs, venison, cowboy beans on an open fire, and fresh green beans and salads, cake, and homemade ice cream. It was just pretty darn good eating. Had 27 people for the afternoon and evening. This picture shows some shooting lessons taking place with my nephew and his girlfriend. Jess had never shot a gun, been on a tractor, ATV, hayride or been around folks that live as we do here but she has done those things now.. She was a good sport and willing to try new things. Considering that she works as the coordinator for the Presidents traveling I was impressed that she would shoot with us and discuss the farm life, a 180 from the White House. Here my Bro is showing his skill with his 1858 .44 Civil War pistol. He is quite good with this gun out to 40 yards. His daughters boyfriend who is from Russia had never shot a gun either but he was a natural. After explaining the fundamentals to him, he never missed a shot at the still targets with rifle or handgun. He was real good with my .40 S&W, finally had to take it away from him, couldn't stand it anymore.

Looks like a great time. Nothing beats country living and being about to see family that you don't see often. I have missed too many family reunions, I need my butt kicked for not making all of them.

Well 4Pointer I did not take the city girl fishing but my Nephew did. I now have a 6 foot rod with a Zebco 33 reel at the bottom of our Catfish Pond at the East farm. It may still have a good sized catfish on it too. I heard she laid the rod down on the dock and you know the rest of the story, just can't do that and expect to go home with all your gear.
