Adding another pack member

We have been talking about getting another dog and after some discussion and decision making, we have decided to get one. Crystal started by going thru local adoption places and shelters. Most of these places have their own websites with pics of the animals they currently have. After seeing how much some of theses "adopted" dogs were gonna cost (not to mention I hate the thought of giving money to some of these blatant 'anti-hunting' groups), we decided to try to find one from a breeder.

After some searching and cruising around on the World Wide Web, we found one we both agreed on. Crystal contacted the breeder and the one we were interested in was still available so we have sent a "deposit" so they will hold her for us. She isn't quite old enough for us to pick her up yet, but she should have her last vet checkup and be ready to go probably by next weekend. Assuming nothing happens between now and then, our pack will grow by one soon. So without further ado......



I will try to get more pictures up after we get her and of course figure out what we're gonna call her.

New ride!

After having my 4Runner for a little over 5 years, I (we) decided it was time to trade it in and get something more dependable and fun. So without further ado....here it is!



Oh how FUN.....

Busy

I've obviously been away from the blogging world for awhile. This time of year is always busy for everyone I suppose.

During the past month, Crystal and I were able to go down to the Outer Banks for a week long vacation. We spent the week with my folks as well as my sister and two nephews. The weather was great with the exception of wednesday when the remnants of the season's first tropical storm moved thru.

The following week I had to take a work trip to Athens, TN. We participated in a workshop on the Mayfield farm. Yes, the Mayfield farm....as in Mayfield Dairies. They are an extremely nice family and Mr. and Mrs. Mayfield themselves provided and cooked bbq ribs and chicken for the 160+ participants! If you like snow cream that we've all had in the winter, at least when we get snow, you've got to try their Snow Cream ice cream. It has the exact same taste and texture as the home made kind. Amazing! And of course, my personal favorite....



I hope all is well with everyone and have a great 4th of July!
