Duck Watching


Well I would title this "Duck Hunting" but I didn't bring home any proof that I actually went hunting...so its more like Duck Watching. Yes I did have a few shots but...uh...the sunrise was bright. Yeah. Anyways I went out with some friends here to Cedar Bluff(see pic) to do some duck hunting this morning...early. Word was there's 10,000-15,000 ducks, mostly mallards, at the lake. I'm not sure how accurate those estimates were but if they're true the ducks must have been stacked on top of each other on the rest of the lake. We had good time though. I definately need to go again soon...not only b/c it was fun but the duck stamp is expen$ive. Dang. Too much for me just to do once a year.
So I'm feeling better...cough once in a while but better. Just in time to work over Thanksgiving Break...yeah! I wish I hadn't been sick or I would most likely be in Texas visiting my sister right now. She and the parents are so stinkin' far away. Amanda is 12hrs south and the parents are 10hrs west(Wyoming). Either way its one day drive. Too far for a weekend trip. It really doesn't seem like I'm on break between working and not getting to see the family. Oh well. I am so thankful for my family and friends. I'm so blessed to have the friends and family I do have.
Well one more day of work and then I'll be chillin' with the relatives in Plainville at the grandparents crib for Thanksgiving. Always good eats...too much and always crazy. Until Dukey drops again...Much Love and Happy Thanksgiving...

Hi son! Beautiful sunrise picture! Man I can't believe I beat Josh, he always gets to leave the first comment, sorry Josh!!
We will certainly miss you tomorrow, but I am so looking forward to Christmas with you, Amanda and getting to know DJ better. I am really glad that you get to stay for a little while instead of the couple days it would be over Thanksgiving.
I have a answer to us being so far away, after graduation in May you can move up here!!!There's lots of jobs and I think they are still looking for someone to work with the college ministry here. Just a idea!!!
Don't eat to much tomorrow! Ha!
Love you and miss you,
Mom
