Title: The Downpayment
Post by: Kingsnake on July 27, 2012, 09:42:00 PM
Turned fifty today.  Came home to a package from Black Widow Bows. It contained Mike Mitten's book, "One with the Wilderness: Passions of a Solo Bowhunter" and a Black Widow gift certificate. Not enough for a bow, but a decent downpayment!  Yea . . . I'm lovin' my wife right now....  :bigsmyl:

Thanks for the birthday wishes, gang.  Yes, my wife is "a keeper."  I will try to remember that during my more selfish moments.

Kingsnake,

Happy 50th!  Yes, you are indeed a fortunate man to have a wife who supports your hobby.  

I, too, just turned 50 the end of May.  My beautiful bride of nearly 20 years told me to go out and buy the bow that I wanted - her treat.  That is how my Thunderchild TD by Big Jim came into my life  :) !

What part of VA are you from?

Keep that wife.  Maybe next year she will give you a down payment for the hunt of your dreams.

That is a very thoughtful gift.  She's set the bar pretty high.
