Thank you Bernie for your service! I noticed your birthday is the day after mine so we have something in common plus we both shoot a Hoots recurve so we have two things in common...

Semper Fi, leatherneck, and thank you, Keefer - That's interesting to know too. Love Lee Hoots' bows.

I was at John Dills today and Cindy left for the post office with a bunch of boxes to ship. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed your name on one of the labels. Keep an eye out about tuesday. I'm jealous. DB

A dear friend of mine, who's e-mail i lost in a computer crash late last year, sent me a picture today (of a deer he got during the recent season). After I thanked him by reply for renewing/updating his e-mail addee, he then also sent another e-mail witha link to this thread. He commented that they were great looking "sticks" and that he thought I might be interested in the link. I couldn't imagine what it was until I clicked on it.

Preston (Roberson) it all came back with a flood of pleasure and emotion. Thank you Preston for starting this day off with a bang (and something in my eye) and thank Grey Taylor again for the great, meaningful gift, and all the many members for their heart warming comments.

As an update i seem to be my old self again and all I'm lacking is getting the full strength back in my arms and legs. With that in mind, I started back, on Jan 1st with my old exercise/flexibility morning program (without a resolution - they "break" too easily LOL). I was surprised that, but for one particular (hard for me) lift, I was able to start back with the same number of exercises and reps that I was doing when I had to quit last year when the UTI knocked me for a loop during the St. Jude Auction last year.

May 2013 be as good for all of you as (I have high hopes) it will be for me. Hope to be back with bow practice posts, etc. - as soon as Spring warms up these ol' bones. My heart got warmed this morning for an extra special good start -
