Transition

It only took me 6 months, some stress and sadness to get me back into the writing saddle.  Much has changed since I last wrote.  Guns are not the focus of my life, I promise.  So, let me update you on the life I lead.

Love me some shootin'!

Today, I think I added some spunk to an already exciting and wonderful marriage: I shot a gun for the first time ever! 

What is character?

In our house, recently, we've been having a problem with a little person lying to us about things--silly things, not significant enough to cause major damage, but important enough to cause concern for the root of the problem.  We are laboriously trying to instill in her (oh, she'd be mortified that I am sharing this with you, but maybe when she's in her teens and reads this, she'll appreciate that it was a teachable moment) the values of honesty and trust, but for some reason I can't seem to see the reason or cause of the lying.  Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees, but this has been a tough parenting lesson for me.
