Miz Anne went off with the Altar Society ladies this morning to a museum in Houston to see the Treasures of the Vatican so it has been pretty quiet around here. Suited me fine as I have a full-bore allergy attack going on, seems the pine trees are doing their annual thing and pollenating. George, I beleive the term "Green Acres" describes the situation around here. The Pines are billowing with pollen. Great weekend end so far. Durham Bulls game last night, crawled out to the compost pile last night at midnight to hunt some worms for fish bait, went fishing at the crack of dawn this morning with my son. Caught a 2 lb. crappie! Just wish it was him. Also, introduced him to a 30 x .06 riffle. He's graduating from BB' gun to .22. He has these amazing ideas that he wants something larger so he can go deer hunting with me. Cabella's is a dream shopping guide for him right now. He's 13 and pushing All limits. So, I brought him out to the game lands and let him pull a shot off on the 30 x .06. Just one bullet in the gun w/ me standing behind him for support. Now he's sure he wants a .22
