A big congrats on your 41 years together Mark and Joanie, that a special bond for sure. 
Antique stores and Farm & Fleet are my two favorite shopping places too.

Pappy I would say you have been blessed with a wonderful lifelong soul mate and that has helped make you the super person you are!  Some of us are just plain lucky to have found someone to guide us through life!  Joe

This little note is to say thanks to all our friends for taking your time to post happy wishes on our anniversary. We are so blessed to have you care enough to remember our special day and send us your kind words. It's friends like you that make all our days very special. We hope to see you soon. Thanks again, Joanie

Careful,the boss is in the house. What she said. Got all my goodies from our shopping put up or away yesterday,they look cool scattered around the shop,I just love old tools and such. No bow work yesterday but did take some time to shoot my yew bow,got to thinking just a month till Deer/turkey season so I need to start getting some stuff ready,especially my shooting. Maybe some bow work this weekend,I have 2 I need to finish before deer season/Mullberry and Yew. The Mullberry is almost done and the yew is ready to start tillering so getting them done should be doable.

I went bacjk and looked at it. It works out nice as a concrete stamp too. Cracker

[Pappy]

Yep, I just made sure they cleaned it good when they finished. No bow work yesterday,grass mowing and honey do catch up at the house. Now I am primed for the long Labor day weekend, bushhogging and bows, :)hard to beat that.
