I went home for Thanksgiving. Home has a unique meaning when you aren't there very often.  It was wonderful to see my wife and kids.  Man, I rolled in the floor and wrestled with my kids, loved up momma and I tell you it was good to be home in Clarksville.  I've been gone so much over the past few years that when I have really grown to appreciate being with family and friends.  Sometimes I think we take for granted some of the blessing we have.   I, for one, have much to be thankful for.  I got to hunt with my kids, see Pappy, Woody, Jon, John and others as well.  Here are a few pics of my visit HOME.  Life is truly GOOD.


One of the best things about being home.

Sometimes I think we take for granted some of the blessing we have.

Ranger...  Never a truer word spoken!

Good times are incredible to have but the "specialness" of them can be lost in the mundanity of every day living.

Hard times (or overcoming hard times) can really open your eyes to the wonderful things, people and places etc, that we have around us.

I won't go into details but after about 4 years of living in our own personal different Hells, my wife and I are closer than we've ever been, enjoying each other and life in general so much!!  I'm so incredibly thankful to have her in my life and that she lets me in hers.  (18 and a half years together, 11 and a half of those as Husband and Wife).

For me...  Life Is Good!

As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another.Why do you think we invented politics and religion.

My wife and I have raised three of our five children to adulthood.  The younger two are children we fostered as Fostered Parents.  The good Lord allowed us to adopt them and I don't know what our lives would be like without them.  As with all marriages we had our rough times.  Every marriage has them.  I told my son just last night, while we talked about him going to Nashville today to reenlist as a Sergeant in the Army, that wedding vows are about the tough times, not the easy one's.  Just like all of you I'm grateful more then words can say that that my marriage is strong and wonderful after twenty-eight years.

Life is good and it has it’s happy moments and it’s sad one’s.  Every moment spent at Twin Oaks with friends is a moment I cherish.

We had a young girl and her brother whom we became Foster Parents to a year ago.  They returned Home a few weeks ago.  I’m a Retired Infantry Paratrooper but that sweet little girl made this Bow Hunter cry like a baby when I returned her to her mother.  On the one hand I’m glad I had a chance to love her, on the other I’m sad I had to see her go.  Life’s like that you know. 

I’ve come to learn you can’t have happy without a little sad thrown in from time to time. 

Yes indeed Life is Good, and I’m grateful to share it with good folks.

Here’s a picture of that  little darlin.  Ask Pappy he seen her in his Cabin sucking on her second ever lolly-pop.  The bottom picture is of the my two younger one's, the wife, and the precious little girl.
