So Nature Boy has been in Kansas now for almost a week, trying to kill deer. He's failed at every turn and has been having a generally miserable time of it. I'm trying not to give in to the overwhelming schadenfreude I've been feeling about the whole situation. See, with him gone I still have to work full time, be a parent to our children and run the archery shop. Only he got some of his friends to help me the archery shop and they are not doing a very good job, but they won't listen to me and it generally just sucks because this shop is our life and all of our money and, dammit, I know what's going on and they don't.
Anyway, my life is shitty and I feel a little better knowing that Nature Boy's life is shitty, too.
But! Yesterday it snowed, so today the Ubergoober did this:
Pretty cool, huh? We used rose leaves for the eyes, some beaded garland for the mouth and a carrot for the nose. He did everything but the head, which required my assistance. And then we watched "Harry Potter" movies and drank hot chocolate and ate popcorn. It was just a nice day. We needed that.

Just wondering how young Nature Boy is... Maybe he's ready for Bear Archery Right Hand Warrior III Bow Set, a perfect Christmas gift.
Claire - Nature Boy is 41 years old, so he's really quite beyond the Bear. Right now he's alternating between a Hoyt Carbon Element and a Hoyt Vector Turbo, 30" draw and 70 lbs.
snow already? aaaah too early, I am in Summer mood again. Maybe going on vacation in november to a warm destination isn't so good after all
Hope you feel less stressed!
I love rose petal eyes. That is awesome! And I know about people running your business when they don't know your business. It's one of the reasons I hate to leave town. I always come home and wished I'd burned my store down rather than leave it in the care of people who don't understand it like I do.
I still have nightmares about the wicked bruise I obtained while playing with my brother's 60 lb bow. :) I'm glad you had a nice day.
