For Thanksgiving, my son John spent this holiday in Iraq. (thank you Bush)
After his 4-6 month tour over there, he got to come home for Christmas. John, (his wife) Tracy and (their son) Tyler live in CA. Such a long way from Ga. We did not get to spend this Christmas with them. Just glad he was back here in the States. (thank you Bush)
They live at Beale AFB in the northern area, NE of San Francisco I think.
We received news, Tracy is leaving today for Iraq. (thank you Bush)
We pray her tour goes well and she returns safe and alive.
Our Thanksgiving and Christmas went well. Tim and JP were able to join us in GA with Mom, Dad, Duane and his family. What a wonderful time.
My daughter Amanda and her son Matthew were unable to get to GA for either holiday. She had a recient job change and did not aquire the vacation time. We hope to see them durring the summer. She does appologize for not keeping up her blog. She said she will try this year to update at least once in awhile.(she can not promise anything at this time)
Scott has spent numerous hours in a tree stand during the holidays. I just can't understand sitting in the cold weather, in a tree, for hours on end. He likes it and has one deer so far to show for his efforts (or freezing his butt off) this year. He says he has seen quite a few but is being very picky about which he shoots. He does have one mount and is waiting for another "big one".
Happy Holidays to all and please y'all be safe and have a happy New Year.

I was driving with Jeannette about 9:30 AM today on Ann Arbor Trail just before Edward Heinz Drive and two deer crossed the road in front of us. It appeared to be a mother and child. I have never seen deer this close to home before. Perhaps those sitting in trees see them all the time around here.
Our very best thoughts go out to Tracy in Iraq dealing with life out there and to John to dealing with life at home without her.
Please be sure they know they have family below them in Southern California if they are ever down this way. Our home is always open.
As for the reference to deer, We were getting ready to have dinner last night at Mom and Dad's place here in GA. Dad was looking out the living room window and yelled out "Where is Scott? He should be here. This is where the deer are."....Outside the window, was a pretty large deer. Scott missed it. Dad was saying how he could have just opened the window and shot right there.(well...ok.. he couldn't in the subdivision...but a good thought) When Scott did get home that night, he had however, gotten his deer around that same time.
As for John, Tracy and Tyler, I have mentioned he has family out there in CA however I don't know if he has contacted John and Nancy. I don't know where anyone else lives. He does know that Colleen's kids are out there too.
It will not be easy to get John to drive down to see "family", he is too shy. He just does not know how accepted he would be with other members of the family. It may have to start with all of us here in Atlanta.
Paulette, that would be a doe and a faun.
