Curiously Enough,Both of my Daughters got the 'Ol Man one of those shabangy instant pop-up portable deer hunting blinds.....This model just so happens to be called:"The Outhouse" ! I thought it was rather fitting ! It has it's flaws by design. With a name like that,Id'a figured it woulda come with a Newspaper/Magazine Rack and a place to rest a cup of coffee! toothy Needless to say,they both told me that I was a Total Dweeb when I once again mentioned that The Greatest Gift Of All was the Gift Of Their Time with me and The Mrs. ! Ahh! The Life Of A 54 Year Old ! And so Christmas continues ! Gotta go bust out a one and done day at work and then pick-up where I left off with Christmas Festivities tomorrow ! I can find a way to Live like this as long as God let's me ! :up: :dancing:

I got a new handgun safe. The combination lock on the old one wasn't dependable, leaving me afraid the gun would be locked inside. A future son in law got me some "good" ammo, not the range grade crap I buy. Got to love that kid, he gets major points for that.

My best present though was talking to my son who is 18 months into his 2 year mission for the church. Christmas is one of two times a year he is allowed to call us; Mother's day is the other. He'll be home in August. Lisa
