Thats great Phil!

Whats the secret? :dk:

We were both brought up in church and are both Christians and continue to be involved in the church, most of the time... Except during hunting season when I worship in that big open church with no walls and no ceiling....

Doing a lot of \"honey do\'s\" during the off season and hunting every day I could during our 5 months of deer and duck season was normal to both of us...

There were several duck seasons I hunted every day since I was working shift work and could go either in the morning or afternoon... :lol: :lol:

I think the \"honey do\'s\" during off season may have been the main reason though.... :haha: :haha:

When I became disabled in 2007 I always blame that on not elk hunting for the 2 years before that...

She retired in 2012 and started going with me some but all she likes to do is read and watch the critters when they show themselves...

So the secret is--------We both loved each other from the 1st time we met and still do... :upthumb: :upthumb:

Don\'t get me wrong we\'ve had tough times along the way along with the good but together and with the Lords help we made it this far, so I figure we\'ll make it on down the road until the Lord calls us HOME... :upthumb: :upthumb: :upthumb: :upthumb:
