I'm back online

Hi friends. I didn't realize it's been over a year since the last blog posting. I'd like to say I've been on sabbatical and resting, but that's not the case. I've been working my tail off and participating in a precious few more outdoor adventures. First I'm happy to report your prayers of support for the Dilmore family did very well. Eric is well on the road to a full recovery. I thank you on behalf my friends, Bob, Angie, Eric and Andrew.

I managed to survive another exciting hunting season and came home with a bag full of good stories. Although I ended up providing more dinner fare for the coyotes than I did for my family, I would have to say it was one of the most successful seasons to date.

In between hunts and work, I refurbished the canoe, continued touching up the old camper and caught up on a few more items on the ever growing honey-do list.

In most recent times, I'm proud to report my son Michael has just graduated high school and is reporting for boot camp June the eighth to pursue a career in the Army. He, along with his brother Daniel, now gives me two sons serving in the military. Please pray for their well being along with the rest of the members.

I'm also pleased to report my youngest son, Patrick, just completed the ninth grade and has been accepted into the prestigious Louisiana School of Math, Science, and Arts located at Nortwestern State University. He will be shipping out next weekend. He also bagged his first deer last season. And it was an eight point buck! I have to say he inherited both of his best attributes from each of his parents. Can you guess which came from what side?

There's still a lot more to catch up on but, we'll do it later.
