Still Here!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. You probably won't believe this, but I have been sorta busy. My book (MY Father's Gift) is quickly becoming a reality! The publisher/editor/printer Larry Wise of Wise Printing read it. And he informed me he "liked it a lot" and "he wouldn't change a word in it." He also informed me I have a talent folks go to school for years hoping to attain and never do, imagine that! God is good. He is ready to get to work printing the book, but asked me to read it one more time, just in case there may be something else I may want to add. I really didn't think there would be, but was surprised to discover there was. I have added pages to the book and almost have it ready to return to Mr. Wise. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and support! Please keep them coming.



More news:



A reporter from the Lake Charles American Press accompanied the boys and I on our annual Thanksgiving weekend hunt at Red River wma. The reporter's name is Claudette Olivier. She was on a working assignment for the paper, so I really won't go into much detail about what happened and prematurely steal her thunder.



One of her tasks was to read "My Father's Gift" and she did. However she didn't tell me what she thought of it and I nervously await the verdict. She did tell me she obtained enough material for several newspaper articles, so be looking for it in the outdoors section of the "press."



It was a lot of fun to have Claudette around and she is a real outdoorswoman. She said she really enjoyed the trip and looks forward to returning. My three sons Daniel, Matthew, Chris, and I certainly enjoyed having Claudette there and are looking forward to her return.



I'll try to do better in keeping you posted, but for right now, I've got to say goodbye and get back to work!
