More Missouri

The trip to Missouri is always good... my niece, Nicole who drove down from Kansas City with her boy friend just to see us was very happy to see us... It had been a while since she had seen Cody and myself... She is working and going to school and i cannot remember what for... but she is going to school... There is Ryan who is a skate board nut.... he is very good on the board.. Ryan is the kind of kid who is a natural when it comes to sports... he picks it up easily.. in fact 2 years ago he came out to visit and grandma bought him a skim board for the beach... in less than 30 minutes of pratice he was just as skilled as the locals. In fact some kids came up to him to ask him questions about how to do some of the moves.... the kid is good.. Well i have survived turkey day... i am sure i put on some pounds.. so much for the diet.. oh well... i did go for a walk today... it was at the shooting range... my brother Bern and I shot some sporting clays today.. it sure beat going shopping.. not my thing.. as i see it shopping for Christmas starts about 2 days before the 25th... I look at it this way, less to look at, less on the shelves and less to decide on...... i like to keep it simple... and i love the pressure... i can usually get it all done in about 3 hours... well take care all..
