I have a new hobby. Well, a dedication to stick w/the hobby this time *grinning*. About 4 years ago, when Hyrum was a wee little boy with a yen for sharp things, I took up knitting. I had almost finished a hot pad, when my adorable helper completely destroyed 2 days' work pulled the needles out of the hot pad. He wandered around with one in his mouth, and I debated letting him administer his own tonsillectomy as punishment. I vetoed the idea after I imagined the conversation at the ER...
Anyway, I'm now knitting again. This time it's a scarf, and I'm using fat, blunted wooden needles, instead of long skinny sharp metal ones.
And, in random but sort of related news, knitting needles are now on the 'allowed' list at the airport screening site. Hooray!

Jared went hunting again last Friday. He hates to go, but I make him. heh. heh. Anyway, he took our two dogs and one of his friends. They went after the red-legged devil birds chukar again; the season actually ends this coming weekend, but he's giving up that last opportunity to chase after birds [and possibly fall over a cliff and break something] because I'm going to Iowa!! No, really, that's a good thing. Lots of wonderful women live there [scrapping buddies, my sister Emily, the best darn neighbors on the planet]. Plus [and this is BIG], there are no children belonging to *me* that live there. Yet. :)

Oh, and this picture? Well, Jared got 4 of those chukar, and their little naked carcasses are now sitting in our freezer, waiting to be eaten.
