Faster than a speeding bullet…

For as long as I can remember Christmas on the farm has involved guns. This Christmas is no different. LB even got to shoot his first real gun.

I got to shoot my new revolver (hope you guys aren’t put out by guns. But I think the 2nd Amendment  is pretty awesome and important).

Even my dad got in on the fun:

And on a running note, my old High School finally got a real track! I had to go check it out!

All through my HS years we ran around the football field on the grass.  The grass was long and thick, green or brown. We dodged holes and made due with it. Going to track meets was a big deal because we actually got to run on a real track! Our times were always way better at meets.  And now seeing the new track made me want to be in high school again. Made me want a second chance. It actually made me wish I had track practice…I hope the kids realize how lucky they are to have such an awesome track!

Isn’t it a beaute!?

LB took it for a spin and gave it a thumbs up! Maybe I’ll get to get in a good speed workout before we head back East.

Well, back to enjoying some QT with the fam!!

  1. What a nice track!

    My high school didn't even have a track team, let alone a track. Otherwise I would likely have gotten into running much sooner.
