My New Blog Address

I finally have some time to blog and just as I try to upload some pictures, the message below pops up; "Whoops! You're out of space. You are currently using 100% of your 1 GB quota for photos."  I have to pay to upgrade  my space and I'm not doing that.  After consulting with my IT guru, Jeremiah, my best option is to create another blog, for free.  So, my new blog address is theprickettfamily.blogspot.com.  Please update your bookmarks, blog rolls, and whatever else you use to view our blog.  I'll keep this blog until I can find time to print it.  That''ll be another year or two I'm sure.  

In the meantime, this is my last post here.  When I have some more free time (HA!), I'll make it prettier and up to my standards.  At least it works for now.  Come on over to theprickettfamily.blogspot.com!

Thanksgiving Part I

Thanksgiving was so busy this year! We did a lot of driving, a lot of socializing, and a lot of eating.  We woke up, got dressed, and headed off to Jeremiah's grandmother's house...in the country.  He blessed the food, we ate, and then took off to go shooting!

Getting ready to take the first shots.


Here I am getting my Duck Dynasty on!  Phil, Si, and Jase Robertson would be so proud!  I'm pretty sure Phil would not approve of my Charlie's Angel pose.  But, HEY!  Phil and Si will always appreciate a woman holding a gun, JACK!


Jeremiah took us through the woods to get to the bottom of the river.  It was awful.  Every time the wind blew, I thought something was going to jump out and bite me.  I demanded that we take the road back to grandma's.  Once we got to the top of this hill...


...we had to go up this hill.  It wore me out!  It was so pretty but it was quite the hike.  He kept telling me old stories about when he and his siblings use to run up and down this hill AND how they played in the woods.  I have no desire to go camping or play in the woods.  However, the woods were easier because it wasn't as steep so I may try it again one day.
