Since my beloved is up and out and doing stuff I am taking it upon myself to enjoy dad's day on his behalf. I'm still in my jammies, the kids are frying bacon and eggs, I might not move much at all today...
My uncle Dwight gave Joe a bow a couple of weeks ago. Its a real hunting-type bow. We know nothing about hunting-type bows, so Jim and Joe headed over to my brother's house yesterday for a crash course in proper bow handling, shooting, etc. Turns out Joe isn't a big fan of the bow, but Jim has discovered a new passion.
He spent hours yesterday afternoon shooting the bow. Twang, thump...twang, thump...twang, thump. After digging arrows out of the chip pile about 20 times, he realized at some ungodly early hour this morning that what he really needed was a couple of hay bales to aim the bow at. So up he got and headed to the feed store to buy himself $20 worth of father's day hay.
I am glad he has a new hobby. Sometimes it seems like he just works and sleeps and that always makes me feel bad because he spends so much on everybody else's hobbies. I say that now, but I just googled 'archery equipment' and see that we can spend a whole lot of money on bows, arrows, braces, and all the other stuff he can buy for his new hobby. Ah whatever, no matter what it will be less expensive than three motorcycles a year and 100k worth of medical bills.
So enjoy your bow honey, we love you and you deserve it!
