Headed down to the cabin as normal for me, we have plans on putting up the big vendor tent and also the tent at the work shop today weather permitting , calling for some storms this evening $:-\$ [ what's new about that ]

so we will see, they are supposed to be gone late tonight so if we don't get them up today we will do it in the morning. Getting to close to put anything off any longer.

Got 42 vendors coming so I am scrapping to find the space as usual.

Really getting excited now, always a stressful but exciting time of the year for me.

Hope yall have a good one also. See some of yall soon !!!!!!! Life is Good.

The pot luck sign has a picture of PatB on it also.

If you need to find the cabin someone put one up, they thought I needed a sign to find my way back.

The ranges are set , Brandon wanted to do a good clean up of the target sheds while we had a lot of targets out, so we took out the rest, man I really didn't realize how many targets we had, these are all extras. $:-\$ Then after a long hard couple of days I went in to a nice deer roast in tomato's/mushrooms and topped with fresh asparagus , man was that good. Hope yall had a good one, I will see some of yall soon !!!! probably won't be on much the next few weeks, headed down to stay till it's over Wed. or Thur of this week. See yall in a few weeks with I am sure lots of pictures.

Life is Good.

It's getting close, Pappy and things are looking great, even the caricature of me.

Can't wait to get there. I'll be there one week from tomorrow.

Yep it is Pat, I am getting excited and also a bit nervous as I always do this time of year, some of the guys tell me to chill we always get it done and I tell them if you have 800/1000 people coming to your house to visit for a week how would you be reacting right now, $:-\$ although I understand this is TwinOaks it is also my house and my gold is for everyone to leave with a big smile.

When it's all over, Pappy people will be smiling but a little sad just knowing it will be a year before they'll be back...but, we'll worry about that then.

Yep, relived but a little sad. Headed down this morning to stay, see some of yall soon.By the way James Parker is already there.

Well finely home again, over for another year.It was so much fun I can't explain .Seemed all went well best I could tell and everyone left with a smile !! The Good Lord Blessed us with good weather that wasn't predicted to happen , just goes to show you no one knows but Him. Set a new record for registration at 793, almost ran out of food and parking but managed to get it done. Every year we say don't know how we could handle any more but always seem to pull it off. Plans go out the window and we improvise and get it done,Thanks to all that came out, seen a lot of new faces and many old ones, all I can say is it was Great !!! I will have some pictures up in a few days when I catch my breath. Thanks yall and especially the friends that stepped up to lend a hand, PatB /Greg and many more, you know who you are

Life is Good.

Couldn’t have asked for better weather. Great event all around. Twin Oaks is always a little slice of heaven. My wife is hooked and already making plans for next year. She’s been shooting in the backyard every evening and improving fast

Great job gang really enjoyed it.

Thanks, Pappy. We couldn't do anything without you and the Twin Oaks gang.
This is the guy that won my diorama and the last 2 of them too.

Ya lucky man , miss Joanie said he bought 700 dollars worth of tickets a little at a time and put a bunch in for yours. He does that every year, many thanks my friend, we call him bare foot Tom. I was going to post some pictures but back at the cabin since yesterday, Sister had a growth on her foot, cancer and they had to take her toe and some bone, think they got it all but I am baby sitting till at least Sunday, she is not a good patient 😞sometimes tough but Life is Good all the same. 😉 Pappy

Sorry to hear about Sister. I noticed her foot on Sunday evening. Hope it all works out for her.
