The Deck Begins

It was a beautiful day yesterday, sunny and warm (high 60's).  The morning started with fog in the valley and it was a really neat sight.  An hour later and the fog was gone.  Since it had rained for three days straight the grass has turned green and it is beautiful.  I worked in the Crafty Cottage on some things and Tim and George went and got supplies to start our deck.  We spent the afternoon and evening at George and Lisa's enjoying the views from their front porch and deck, talking about world events and grilling steaks.  After dinner we had target practice.  Lisa had gotten a handgun for Christmas but had not had a chance to shoot it so, since George has a lot of land, a target was created and we all took turns shooting Lisa's gun.  Our target was a Mountain Dew bottle and let's just say it was a challenge to hit especially as the sun was setting.  It had been a while (3 years) since I had shot a gun but I did okay.  It was fun so today we will be shooting our shotgun for practice which will be interesting since it has also been three years since I have shot that too!
