I have had a pretty tumultuous past couple of years.

A couple of moves, my father in law's extended illness and finally death, and a couple of other challenges that just didn't leave me much energy or time for hunting.

But I am getting fired back up and have been hitting the woods again, so you will be hearing from me.

I am planning on raising a litter of pups out of my Rose female.

She is a daughter of Jewel and Pop A Top Again, and is a nice hound.

I am back in Oklahoma, near Talala, and am home to stay.

Thanks.

I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining, just explaining.

Just life, and we're fine and things are good.
