Have pick-ax, will travel.

Went home this weekend and spent time with Dad. The weekend included:

1) An all-you-can-eat crab and tri-tip dinner on Saturday. It was a fundraiser for the high school FFA program. We ate all we could and then some. Dad and I had to roll ourselves into the house we were so fat afterward. Fat, but happy.

2) At the fundraiser, Dad and I bought a few

all-you-can-eat crab? homg. also, yum.

i love that you chopped a path thru ice for your dad with a pickaxe. how handy! (did you flex when you were done? because that totally deserves an arm-flex.)

The all-you-can-eat crab was pretty great. Turns out all I can eat (if I also eat salad, bread, potato, and tri-tip) is one crab. The college-age guy two seats down from me, however, ate four whole crabs and wasn't even full! Ack!

did you flex when you were done? because that totally deserves an arm-flex.
I wasn't even able to raise my arms above my waist for the rest of the day, so there wasn't much flexing going on. Hee! (also, ouch.)

You win best daughter awards for taking care of your dad.

I think Rusty still wins that award.

[sunbrae]

Hmmm. I think you're right. How about Rusty gets the gold, you get the silver?

How about we have a tie? *g* When it comes to Watching Sports With Dad, it's advantage: Deaver.

2 and 3) A ha ha ha ha. I totally know what you mean. I was part of a raffle once where one prize was a saddle. Although I don't know about raffles, but there is a truck dealership here in Capital City that gives a free rifle when you buy a truck in the fall.

I never thought about how strange some of our regular raffle prizes might seem to those who aren't from the country until I started talking to some of my city-raised friends. A rifle with the purchase of a gun sounds like a horrible incentive to me, but I bet they get a ton of business from that giveaway.
