Hat Sold!!

Timberon Hat in Moonglow/Snowy Pines sold to Barbara in PA

~I made Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars, did 2 loads of laundry, swept the floors & dusted.

~AT 11am, I went up to the church, where Anne Meyer helped me put up the Woolly Tree. I had found a bag of hats/gloves from last year & Anne brought some more gloves, so we put them on the tree. I stopped by the Family Thrift Center(nothing), picked up a few groceries, dropped off the food bag, stopped by Big Lots (nothing) and dropped off Turtle Brownies for the Napa Boys.

~I spent the rest of the afternoon tagging hats.

Timeline...

I like to think of it as "continuing education"!

~Day 2 of Defensive AR 15 Class. Just a small bit of classroom time going over malfunctions, then off to the range. Warmups, baselines then onto reloading, multiple targets, etc. We also got to shoot a full auto, which i didn't care for. Randy says I have picked up the operation of this weapon faster than any woman he has ever trained, including military & police. We stayed for Date Nite. We had 15 people, so it was mainly timed drills.

Hat Sold!!

Flapper Beanie in Peppercorn/Wild Rice sold to Holly in MD

~We stopped by the office to set up coffee & pick up a food bag before heading down to the range for Defensive AR15 Class. We had about 3 hours of classroom time then on to the range. I decided to use Mike's rifle because it has a pistol grip & orange front sights which I have been practicing with for the past 6 weeks. It is a lot different when it comes to actually shooting! The guys always talked about how little recoil it has compared to most hunting rifles. Well, I have only shot a .22 rifle & this is WAY different. It doesn't hurt to shoot, it just has so much recoil that I missed about half my head shots. I will have to slow down tomorrow, knowing it moves me around alot. Overall, it was a good first day!

Costume

I started out with the idea of Alice in Resident Evil:Apocalypse. Of course, Mila is in the desert & I'm in colder weather, so I didn't go as skimpy. From the thrift store, I got the camo leggings, cream undershirt, brown over shirt, cord duster, neck scarf & bandolier belt(over shoulder). From my "costume closet", web waist & thigh belts, fingerless gloves. From my regular closet, western boots(not in the picture), leather belt, holster rig, canvas bag. From Mike's stuff, hunting knife, boot knife(not in pic), watch & canvas cap.
