You'll Shoot Yer Eye Out, Kid


Now this is a Christmas story to remember.  My in-laws gave me a shotgun for Christmas!  As I opened it, all I could think was, "You'll shoot yer eye out, kid!"



I am not a gun person.  Hmmmm...turns out they've been worried about me when Paul's away on business.  Thinking they should be worried about me shooting out my eye!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  I'm looking forward to hearing all about it!  Leave a comment here so that you're entered to win this month's blog giveaway ~ a little picnic basket full of goodies:



I'll randomly draw a winner from all of your December comments on December 31st ~ good luck!

    Gosh Cindy. That is the last thing I could imagine getting for Christmas! Guns are illegal in our country. Unless your a farmer or have a very good reason, but you can't just rock up to a shop and buy one for someone!!!
    Please tell me you won't keep it loaded.
    Happy new year, my apron making gun totin friend.

    Did they think about giving you a canister of Mace? Oh my goodness, it looks like you might go hunting.

    Jeez...get a can of Wasp spray and put that gun away! LOL

    I can think of a lot of weapons they could have got you besides this big honkin' thing! I am sure this will be a Christmas that is talked about for years!

    Well, you have to admit, it was thoughtful of them. And it's the thought that counts!

    Hey Cindy,
    My son is a Federal Agent and the last thing he would let me have would be a gun!!! Or mace as a matter of fact. He said that "Perps" would use them on me. He told me to get a big can of WASP Spray and keep it where I could get hold of it and Spray it right in the eyes. Thank goodness I have never had to use it and I hope you never do either.
    Happy New Year
    Susan

    Hello Cindy,
    Now you are officially in the club of red neck country folks. I am thinking that a hand gun maybe more suitable for your walks with Twyla, just saying. Ha ha.
    Smiles, Paula
