Guns, Deer and Chocolate

At a campaign event in Lebanon, Virginia in 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama said that he will not take Americans' guns away.

"When you all go home and you're talking to your buddies and you say, ah 'He wants to take my gun away.'  You've heard it here, I'm on television so everybody knows it. I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people's lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won't take your handgun away."

Why wouldn't you trust president Obama now even though he issued executive orders and backs legislation to severely limit our second amendment rights?

Does our president and his family deserved to have armed protection if they want it? Yes, they absolutely have that right. So does my family and your family and so do our children when they are at school. The second amendment guarantees us that right.

The NRA nailed it on this clip.



From Guns to deer. Bro. Dustin from the church here at Blair brought us some deer backstrap. Kelly Jo sliced it up and marinated it overnight in Dale's steak seasoning and I fried it up Wednesday for lunch. We all three ate it as we pulled it off the grill. It was so good! Thanks, Bro. Dustin for sharing such a great blessing with us.






From deer to chocolate. Kelly Jo and Odie loaded me down with chocolate for my birthday. I should be sweet for quite a while.




They also gave me beautiful cards and my parents sent one as well. I received calls, texts and emails from all over and two very nice ties from Sis. Esther Richards in Boston. UPS also delivered enough $1 coins to pay the off the BoggsMobile. Well, one of these is not true. I will let you decide which one.

10 Years On The Road in Pictures 2005 & 2006

Here are a few pictures from 2005 and 2006. We are loving going through these old pictures and remembering all of the good times with family and friends. There is also a little contest included at the end of the post. I hope you enjoy.

I think it is time for a little contest. Let's use the first two pictures of this post. First, tell me who the girl with the beautiful hairdo is with Kelly Jo in the first picture. Second, tell me where Odie is in the second picture. 

We will send a CD to the person that leaves a the first comment on this post with BOTH answers correct. You will have to be really good to know both answers. We will keep the contest open through Saturday or until we receive a correct answer. Guesses welcome...

Update: There were no winners. I guess I made it a little too hard. Several guessed by comment and text the identity of the girl with Kelly Jo and only two people guessed by text message where Odie was in the picture. The girl was Sarah Blanton (Paul Blanton's daughter) and Odie was in a gym on the property of Mitchell Boggs near La Russell, Missouri. Thanks for participating.
