Merry Christmas from Germany

Unfortunately I couldn't go due to recent surgery, but here is my wife and our daughter and her two kids and husband.

I hate to miss a good Brunello.

They celebrated a day early so Nancy can spend Christmas day flying home.

This is a double posting, but I know some of you guys never peek outside of the CA forum.

I hope you all have a great Christmas with your loved ones.

Thanks.

We usually have a turkey for Thanksgiving and a goose for Christmas. We're just going to have the goose a bit late this year.

Re: Merry Christmas from Germany

It was great when I shot wild ones, but I haven't done that since I left Texas.

The frigging goose I bought yesterday cost $77.

I may have to sell a Wong.

Its too late now, but I'll keep you in mind next year.

I much prefer a wild one. The domestics are too fat.

Re: Merry Christmas from Germany

Merry Christmas to you also Bill, sorry to hear you could not make the trip to Germany this year. You like goose do you? Well if I get out for some this next year I will take one for you. Since I cannot dive anymore (inner ear is still an issue) I got back into terrestrial hunting. I have spent this season getting outfitted with gear including a shotgun, I even got Erika a shotgun and she cannot wait to go get some waterfowl.

Re: Merry Christmas from Germany

Good to hear you've found a good substitute for diving Jeff. If you end up with too many geese, I'll be glad to help.

In the meantime, maybe I could substitute doves. This is the scene under my bird feeder this morning.

Its probably just as well that I didn't go. Nancy got the very last seat from Dulles to LAX last night. If there had been two of us, I would have had to leave her at the gate.

Myself and my dad are the one two in our family that eat goose (Erika is willing to try it next time I get one though) so there is no problem with my gifting one to you.

I am so tempted some days to get one in our yard.

You are a true gentleman Bill, I am sure Nancy would have been more than happy to let you go.
