A Happy Camper

I mentioned in a prior post that we went out to St. Peters for Mothers' Day, and to celebrate a few missed birthdays. One of the ones we missed was pretty significant, since it was Janice's brother Joey's official graduation into the "Old Fart's Club" - he turned 50 on St. Patrick's Day.

Since he is an avid hunter, and purchased a "farm" (to those of us who actually have ever been involved in farming, what he purchased was actually 160 acres of unused farmland near Clarksville, MO) that he intends to use for hunting, Janice asked for my advice for her to get him a birthday gift.

What hunter could be without his very own camouflage bathrobe (shown) for those deer that mistakenly amble into his bathroom at his farm, or a camouflage apron, oven mitt (shown) and pot-holder for those wildebeests that come too closely when he is grilling deer steaks on his grill? I'm sure none of those animals would notice the ruddy cheeks or the white hair and beard.

As you can tell, he was happy. Of course, this may have been after drink number 12. (hearty chuckle here)

If nothing else, perhaps if I ever changed careers, I could become one of those "personal shoppers to the stars" that you read about.
