We closed on the property yesterday. It's all ours! Bobby bought a new 4-wheeler today and we broke it in riding around our new place. Mike was out there getting his horses and yesterday he told us that he's seen a 9-point in there. We jumped up one today, but all Bobby saw was the "flag", so we don't know if it was a buck or a doe.

Discovered a spring and a "wet weather" creek in the woods today. Talked more about where to put the house. Went muddin' and got my good sneakers dirty. Hope they come clean.

Yesterday I had a touch of that flu bug that's going around. Derrick let me go home early and I piled up on the couch most of the day. Kept taking the Coricidian HBP and I think I've headed it off. I don't feel completely better (I'm sure the 2 hours on the 4-wheeler in the cold isn't gonna help), but I feel a lot better than I did when I left work at 9 am yesterday morning.
