    Got my Babygirl a metal detector!

    I looked for a used one for a while like this but they are hard to find. A guy here in town got a Compadre for Christmas from one of his kids and needed some money so the price brand new was excellent. My babygirl asked for one right before Christmas and I have learned to be patient. She is tickled and has gathered up one of my diggers and a pouch getting ready for her inaugural hunt with her own detector. If it gets out of the mid 30's today we will go!

    That is great, Jack! It will be fun hunting together, no doubt. It is those moments they recall later in life, treasuring them.

    I like that. All my daughters names are babygirl They just know who I'm talking too somehow. This Babygirl however is the BBG! She is 13, by far the youngest, nine years between her and the next youngest BBG. We have BBG Ashley, 13...BBG Nicole, 21...BBG Barbara, 24...BBG Joaney, 27...BBG Kristi, 29...BBG Katrina, 32...BBG Ashley is the blessed one I call her. She is the only one at home and well you know the rest of the story.

    Sorry, not to change the subject, but I could not imagine being in a house with that many women. Would have to make reservations to get into the bathroom!

    And a wife! Now just Daddy, Mama, and the blessed BBG thumbsup01. Oh and 5 Jack Russell's. BBG is an only child....at home, she loves it! What is funny in conversations the inevitable comes up between BBG and all the other BBG's. You're lucky, Dad never would have let me get away with or do that! You are supposed to mellow as you get older right? I definately have. I don't worry or sweat anything, lifes to short for that. Just don't mess with the girls in the family thumbsup01

    We are redoing bathrooms right now as a matter of fact. One is done, one is started, and the other is in waiting. They actually wore them out, just about. Good thing we live in a secluded place. For many many years now I just hit a tree when they were all occupied. I just taught my Grandbaby boy how to tinkle on a tree much to my BBG's dismay, she liked to have fell out, &quotshocked04:n't do that maybe that bush growing in a mall somewhere might embarrass her some day. Love that GBBoy.........

    Re: Got my Babygirl a metal detector!

    My BBG has hunted and fished and camped and cleaned deer and cleaned fish and cleaned rabbits and squirrels. No babydolls in the house for this one. Also she has a cell phone but does not use it. Won't wear a dress for nothing. She gets excited when she see's tools and shovels and wood to be chopped. All the rest were girly girls, this is my sweetheart and even though she looks it, she is not a girly girl. Can't wait to get her out there, too cold and windy today.
