Airboat Fun While Killing Pigs

This has to be a new way of killing pigs.  Last month, Joseph Tatum and a friend went pig hunting in an airboat in the Pearl River.  In three hours, they had killed 18 pigs.  Five over 250 lbs and two nice boars.  My congratulations on a job well done!

I never thought of using an airboat.  I killed two pigs up in the Delta near Eden, MS, while deer hunting, when about 12 pigs walked out and were feeding.  Three big ones, and I put it between a big sow's eyes and dropped her, and then shot another one running.  

The sow weighed 180 pounds.  I was the talk of the camp.  So many memories hunting at the famous Christmas Place Plantation Hunting Club.  I miss it so much, especially after my hunting buddy, Rex Howell, passed away at the age of 62 on the last day of hunting season, January 31, 2021.  He is sadly missed by his family and all his hunting friends.

Happy 18th Birthday, Ian

I'm wishing my great-grandson, Ian, who is one of five greats, a very Happy 18th Birthday today.  I hope he has a blessed and memorable birthday.  I love you so much, Great Gran Gran.

Happy 37th Birthday, Victoria!

Today, my Granddaughter, Victoria Leigh, is celebrating her 37th Birthday. Born on Halloween, her Dad called her “Spook,” which fits her perfectly. She gave me my great-grandson Ian, who will be 18 in a few days. Victoria is a very caring and sweet granddaughter. I wish her a very happy birthday, filled with happiness and joy. I love you so very much, Victoria! Gran Gran xoxo

Happy 37th Birthday, Victoria!

Interesting picture of a tree that I'm calling "Roots" at the Rocky Spring Campground off the Natchez Trace Parkway, MS. I took this picture at my daughter's 50th birthday celebration 6 years ago.

Pictures Taken Building A Road Near MS River

My granddaughter and grandson-in-law own a business and took these pictures while building a road near the MS River recently. The last photo was taken by my granddaughter of the bridges. You can see the sandbar is way out on the Louisiana side of the river. The river stage yesterday was approximately 7.1 feet. Flood stage is 43 feet.
