Welcome, welcome.

You have found your self here: on Ellie's semi-kept-up blog.

Lots of tidbits and nothingness reside here. Don't feel obligated to read anything.

If you're interested, here's a random blog I wrote (+photos) while traveling in New Zealand in 2012: newsieland.wordpress.com

Hunting for "the" Deer



The other week, Tyler and Papa, went out hunting, to shoot a deer. (No?! Ya don't say?!) They started off early in the morning around four. Taking a long drive up in the Cascades, around Dead Indian road, they stopped and hiked into the woods, only to come out with two deer strewn between them, on a wheelbarrow/cot. (I actually don't know what it looked like, they just described it to me. Heh.) We went through the process of skinning, salvaging the meat, cutting off the heads and all the necessary miscellanious operations. It was, as some of you might take note of, a very messy operation, NOT for the light-hearted. :) Although, if I may say so, I proudly skinned half of Tyler's deer (which papa actually shot, not Ty's fault) and papa approved that it was "nicely done" after I proudly announced that it was "beautifully and artfully" skinned. (I know, I'm impeccably modest.)

Here, are some amusing, gross, and well... (you'll see. :)) pictures.
