What you do other than bottles

[RedGinger]

I enjoy photography, writing, reading, sleeping, cooking, geneaology, archaeology, doing crafts, love animals. It's hard to find the time to do it all, just wish I had more time!

Deer hunting, fly fishing, fly tieing, gardening, mycology, drawing, stained glass, glass blowing, skeet and sporting clay shooting, dogs, wood work, philosophy, old cars, history and most of all my family and friends. Life has been very tough for me for the last little bit, and without them I would not want to face the day. This is a great idea for a thread!

I have helped restore a poppin john tractor. It was what my father used as a child to work the fields. Old tractors do not get enough attention. They are beautiful pieces of American ingenuity.

Tractor John -
Not sure if this would be interesting to you, but it's not too too far from you, I don't think... not sure how many tractors/hit & miss engines they have anymore... back in the 70's before they took over Joanna Furnace, they had basically a whole festival of them... I know they still have them, but I'm more interested in the other stuff. Weekend after Labor Day for the Haycreek Festival. http://www.haycreek.org/festivals.htm#festival

I coach girl's softball as a volunteer at a Catholic junior high school. My daughter has been playing since she was 4 and by the time she was 12 I'd taught her everything I knew and turned her over to more professional coaches. She is 15 now and playing high school ball and playing for a college exposure team that goes only to tournaments where college scouts and coaches come for recruiting. There are 15 girls on the roster and they have played 5 tournaments this Fall. The 5 high school seniors have all received offers and one has signed for a full ride at Centenary College in Shreveport. My daughter is just a sophomore but she is already on the "watch list" for 5 schools.

I hunt, fish and enjoy being outdoors doing anything in general. I also tie flies, repair guitars and play bass and guitar in a couple of local bands.

I know you don't remember me, but you and I met this year at the Texas bottle show. At that time I did not know you are a member here. I had just seen your ebay listings. Had I none I would have spent a bit more time getting to know you. I was an avid baseball player until I blew out my shoulder. No amount of physical therapy was able to get my throwing arm back after the surgery.
