Waiting

The fate of a mother is to wait for her children. You wait for them when you're pregnant. You wait on them when they get out of school. You wait for them to get home after a night out. You wait on them when they start their own lives. You wait for them when they get home from work to come home to a nice dinner. You wait for them with love, with anxiety, and sometimes with anger that passes immediately when you see them, and you can hug them.

Make sure your old mom doesn't have to wait any longer. Visit her, love her, hug the one who loved you like no one else ever will. Because the brain gets old, but the heart of a mother never gets old. No person will love you like your mother. ♥️

An Inviting Chair of Memories


An inviting chair brings back many memories of just sitting on the banks of the Mississippi River. It is a hunting camp that I used to hunt at called Browns's Point on Kings Point Island, north of my hometown of Vicksburg, MS. I missed those days and all my hunting buddies.

Happy "Heavenly" Birthday, Rex!

I wish my hunting friend, Rex Howell, a Happy 65th “Heavenly” Birthday today. I love this picture of him walking out from a morning hunt at the famous Christmas Place Plantation Hunting Club near Eden, MS. He is with his daughter Erin and son, Spencer, on a Youth Hunt in November 2009. He is sadly missed by family and friends. HTTP://bodocktimes.blogspot.com

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Fred Bear

Some must remember that turkeys and deer were successfully hunted with archery gear long before gunpowder was invented. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Fred Bear.

In Memory Of My Hunting Friend, Rex

Today is the second anniversary of my hunting friend Rex Dean Howell's death.  For 15 years, I was invited to his family's deer camp at the famous Christmas Place Plantation Hunting Club near Eden, MS.  His son, Spencer, took a picture of us on a workday going to the North Cornfield to meet up with his brothers, Paul and Trent, getting the fields ready for the next deer season. He is truly missed by his family and me so much.  I will always treasure our hunts together in our great Mississippi outdoors.  (Deer Camp Blog - bodocktimes.blogspot.com)

Running Out Of Years

Hunt as much as you can. You will run out of years before you run out of your love for it.
