Crochet Me Crazy

Last night Jeff got the call from a friend that they had shot some nuisance raccoons that were attacking peoples goats. (I didn't know they did that!) They left them at the stables for Jeff to pick them up if Michael wanted them. Well, of course, he wanted them! So they go pick them up at about 11 pm last night and come home with 3 raccoons in a trash bag. They come back and Jeff tells Michael he'll have to hang them up for the night until he can have time to skin them out the next day and then he comes inside. Jeff comes outside this morning to bring Alison to feed her goat and finds the raccoons dangling from a rope which is tied to the bumper of his truck...right in the front of our campsite! He had taken them out of the bag so there they were for all the old people to gawk at while they took their early morning walks! LOL -- I'm just imagining what all these people were thinking. I did have a lady catch me outside later on this afternoon and ask me if those raccoons were real that were hanging there this morning. I had to explain that my son, who is an aspiring taxidermist, had hung those there. Anyway, Michael got them all skinned out today and they are tucked away in the freezer now. He is happy as a lark. He finally has the money saved up to buy his forms to start the actual process of mounting something.

I close my post with more hats...

I think I'm getting even quicker at these. I can practically make them in my sleep now. I sold the another one to someone in the RV park. They bought the Coca-Cola one. I'm going to try to make a trip to town and see about getting a few into the consignment shop in town and see if I can sell some of them to give myself a little pocket change.
