Cleaning smiles

In an effort to clean my house before I go mia for the next 5 weekends, I started cleaning my office. I was of the mindset that if it was not critical to my daily life or have a significant historical impact, it was going in the trash. I had to. A lot of the stuff has been hiding in a closet for more years that I know and has been moved in those boxes probably 4 times. As I was going through stuff, I found the following that made me smile:

They are handouts from my hunter’s safety course. I am not sure why I held on to them since they are out of date now. I also found a notebook with permission slips for hunting on other people’s property, information on how to keep invasive species out of the waterways and how to safely keep a firearm in your home. Fun things to find!

Thank you, George!

My friend George Smith publicly announced that he had been diagnosed with ALS early this year.  When he told me in late last summer, I was shocked and saddened. I can’t imagine the Maine outdoors without George in it.
