Great job Alf.  There's a few good things about getting old.  Take care of them, cause when all you kids think your crazy and senile, your grand kids will think your fun. ;D

Very nice to share ALF, thanks and good GRAND PARENTING,  do it well and pass on the Grand Parents curse to your children, just like your mom and dad did for you. " I hope your children are just like you! "

The best to you and yours. ;D

Congratulations, Alf, very cute. I have one, al;most 3, and even though I have been sending resumes and the like, contacting companies, I always manage to make time for her. Took her to the park yesterday. They are such a gift and seriously need to be cherished and enjoyed.

And now you have 2 . . .

Enjoy  - and spoil!   ;D

Congrats!

Still waiting for our first.  Tell the kids that when the timing is right for them it is right for us, but they get all the fun practicing and we "patiently" wait.

Enjoy and spoil her right!

Hey, YOU can still "practice" too!!  As for me and Mrs. T, we're at that point in our lives where we don't mind "trying", but God forbid that we should "succeed"!!   ;D

Congratulations Alf. Now where's my cigar?  ;)

Thanks everyone.   I really like the name and she is cute.   We are blessed to have 3 fine sons, three fine DILs and 2 beautiful  granddaughters.

No cigars but the latest batch of beer will be available in about 6 weeks.

For those interested, I will not buy a Chipmunk or other "cutesy" .22lr.  The one I owned was too hard to operate and too rough a trigger.  It did nothing but exasperate my sons.   I will probably take a quality .22 with short barrel (~18"), buy and extra stock and cut it down for them.

Again thanks for all the well wishes.

There's the kind of spoiling I was talking about.  I can't remember who said it or where I read it, but I once read that you can tell a lot about a shooter by the .22 in his cabinet.  Start 'em off right, and they will love the sport!
