"Huge Smiles" from a long box for my daughter
« on: August 01, 2010, 10:43:00 AM »
Gotta give thanks to Chris Surtees for putting a smile big as Texas on my daughter face yesterday. He sent her this little Bear recurve, which I kept a secret. A couple weeks ago, she told me she wanted a bow that makes a loud sound when it hits the target like dad's, LOL. The little all fiberglass bow she has wasn't much stronger than a tight rubberband, so the seed was planted to be looking. We were having a garage sale Sat morning when the mail lady pulls up with a long box addressed to her. She grabs it like it's gonna sprout legs and run off asking what is it, who's it from a couple dozen times. I grabbed the camera to catch her opening it up. Well, the pics speak for themselves. Of course, every kid in the neighborhood has seen and held it by now. I owe you at least one Chris for producing a special memory for her !! THANKS
