I dissapointed my daughter.....

[DRR324]

Just wanted to update the status here.  Received 2 packages yesterday!!
One stave from John, whos wife shares the same name as mine- kinda neat... thanks John, I will be reading many of the build alongs to make this one work!!!
The other package was from Loyd, a neat little skin backed bow and some great arrows!!!  Loyd, you made my daughter one happy and humble kid.  My wife could not believe the kindness and generosity of MY trad gang FAMILY.  She told my daughter to start penning a thank you letter, and true to form Emily stated "already working on it, but homework has to be finished first, I will have it done and ready to mail Monday".  Not trying to boast, but just a bit of background, all 3 kids are all "A" students, but Emily has a bit of spunk to go with her brain.  She was reading and comprehending 8th grade reading material in 2nd grade.  When I asked the teacher if she could have done some reading comprehesion with higher levels, she told me she didn't want to go to the high school for the material, and was sure that Emily could have went higher.  She is a great kid, and spends numerous hours reading and drawing, and always has a quick witted tongue.  Really looking forward to shooting, and posting some pics.  The bow is a touch heavy for her right now, but by summer she will be at full draw.
Once again, a huge THANKS to John and Loyd, I too am humbled.....and Loyd, the #1 Emily was a great touch....

Dave,

My oldest daughter's name is Emily.  She turned 11 in December. She is smart but "spirited" as we like to say.

I have 3 kids, all straight A students.

My wife's name is Kristin.

I could have written your last post  

Your very welcome BTW.  Just pay it forward  

John

p.s. There is another John Scifres in Indiana.  He went to Purdue.  I went to Indiana U., bitter rivals     His wife is named Kristin.  We are the same age.  We have never met and as far as I know, we are not directly related.  As much as we like to think that we are individuals, we are all the same.  Thank God!
