Out and About
Last week Ralph, RJ, Nani and myself took a ride out to Iowa to check out the deer hunting property and all we can say is WOW!! :) There are lots of ticks, but the deer sign was awesome!! Habitat, habitat, habitat!! A creek, two ponds, big white oaks, locust and osage trees and of course lots of ticks! It was about 95 degrees when we decided to walk the propoerty, and boy did we sweat!! If we get our Iowa tags this year, we have a really sweet spot in southwestern Iowa to hunt!! :) Deer trails that looks like motorbike trails!!
On the way home, what is supposed to be a 6 hours drive, turned into a 9 hour drive because of the nasty thunderstorms that we hit!! Interstate 80 was actually closed near Iowa City, due to a river flowing over the road!! So we sat about 30 miles west of Iowa City on I-80 for about an hour before we decided to exit and 'try' the back roads back to Illinois. The good news here is that we only had to drive thru water over the road once!! RJ thought it was fun!! Great!!
On Father's Day we cleaned the house!! Ralph was sooooooo happy!! It's part of that honey-do list!! :) LOL!! It rained so hard on Sunday night here at the house, it made our wood chips float to the other sode of the driveway!! So Monday morning we were out there sweeping the chips back! It seems to be the summer of the wood chip stories!! :)
We are leavingout on Thursday for Florida, to go hunt hogs & gators with Hoppy at Osceola Outfitters!! We always have a blast down there with the whole Kempfer family!! I have been told that I should be able to post blogs from my phone anywhere I get data service, so we will see how that all goes! If so, I will have an excuse to bring my phone out in the blinds with me and Ralph won't be able to yell at me for it!! :) I'll be 'working'!! LOL!!
Take care and be safe!! God Bless!!

Hey Alex!
Sorry we won't be at the TTHA Extravaganza this summer, but we will be in Texas the weekend of July 10-12!! We will be at the Wulf Outdoor Sports store in Athens and then Center!! I know Texas is big, so I have no idea how close we would be to San Antonio, but just thought I'd mention it!!
Thanks for watching the shows, we really do appreciate it!!
Take care, Vicki
Sorry RJ lost the game. Baseball was my other passion along with hunting and fishing. Just a little info Ralph it is spelled {inning}. I have to give you some grief now and then. PS I played for 5 years in the California Angel organization so I now a little about baseball.
Yes, Texas is big...and HOT! Today, i'm on my way to a friends ranch to hunt hogs with my bow. I'll be there for six days. 2500 acres, low fenced, and just four of us. It's like going to heaven for me. Was there last Nov. shot my first whitetail, at the age of 37, and with a bow! Ya'll take care....can't wait to see the new season!
Alex
