Had a great time this weekend. I'm sure glad that Travis got another good buck under his belt. I think he is now ready to move it up a notch on the next deer and if everything stays good at the ranch then it should be pretty possible next year. I was also wondering if you and Mama talked about paying Melissa for her painting. Mama mentioned to Melissa that she "owed" her but nothing more than that. She worked for no less than 20 hours and was disappointed that she would not be able to do the rest of the house as we really need the money. Our negative checking balance needs some injection of cash and Melissa had hoped to use the money to buy a few things for Christmas this week as well. If you haven't already, I'm sure that you can broach the subject with Mama without letting her know that I asked. Anyway, Melissa really wanted to be able to paint more and is upset that she wasn't able to "prove" to Mama that she is willing and able to work hard. She still gets those not so subtle jabs all the time from Mama about not working outside the home. For the record, she busts her ass keeping our house clean, clothes washed and ironed, meals cooked, and doing lots of things to make sure we have a happy, healthy, and well adjusted son. If there is a way (later) that you can subtly encourage Mama to hold back on these jabs when we next visit, it will go a long way toward ensuring a good Christmas for everyone. Anyway, definitely keep all of this confidential between me and you. There is no major problem here but I wanted to check off with you on this so we can help keep everything going smooth and folks getting along. I'm sure you see my point of view here. Thanks!
