A Flock of Turpins under the Christmas Tree
« on: December 16, 2013, 09:04:00 AM »
I had a turkey hunting grandfather of about my own age, put in a Christmas order a good while back.  Just finished it up and put it under my own tree to see see what it would look like.  All I can say is, - that there is going to be WHOLE lot of yelping under his tree when they are opened come Christmas.   May be a forerunner to Nashville, with all those sons and grandsons yawkin on those Turpins.   Hope to have a few more than this in Nashville.  Booth #14.  Hope everyone on Osage has a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a 2014 Turkey Season filled with nothing but big bearded boys. *up*

Thank's for the comments. 

Steve, 4 boxes are butt cutt black walnut from Chickasaw Co., Ms.  The box on the bottom right is an old piece of Whiskey Island, black walnut near Tunica,Ms.  A boat loaded with whiskey, supposedly, ran aground there, spilling it's contents into the Mississippi River.  My friend wrote about this in one of his books.

The ladies in that family will get earplugs for Christmas, I hope!  I once sold a lady calls for all her sons and grandsons for Christmas.  I saw her a few weeks later and asked her how they liked 'em.  She said they liked them just fine but she would never do that again! *lol*

Those are some mighty nice looking boxes, Mr. E.  Save a couple for Nashville!

I just about ran over Gail an hour ago in Walmart.  I was picking up a tent for my grandson's Christmas.  She said you were driving all over the country lately.  Just hope a 4 wheeler is not involved!!!!!!
