Great pics! The rifle...that's not a Lee-Enfield, is it?!?!?! And the Taylor is purty.

Yeah, Patrick's Day is tough for me now with my Reformational principles. Part of me wants to wear orange for the Protestants, and then my Irish Catholic ancestry...the problem is solved that I don't have any orange in my wardrobe anyway. Ha!

Colin said...

Arrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh..........."The problem is solved in that I don't..."

I must proofread my comments before posting. Sorry about that. ;-)

Grace is old enough to graduate!?!?! She looks sooooooo cute in that hat...and that color blue is just her color...and I could go on and on about that picture, and I was going to until I saw Ruth...

*tsk tsk* Ashton, you've taught her well...assuming that it's a good thing anyway...

And yeah, I looks so tough holding that gun thing...:)

Ashton said...

Colin,

Yes sir! Methinks that truly is an actual Lee-Enfield! (is that significant? I'm semi-illiterate as to gun knowledge :P ) LOL! Well, er, that's one way to solve it, 'course, you could just go out and buy some orange-ish clothes. ;) Does that mean you wore green instead? And it appears our famous "Grammar Police" has struck again. *grins*

Tiffany,

Aye, 8th grade graduation. ;) Indeedy, she looks quite nice, if I do say so myself. :) Taught Ruth well?! What's that supposed to mean?? She's standing there with wash-rags on her head...I don't believe I've ever done that in the McDonald family's presence. Oh! You're referring to that survey email...ROFL! Too funny... And I didn't know you were Mr. Candler... ;)

Simply Tiffany said...

Ashton,

Hmmm...8th grade graduation...I don't remember celebrating that when I graduated from the 8th grade...actually, I don't remember celebrating when I graduated from the 12th either...what a poor neglected person am I...

Regarding Ruth...well, 'twould appear that it's for me know, and you to find out...if you can... :)

And what does an email survey thing have to do with rags on Ruth's head?!?!? *goes over to look at survey thing-y* Are you referring to the book on your head, because I wasn't...

And I'm not Mr. Candler...I'm simply me...:) I just threw that in there as a random aside...and you have to agree, it was pretty random...

Ashton said...

Lol...I bet you're saying that about Ruth because I left the ambiguous comment on your blog. ;) Though I must admit you've piqued my curiosity. What have y'all been discussing about me, I do wonder...

Ah, a random aside. Is that like the refrain part of a song?

Simply Tiffany said...

lol...us, talking about you? Well, wouldn't you like to know? ;-)

"Random aside" is used in a song? I don't recall ever hearing it...but maybe I have. What are the rest of the lyrics like in the refrain? Maybe it'll trigger my memory.

Yes! The Lee-Enfield was the standard issue rifle for the British army during WWI and II. ;-)

Ashton said...

Tiffany,

Lol...yeah, I wouldn't mind knowing. ;) No no no, I meant in principle. Meaning is a random aside like a refrain in a song.

Colin,

Oh! Cool... *doesn't have much to say besides that* ;P

Cool? Bah...that's like saying "oh, that's nice" to the chance to fire an M1 or a Springfield '03 or a Kar98. Getting to shoot the Russian Mosin-Nagant was amazing, for my part. ;-)

Ashton said...

Oh, that's nice...

...

;)

Although I have shot an M14s...them things are fun. Same goes for AR-15's...

Ha. :-P

Cool; my dad wants to get an M14s at some point. He wants to buy an M1 Garand, too. Some day...

In the meantime, we added a potato cannon to our little arsenal; if we shoot it off sometime this week, I'll post some pictures. :-D
