Texting while Hunting and the Sausage Adventure

The beginning of the month Curt was out hunting quite a bit in the morning. I would be trying to homeschool and kept getting phone calls from him. He couldn't "talk on the phone" as he was sitting up in a deer stand, so he would text us and we would get a voice message from a robotic woman saying things like "I'm up in a tree stand. Saw a big one. Haven't shot anything yet." Carrie would dive for the phone every time to hear things like "I love you Carrie!" and "You're so much fun." Then she handed me the phone. "Ummmm, mom, i think this msg is for you." I took the phone and pressed the buttons to hear the msg again. The robotic woman pronounced "Jess, you are ONE HOT MAMA!" The kids burst out laughing. Finally we got the message the kids were all waiting for. Curt's voice: "Jess, i got a deer and i'm comming to pick you and the kids up. Be ready in 10 minutes." Curt arrived with his friend Scott and off we went to the west field. We brought the deer home and Darren skinned it and de-boned it. We froze the meat until Scott came over a couple weeks ago to make sausage. This was a first for us and a lot of fun for the kids. My good friend Andrea was there. Not so much her thing, but she didn't let it show as her enthusiastic 4 year old got right in on the action. :)
