Don't be fooled, I may be dating a....

Don't let the British accent fool you! I may be dating a red neck....

How many of your boyfriends, husbands, fathers, brothers etc. knew that September 1st is "Opening Day"?

Opening day for dove hunting season. I didn't even know there was a dove hunting season! I may be dating a red neck.


We in Southern California are use to the men turning on the Telly on a Sunday morning, searching for a bit of football, racing or even the occasional fishing show. However, there was a very sad face around here when he discovered there was no "Hunting with Hank". Apparently, 'Hank' is a hunting dog. I may be dating a redneck.

My older son turned 21. Did you know that 21 is the legal age for owning a pistol. I'm trying to teach my redneck to say 'pistol' instead of 'hand gun', as we in So. Cal only think of hand guns in the same category of mayhem and evil. The same 21 year old declined the offer of a 'pistol' as a birthday present. He was sent a very useful and excellent pocket knife. I may be dating a red neck.

I don't like bullets or guns and they all make me nervous. However, you should see the eyes light up on my 17 year old son's face when he was asked if he'd like to go to the desert and learn to shoot. Do you think it is genetic?

I'm in love with a redneck.
