David's first Basic Handgun Safety Class

I realize it's about time I posted about David's first handgun training class. It was held Nov. 24th. He did an amazing job, (just as I knew he would). His passion for protecting others has really had a great impact on his level of articulate handgun training. Despite the freezing temperature of 30 degrees everyone seemed to really enjoy the class.

To learn more about why David is teaching these classes and if you want to subscribe to his Good Guys and Guns e-mail he sends out once a week, click the link below. He finds some amazing stories that happen during the week when gun owners either stop crimes from happening or prevent innocent bystanders from getting hurt.

Every time I pushed the button to take the picture he was smiling so sweetly but at the LAST second he would sneek in a goofy face....

Video of Whispering Roses Playing

The sound quality is not anything close to what it was like in person but I thought you would like to hear a little. Their CD is wonderful too! It would make a great Christmas present!

A Celtic Concert!

Saturday mom and I were able to go to a Celtic concert put on by the Whispering Roses. I was delighted when they asked me to take pictures for them! Here are a few of the many from the wonderful evening.
