Girl's Night Out

This weekend starts the deer hunting season for the guys. Mike is leaving for the weekend to go up North with his brother-in-law and a few other guys for three days of deer hunting, beer drinking, burping, farting, and other unsavory guy-type activities. The pickled eggs, summer sausage, and hunter's stew will be plenty.

Back at home, holding down the fort while the men folk hunt, the women will be having fun of their own. No one to answer to will leave many women to fend for themselves. We will find ourselves out with our girlfriends, doing girl-type activities. Some will shop, while others will hit the bars with best friends. A nice meal without the children and husbands is a must. Chippendale dancers will be plenty.

This ritual takes place once a year, giving couples the chance to "pretend" that they are once again single, even if it's just for a day or two. Once the weekend is over, everyone will come back together again, one big happy family. With fond memories of time spent with friends, and something to look forward to the next year, deer hunting season is upon us once again.
