Twas the week before Nationals and all throught the land,
Everything was going pretty much as planned.

The guns, all clean, were stored in the safe,
While Kolby and Mallory, those two little waifs,

Slept soundly while dreaming
Of big granite trophies all sparkliing and a'gleaming.

Team Kitty stands ready
Their aim will be steady.

From up out of Texas will come quite a group,
Stand by and let us give you the scoop:

Mark Pharr and the Steigers, both P and E,
Bill Motl, Paul Freeman, and a gunsmith-EMC-, Evelio McDonald, that would be he.

Others from Texas too numerous to mention,
They'll all be shooting well, which adds to the tension.

Cathys a'comin from up in Missouri,
She'll vie for the Championship, she'll shoot like a fury.

Augustin and Tony from out California way
Hope to take the big trophy home to stay.

Innocent Mary from Florida flying, she'll have a good trip,
Hoping the airlines her guncase don't rip.

Make your list, check it twice,
Then set your sights on a shooter's paradise.

A place called Raton, full of deer, antelope, and bear,
We all look forward to seeing you there.

Kitty and Mini Kitty

Santa Mary with her flamingo powered sleigh!

As told by The Commander.

I didn't think I'd be saying this right before Nationals, John, but you obviously have too much time on your hands.

Jason,
John just has a great mind and the ability to put it on paper...cute one Commander Kitty.

Innocent

Ahhh, I'm siding with with both Jason and Mary on this one....

Too much coffee for me, too much pre trip anticipation and excitement for mini kitty....(isn't it amazing how high a happy 10 year old can bounce?). Hurry, Friday!!!

Kitty

And just what does MiniKitty expect under the "tree"?

One word BB... Anschutz

Last time I checked, she has her choice...

Lets just say "we've set goals and expectations with relevant associated rewards and we are well on our way to meeting those goals and the rewards loom large.......

Kitty

So stage #1 was kicking my a$$, and stage #2 is whupping yours? Just gotta hear stage #3...

It shook me a little to find out Victor (the dog to your left) almost makes two of her...

Whatever the outcome it's surely gonna cost Grandpa $$$ ;)

Upside is that good rifles hold their value better than most investments these days......
