January Visitor

For the last week, we have been anticipating the arrival of "brother, Mike".

It's always fun to have him visit.  

He loves to talk, eat, and chug coffee.

Usually, we put him to work, as a CCW instructor for our training session.

 

But not this time.  

This was a trip based on relaxation.

He's only been here a little more than 24 hours, 

but I can honestly say it feels like a vacation for us.

Russ has someone to walk along side, and chat with, while doing chores.

And between chores it is lots and lots of coffee, good eats and chatter.

Just the way you expect a lazy winter day to be like.

And the best part of all, is...I get to see the love of brothers in action.  

It's a bond that can not be broken.  

Or even choked out of you...{smile}

Until tomorrow, dear friends.  God willing.

It's a Wrap! Two-Day CCW Training is a Success!

Our first training at Russ-Stick Acres,
in conjunction with Mike Slomkowski of 1st Defense, LLC.,
is completed.

CCW and Basic Pistol Training

Instruction was held at Cedar Bend Farm in Mancelona, MI,

just a stone's throw from us at Russ-Stick Acres. 

In the cozy Heart's Rest Cottage.

Several participants even spent the night at the cottage.

Two days of intense training, with a variety of like-minded folks.

Led by Mike Slomkowski, NRA training counselor. 

Hours in the frigid elements, at the range at Russ-Stick Acres.

Testing and honing skills.

It paid off, as this class tested extremely well at the end of the two days.

Congratulations!

We can't wait to do it again in June!  Join us!
