As an FYI to my faithful visitors on this site. I am in partnership with my lovely wife and together we are setting up a Zundel family website that is beginning to take on a very nice look. You can see it at
http://www.abrahamzundel.info/
A fun thing to be doing to help get all the relatives on the same page. What we are seeing on others blog pages is mis-information about the family. You know, the typical, husband so and so and wife so and so had X children, named, blah, blutz and cuz. And of course they have the wrong dad and mom with the wrong kids.
We are perfect, so our word is the real word, and to quote a good friend and cousin of mine…”just sayin”.

A little silver-haired lady calls her neighbor and says, “Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get started.”
Her neighbor asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?”
The little silver haired lady says, “According to the picture on the box, it’s a rooster.”
Her neighbor decides to go over and help with the puzzle.
She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.
He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says,
“First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster.”
He takes her hand and says, “Secondly, I want you to relax. Let’s have a nice cup of tea, and then,” he said with a deep sigh …………
(scroll down)
“Let’s put all the Corn Flakes back in the box.”
The UWC wanted to have the opportunity to expose some children to ice fishing and GrandpaD and Adam were kind enough to allow us to bring these kids along and expose them to something that they may have never had the opportunity to experience before.
The future of outdoor sporting depends on the rising generations and we are so excited to have the opportunity to take 40 kids out for their first ice fishing trip! We are excited to give these kids the opportunity to try something new, enrich their lives and share our passion for the outdoors with them, but we need help!
We are currently looking for volunteers as well as donors for this event and are relying on our community of friends and family to make this a once in a lifetime experience for these great kids.
We are looking for the following:
-Ice fishing gear. Rods, reels, lures , tents, buckets, camp chairs, fish finders and everything in between.
-$Money$. We don’t need a ton of money, but won’t turn down a dime. All funds will be earmarked specifically for this event and future youth events. No amount is too small and will go a long way! (see link below ***)
-Clothing. Any and all kids warm weather clothing is needed. We’d like to see this event several hundred strong in years to come, so a surplus of toasty winter clothes will be an awesome asset! But we are currently in need of boots, pants, coats, gloves and hats for the kids to wear.
-Volunteers. We will need adults who know what they are doing to show these kids the ropes. If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the kids!
-Pass it on! Please let your friends, relatives and neighbors (Even if relatives and neighbors aren’t actually “friends 
) know of what we are doing. Please post this on your facebook and other social networks, feel free to put my information and the UWC facebook link on there.

I don’t know how to add a company to this page so that they might be able to boost their sales, but one has come to mind that I think every hunter needs to be aware of. Grouse Wing Camo is the name of the company. It’s a small operation right now, but they have the right idea for hunting camo in my opinion.
I love their sales statement as well: “Hide like prey, hunt like a predator”
Check them out at GrouseWingCamo.com!

I just finished reading a very good but short article about teaching our youngsters Geography. A very good point was made in that article. Our young people are being forced to live “away from” the very place that they are studying. Even though they are “there”, we have enclosed them in houses, buses, cars, vans and buildings, so they don’t notice what is out “there”. They don’t get to experience it, unless their parents take the time to go with them and try to teach them about the environment they live in. One of the suggestions in the article was to have the student write down every thing they could about the environment outside their home.
The idea is to force the student to look, go, see outside and then write what they observe. The hope is that the student will get interested in the “outside” space and eventually want to protect it and keep it like it is. I suppose that is a good place to start. But will our teachers pick up on that? Probably not, so if you are a parent reading this you might want to help things out by asking your youngster to do this on their own and you become the teacher.
When you think about the beginning of our country, the good old U.S. of A. A bunch of folks landed on the rock and proceeded to chop down trees and make themselves homes etc. The beginning of the destruction of our environment. But it had to be done, or they would not have been sheltered and safe from the very elements of the environment.
Kind of a catch 22. Save the environment. But have a home. Save the environment. But heat your home. Save the environment. But grow your crops. Save the environment. But have something to eat. And it goes on and on. You get the point.
Anyway, Geography, is more than just what is around us physically, like the mountains, valleys, streams and lakes. It’s the air we breath, water we drink, soil we plant in….even how the people live in different climes and relate under different religions. Geography is a wonderful thing to study, but it seems the kids now days don’t know anything about it. Why? I think the guy who wrote the article I read is spot on with his statement about keeping the kids “closed in”. We have become so protective of our kids, they can’t even fall off a bike without us making sure they don’t get a scrape on the knee. Heck! Asphalt is part of our geography isn’t it? Let them experience it!
