Welcome to Gilbert


Friday night I was welcomed to Gilbert with quite an interesting "ritual." Troy, the husband of the couple I am staying with went on a 7 day hunting trip and came back with a buck! I'm not much if a hunter but was very interested in the process it takes to get your "prize." Troy waited a little too long to clean the skull so he could keep the antlers...so the brain became infested with maggots and nastiness. Soooo....he had to boil the head, yes the WHOLE head in water. We decided to make a party out of it and be the hicks they are in Gilbert. We had two fires going so we could sit and enjoy the warmth but didn't have to smell the burning maggot infested brains. YUM! Nicole had to dig out all the meat so the skull would be completely clean. Man is she brave! She loved it..it was biology class for her.

The proud hunter and his brave lady...




















Adam serenaded us with this non G rated songs on the guitar, made for lots of laughs and getting to know each other quickly!
