So, the last of the Greater Schmalfeldts (as opposed to the Lesser Schmalfeldts) has arrived in Nampa, and the caravan will soon wend its way north to the Clan Schmalfeldt compound, for a week of family fun, family business and the annual meeting of the trustees for the family trust.
Our festivities for the 4th will include taking pot shots at 55 gallon drums at distance with a howitzer (all legal, and I have the tax stamps to prove it), and the “firing of the anvils” (a perennial favorite of the chillins!), with the patriarch, Grandpa Schmalfeldt (me!), lighting the fuse. Might drag out Ma Deuce, and warm her up, too.
Much barbecuing all week, including a pig-in-a-pit luau, occasional cigars, single malt and card games in the evenings, contests of skill with handgun, shotgun, and rifle, stargazing, lots of visiting and hugging, the pregnant lady fashion show, introduction of new boyfriends and girlfriends, family gossip, etc.
Anybody else have plans?
