Memories 73 and 74

#73 (1/28/13)
As Europeans, we were not raised with guns around and amidst a gun culture as strong as it is here. Our friends from Kansas on the other hand were avid hunters and loved guns in general. So naturally, when we were offered to shoot a small rifle, we were a bit intimidated but we both tried it.
I think she enjoyed it (she wanted to impress her boyfriend). I don't recall if she was good or not -not enough practice, this was more of a one time thing.
I definitely sucked.


#74 (1/29/13)
She had made a rhyme for Asher when she moved from Washington State to Florida. It was in French and here it is translated:
"We stopped in Missouri,
the sky ws all grey,
the dogs peed
in the rain"


73
En tant qu'Europeennes, on n'a pas ete eleve au milieu des flingues, mais en revanche nos amis du Kansas etaient des chasseurs accomplis et amateurs d'armes a feu en general. Donc bien sur, ils nous avaient offert de shooter une petite carabine/fusil. On etait un peu intimidees au debut, mais on avait accepte le challenge. Je pense qu'elle avait aime (elle voulait impressioner son boyfriend). Je ne me rappelle pas si elle etait bonne ou pas -mais surement pas assez de pratique, c'etait juste une ou deux fois).
Moi j'etais nulle.

74
Elle avait invente une comptine en demenageant du Washington a la Floride, pour Asher. Ca faisait:
"On s'est arrete dans le Missouri
Le ciel etait tout gris
Les chiens on fait pipi
Sous la pluie."
