Each November, for I don't know how many years, Sara comes home for the weekend when Colby goes deer hunting. For quite a few years it was just Sara, then it was Sam and Sara and then it was Sam, Mac and Sara. Sam finally was allowed to go along for the annual deer hunt and it was Mac, RaiLee and Sara who came for the annual deer hunting weekend. The weekends were always fun with time spent entertaining the grandkids and eating lots of good food. Sara and I would try to spend some time purging through the mounds of junk and cleaning the house for the holidays. We would also take some time to figure out Christmas gifts and maybe even go do some shopping. That first year that Sam went hunting and Mac had to stay with Rai was a bit of a problem. There was some rivalry between the two little ones and we made an attempt to keep things calm - we actually bribed Mac and agreed to pay him if he didn't make Rai mad. In hindsight, that maybe wasn't completely fair because it was pretty easy to make Rai mad but Mac had a pretty short fuse too! Another problem with the money thing was Mac didn't really care about money so it wasn't much of an incentive to not piss off Rai. Some deer hunting weekends were more chaotic than others when the grandkids became involved. Then four years ago, Gracyn was born into the family and Mac turned six. Turning six was a big deal, making Mac eligible to go on the annual deer hunting weekend and thus making the weekend an annual girls weekend getaway!

Hi – I’m Sue Reyzlik. In 2017, I realized my life-long dream of building a writing hut in the backyard. The writing hut serves as a creative space and home office for Oma Publishing. In this blog, I will share stories of my family history, varied life experiences, insights on being a Grandma (Oma), as well as, my “retirement” career as a self-publisher of children’s stories. Perhaps I will share a political opinion or two and maybe a little bit on the 32 years I served as Executive Director for Keep Fremont Beautiful. I just plan on writing and figuring out later if I feel comfortable sharing… I guess we shall find out together.
