I'm sure most of you remember the show. Local watering hole "where everybody knows your name. And they're always glad you came."
For some I guess it could be a local bar. Maybe the home town cafe or even a place you haven't discovered yet.
We meet new friends there sometimes and it turns out that some of them seem like old friends from the start.
For me, there have been few places like that over the years.
Yeah, work was a place where I made some life long friends, guys I still talk to long after they or I retired. But mostly it's a conversation about the old days, remember this person, that intense incident or that crazy job.
For me one place where I have been where I'm treated like family is Missouri. And honestly they are family more so than most of my blood kin. A place you share in chores and happy to be part of anything Gibson.
But closer to home I've found a place I can escape to where we are all a bit different, yet in one way we share something that keeps me coming back as often as I can get there.
A place where I always feel welcome and can relax regardless of what is going on in my world. Discussion can be frank without being an offense. Help is offered and is always appreciated. Where the shooting out front, the food and fellowship outweigh to bountiful game and hunting experience.
As the sun sets on the last evening of this visit here all I can think about is the blessing of the friends that have taken me in and made me feel at home since the first time I came here 18 months ago.
