Photostory Friday - Rescuing Stanley...

This is Stanley. Stanley managed to find it's way into a tree in our yard a little over a year ago. Curious how it got there? Read this post. It was a beautiful day. Stanley was also the subject of a more recent post regarding the most facebook status comments I've ever had. Stanley is quite the hammer. And my husband was determined to get him back.

So he decided for his birthday this year, that's just what he was going to do. After my niece blew out his four candles on his caramel apple dumplings (we are such a non-traditional family, what can I say), he sent the boy home to get his pellet gun. The 12 guage and .410 didn't work last time, maybe the pellet gun would.

They loaded the gun....

They aimed....

They fired....

And voila....

Actually, the husband had an epiphany. He got his golf ball retreiver, duck taped a razor blade on the end, climbed a ladder and cut the rope. After 50 or so pellet shots that were doing nothing besides leaving little marks on his hammer, he gave up.

At least we have our hammer back.
