Donating a Kidney

This month my mom is going to donate a kidney. She will be donating it to my uncle(her brother). I am kind of scared for her because she will be under he knife for a couple of hours. Also she will be gone for my birthday. This is the second year that she will have missed my birthday, but I wont complain because she will be getting surgery. Also I am sure she would rather be here at my birthday than having surgery. I feel bad for her. My uncle has been at 12% kidney life for a long time and now he is at 11% so he needs a kidney. My mom is leaving in two weeks to go get tested to make sure she can donate a kidney. There is a one in seven-hundred-fifty chance that my mom was born with only one kidney. I hope that she will be ok. Wish her luck!!!!!

Duck Hunting

This weekend I went duck hunting with my friend Mr. Terral. We left at about noon on Friday to go set up the blind. We paddled out to the spot we had chosen before and began to set it up. This took about three hours, and because the season didn't open until six fifty Saturday we did the work of setting up the blind on Friday. Once we were done we paddled back to the car and went home to get a good night sleep, because we had to leave at three forty-five the next morning. Well, the next morning we woke up and got the gun and some shells, then we went down to the lake and began to paddle out to the blind. When we got there we placed the decoys, put on our camo, and loaded the gun. After that we got comfortable and waited for a couple of hours for the ducks to join our decoys and for the season to start. Then, the first shot! The shot rang through the morning, and then boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! The other hunters began to unload on the incoming ducks. The ducks didn't stop coming and and after a few minutes we had shot three ducks. The ducks had thinned out, so I paddled out to pick up the ducks. This continued for hours and the time came for us to leave. Well we paddled out and went home. We had gotten six ducks and we went home to clean them then I had to go home so he drove me home. It was so much fun!!!!!!!!!
