India Trip, Oct 8 - "Dead Eye Mitchell"





At Wheaton College my mom was given the nickname of 'Dead Eye Mitchell' due to her ability to hit her target with a rifle. Her skills came in handy today as the monkeys became a nuisance. They had stolen a chapati (it's in the monkeys hand in the picture though you can't see it that well) from Biju's kitchen. Biju lives just below the Criders and the monkeys had raided her kitchen for the bread ... though we didn't know this when 'Dead Eye Mitchell' was sent out to take care of business!









Yosef gave her the sling shot he keeps hanging on the back of the kitchen door and she went after the rascally rascals. She's glad she didn't hit any though it did make for a fun moment.

















Here comes the back up .....
