PA ELK


The weekend of October 23 2010 Pete took Jack and me to view the PA Elk. We stayed in a hotel in St Marys PA. Elk can be found in a small town called Benezette. We saw a ton of Elk and it was a good time to go because the Elk were bugling and very active!

I have had this great idea to put together a friends and family cookbook! I have downloaded a software package to help with this. You can find it here http://www.cookbookpeople.com/ It will really speed this project up. I hope to have it completed by Christmas (Notice I didn't say which one) So please post any recipes that you would like to have included!

Yesterday we went back to school. I don't know where the summer went! We went to Camelbeach, (a water park in the Poconos) we spent a day at the real beach with friends and attempted to go to qualifying at the NHRA Toyo tires Nationals. The drag racing weather was iffy so we decided against plunking down our admission fees and visited with friends instead!

Hello, Last week Jack and I froze 100 ears of corn to have for winter. The process was much more streamlined this year than last! It only took about 4 hours stat to finish instead of all day!

Official start of Summer vacation!




Today marks the official start of our summer vacation! We don't have many plans this summer besides tending the garden and spending a few weekends with friends. We intend to insulate our shop. (Willing volunteers accepted) Just kidding!




I took a photo of a cool flower that was growing in our woods, if anyone knows what it is called I would appreciate a comment.




We planted our garden on June 6th. While this sounds late we still had a frost on June 1st. Hopefully, everything will grow well!




I am anticipating taking a course on photography in the fall. I want to develop my love of photography and learn a few things.

We just spent a great weekend with our friends in Clarion Pa. We enjoyed nature got to go boating, ride a horse and four wheelers! Not to mention the wonderful food we ingested. The weather on this Memorial Day weekend was the best in recent memory.
We are so fortunate to have such great friends who are willing to share their lives with us!
This photo is of one of the resident frogs that lives at their place!
