Xmas Time

The anticipation was very high when all of the kids had their nose's glued to the window waiting for Santa.
Emeline tried the pickled salmon for the first time and it was rather difficult to get her to move away from the dish.
Evan was in heaven in his one and only time all year that the soda choice is unlimited. Here he had located the Mountian Dew. I remember him having 2 but maybe it was 3 or 4. I know that Uncle Mike gave him one for the road.

Catch Up Time

Well, it has been a while since I have blogged. No excuses except that I was to lazy and my camera died.
So the next will be about Xmas and hopefully on a more regular basis.

A day marked down in history at Sneakers in Spring Valley.

Mr. H took the challenge to eat a 2 Pound hamburger with all the fixins in less than 30 minutes.








Here you can compare mine and Evan's hamburger's that we were going to eat. E could not finish his as the regular burger is huge.














Here you can see the cooked product. It included fries and Cole slaw and 2 1919 root beer.














Here is E giving his dad moral support in his effort














The last fry. This was the finishing touch on the challenge that Mr. H met.

The final time was 20 minutes and 55 seconds that put him in first place. the record is 9 minutes and 8 seconds. Unbelievable!!!!!!!

Hunting Season is upon us.

Sensing that the hunting season is now in full swing, "Bucky" decided it was time to go into the camouflage mode.

Actually, I came home from being in Indiana on Friday and this red oak sapling had fallen over and right on top of the 3d target. It sure looked like it was trying to hide.

Hit Again This Morning

We woke up this morning to another blanket of snow. As of right now we have about 3 inches on the ground.














As you can see, the leaves have not turned color as of yet much less fallen off the trees.
It is one of those odd years I guess.

It's Way To Early

It is to early for this but on 10-10 we woke up to a white blanket on the yard.
The leaves are just starting to turn colors and we have to grind leaves for the gardens yet. But it is hard to do when the leaves are still on the trees.




Even "Bucky" was not spared from the cold and snow. It was 27 degrees this morning.
Now they are telling us that on Tuesday we are suppose to really get the snow.
