Old and New

The revamping of the kitchen has begun with the removal of the old refrigerator and moved out to Jonesie's Digs. It holds so much more beer than the wine cooler that I have been using. Anyone need a wine cooler?
This the new one that looks good and is very roomy inside. Good Luck with that Nana.

The Plot is Becoming Clearer

This pic shows one of the culprit's in the "Case Of The Missing Neck Parts". If you look close you will see a light spot in there. If you were to enlarge the pic you would see that the spot is - bird feathers.
I think it may be a new woodpecker that has found an easy mark for beating up.

Wild Flowers for Mom

The above wild flower and berry pics were taken, and published on this blog in memory of my Mom who passed away on August 3rd, 2009.

Tough Living in Wisconsin

It is a tough area where we live in Wisconsin. Here I put out my bow hunting target last week so that practice could begin.
As you can see some animal thought this was going to be a free meal or was thinking of making a home inside target. All of the missing material cannot be accounted for so I hope if it was a coyote it has a tummy ache this morning.

Home Sweet Home

My pals!!!!! Last weekend Kallie K. Said to me "jonesie, you better check to see if the 4 wheeler is full of nuts". Well, I did and this is what I found. Some varmint making a home in the air intake - again!
I removed the air cleaner and found the nest on top of the stored goodies.
I removed the nest and found the loot of hickory nuts.

Summer Walk

I have always put pics on here of where I walk. So here are a couple of photos of where I walk, or what it looks like in the summer.
It has been a fabulous summer for walking this year. Not to hot nor has it been to humid. Always good for 2-3 miles in the morning.

Sat. Dinner

Dinner on Saturday night started out by getting organized. This pic shows just how organized we are - not. The night before it was so confusing when people were ready to leave. It ended up Rick and Tom backing all the way out of the driveway, which is no easy task on the farm.
So the next day I gathered up every ones car keys and backed each car into a space and that seemed to work okay as far as people getting out.
Dinner was at Shady Grove near Ellsworth. Nana and I go there for Unforgiven Beer on tap and calamari. This night most people had the beer and many different kinds of food and all said it was good food.

Dinner At The Inn

Dinner started out with Mary Jane making the appetizer of taco dip, vegetables and chips.
All of the gang seemed to have had a good time at the dinner table with lots of food, wine and laughter.
The dinner was pork roast, coleslaw, wild rice salad, and fried corn. We ended with Little French Fudge Cakes with vanilla ice cream and coffee.

Fishing Day

This was the family reunion weekend and to start things off, the boys went fishing on Sat. morning.
Rick seemed to be very content fishing on the smooth lake.

Paul and I got lucky and caught both of these bass at the same time.
And of course, the host and best fisherman caught the biggest fish of the day. We didn't measure it but we all guessed 19 - 20 inches.

All in all we had a great time and the best part was that someone I knew had a pontoon boat, drove it for us and guided us to the best fishing places.
