Good Times for All!


Thanks Addie for the amazing cake and great picture of Michael and Kenlyn!! A great time was had by all. How can you go wrong throwing a party with 40 pounds of Alaska King Crab, 5 gallons of Snake River Lager, and a pile of great friends?? The afternoon and evening turned lovely and we all were most thankful for that turn of weather!

The kids had a great time too!!

How lucky we are to have so many good friends!! The table was full of food. It was a great party!!

After the nice, long weekend, we look forward to the arrival of Michael's brother, Scott. He joins us for ten days of bow hunting, seeking the elusive wapiti (elk) with his bow.

The weather has turned fall. It's lovely during the day. Night time temperatures dip below 30. The zucchini gets covered nightly and is still alive. I'm not sure why we even bother actually!! I've pulled about 6 zuchs off the plants. Next year, I'm putting carrots where the zucchini lived. The row of sweet, succulent carrots was well worth the planting. And not one day over 90 degrees this year. How perfect of a summer is that???

Other news items: the flies are stupid and plentiful right now. My fan tail fish seems to have gotten over his swim bladder disease and frolics around the aquarium with the other gold fish. The dogs are great; starting to grow their winter coats. I haven't introduced you all to Methuselah the mule, because, ultimately, we probably should lead her to the killing hole so she doesn't have to suffer during the winter. She's very old. Rest of the horses are doing well. I should get Hot Shot back in the next couple of weeks.

Enough for now. Stay safe, enjoy the fall and celebrate your friendships!!
