Kevin's Birthday

We got together today for Kevin's birthday. We went out to eat and then back home for a little birthday pie. The boys are getting old.

I asked Kevin how old that sweatshirt was, since it was a skateboarding shirt. He said 6th grade. Time for a new wardrobe.

Craig played a little harmonica, too.

Aliner Awning

Three years ago when we decided to get a Mariah Awning for our 2004 Aliner DL we wanted a different color than the standard blue. We obtained a color chart from Dean and discussed it for days and then decided to get the standard blue anyway.

So now we have a 2006 Expedition and we want another awning. We got another color chart from Dean. I wonder what color we will end up with. We will see.

Another squirrel proof bird feeder

Craig & Kevin bought their mother another squirrel proof bird feeder. The one I bought didn't work. This one is "electric". It says it gives the squirrels a "static correction" Of course Kevin had to try it.

A new Christmas Toy!

My dinner was 122 degrees.

Squirrel proof bird feeder

Carol likes feeding the birds but the squirrels have been driving her crazy eating all the bird food. So I bought her a squirrel proof feeder for Christmas. The other day she was complaining about the squirrels again so I gave her an early Christmas present:




As you can see, it doesn't work.

The day after Thanksgiving

Carol's dinner:

My dinner:

I guess that's why I look the way I do!

Fun in the Fall

Cleaning up leaves can be fun.

Un-official Gathering of A-Frames - Montauk State Park, MO

We had 9 A-frames attend this unofficial Gathering. Several of us went to Montauk 2 years ago and enjoyed it so we went back. We had a good time and the weather was cool in the morning (one day it was 24 degrees) and nice during the day. It's always good to see our friends.

Trout fishing is the big thing to do at Montauk, but I'm not a fisherman.

No TV at Montauk so we watched the World Series with the Cardinals on my cell phone.
