BULLWINKLE BOUGHT IT

These pictures are not for the faint of heart. Ron shot an appromately 1000# moose. It was a long shot, a brown dot on a hill, he shot it in the shoulder, then second shot was a head shot. When on it's side it was at least 4 feet tall. He and mostly his friends field dressed it and it took four sleds to carry it back. They gave us way too much meat, a front leg, the back hind quarter and a back strap. It took Ron and another man to carry each piece in.

The hind quarter we guess was about 200#. What an amazing experience. The hunter gatherer came through. 30 salmon and now a moose. For Ron, a dream come true. I even helped cutting it up and wrapping it for the freezer. Thank goodness for the food sealer. That is the best gadget ever invented.

Here you go, the bounty.




This picture is my favorite. An attempt to put a leg into the freezer. It didn't fit. Imagine that.

Boats Before and After Blizzard





We had a huge blizzard here a few weeks ago. Ron and I took the high ground, it lasted 3 days. Winds 90 mph plus. The worst storm ever in this area. Of course I have no pictures. These were the only ones I could find as before and after. The boats were pulled out of the ice water in the morning by the folks that new a storm was coming. This are pictures of them pulling them back t the waters edge. Not exciting, but cool.
The post office is the blue building in the background. I am taking the pictures from the window in my kitchen at Head Start.

Walrus Anyone

I ate a bite of walrus. It was on the Thanksgiving buffet table. I had to at least try it. It was tough and fishy, I felt like I was on Fear Factor. It is a delicacy and I ate it. I am proud!

New Batch of Puppies

This owner is trying to find homes. Some dogs just get turned loose. Anybody want one?

Magical Moon

Mystical Magical Moon. Early morning beautiful. It was windy and cold. I had to learn against the house to steady myself. And my finger tips were burning and frozen. Ouch




Happy or Holy?

I think I should contact the news, tell them I found a holy person in a roll. Ahhh, Now I know, it is a Holy Roll, er, what say you? Which network should I send it to, or should I just send it to David Letterman. Oh wait... I cant, we ate it.

Games

This is the ruler pull. All the way from pre school to older adults.
