We're back

It's been quite some time since I blogged. We went to Wyoming, a nice trip, only had trouble breathing one time and didn't have to go to the hospital so that's good. The elevation there was 7500 ft. Terry did not get a deer, but that's the way it goes with hunting. I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Chico in about a week. Then maybe things will settle down for a little while again.

Wyoming

Greetings from Wyoming. We had a fairly good trip only one area of sleet and snow. Terry and I have both gotten altitude sickness but are getting better. The hunting starts on Thursday and I hope he get his deer on the first day.

trip

Getting ready for our trip to Wyoming. Terry will be deer hunting and I am along for the ride. Wish (Grandaughter) Faith could go along cause Wyoming is all about the horse and the daughter of the people we are staying with is a state champion barrel racer. It has already snowed once there last week so I expect cold weather. The altitude is 7000 ft so may have some breathing problems but we will hope for the best. I will try to take some interesting pictures.

surprise

This morning I was putting away wash when I heard a commosion in the back yard. I have a bird feeder and usually there are quite a few birds out there. Sometimes Paul's cat, Boingo likes to get himself a snack at this buffet. The birds were going crazy in the butterfly bush almost screaming so I looked out. There was a huge hawk sitting on the awning of my swing about 10 feet from the feeder. I grabbed the camera and got a fuzzy picture (I wanted to show Terry but he was on the other side of the house and missed it all). Then along comes Boingo and he looks at the hawk. His first look was like "get away these are my birds to eat" his second look was like "yum, you would make a good meal" and the hawk took off.

going out

I get to go out and get my hair cut today. My sister is here from Nevada and she wants to get her hair cut too. And hurray it's not so hot today!

pie

I got my shoofly pie by fed ex on friday, so it took 2 days to process the order and 2 1/2 days to get across country (according to there site that you could check your order on). Everything arrived in good shape. the shoofly pie was very good (mammy didn't think they used baking molasses) but I thought it tasted great. The woopie pies are simular to susie-Q's. I got one in chocolate, pumpkin and oatmeal, I only tried the oatmeal so far. It was pretty sweet, I think they used regular icing in the middle instead of whatever I remember being in the middle. It was a fun package to get. I surprised Mammy with bacon dressing (her favorite) she hated it but she liked whatever kind my cousin sent to her about 5 months ago. It's been very hot the last couple of days and it effects my breathing and being able to move, suppose to get cooler this week, I look forward to it.

shoofly pie

I have been craving shoofly pie (from my Pennsylvania days) I could make one but it would take way more energy than I have most days so I went on line to look - sure enough I found a place that sells and ships them. Now I know they are not Amish because Amish don't use computers but I am pretty sure they are Pennsylvania Dutch which is my background. I will let you know if they are as good as I remember.
