Rock Wall

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a lot to be thankful for. We do. We got to spend Thanksgiving with our children and grandchildren a week early, Adrian, Cain, Van and Snider arrived last Tuesday. Kimball fixed a late breakfast for everyone. If we had more class we could call it brunch, probably. The Gilfoils

Adrian, Cain, Van, Snider and their dog, Merle, live a long way from where Hurricane Delta came ashore in Louisiana (but still way too close to suit me), but they still felt the effects of the storm. Their electricity went off Saturday (maybe) and just came back on Monday afternoon. It was long enough for

Whadayathink? Is fall here or not? I know it’s time to hunt fall turkeys and fall mushrooms and bass bunch up on points. We found a mushroom we thought looked strange so I took it to Conservation.  It wasn’t Hen of the Woods which I’m accustomed to finding. It was Chicken of the Woods because

This week our tech guy made a special trip to fix my Microsoft Word that has been malfunctioning about half the time. In order to get my computer to take the new MS 16.41, he had to install a new operating system, OS 13.6. I was on the phone with Microsoft on Friday trying to
