We will spare everyone the details, and the yucky pictures from Tom's hospital stay. I'm sure you have all heard and seen enough by now. Thankfully Tom is all healed up, and back to his normal self. Minus cigarettes. (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">YAY</span>!!!!!!) The first two pictures are out of order. This first picture <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">is</span> from Tom's second hospital stay. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Jamez</span> and Amber sent us some yummy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Honeybells</span> from FL. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Honeybell</span> asks for pictures of people with their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Honeybells</span>, so here is Tom being a good sport!

They tend to exagerate the amount, and even the fact that we will get snow around here, so we didn't rush to the store to buy all the bread and milk like everyone else in Western North Carolina. This is the time we should have actually listened though! Thankfully we had enough supplies in the house, and made it through just fine. We lost power for about 25 hours or so, and were without cable for 3 days. We just got it back about 2 hours ago! We made the best out of being stuck at the house with no power. The camping equipment, and the turkey fryer came in handy! Saturday morning consisted of coffee, and grilled cheese sandwiches over the turkey fryer!<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Tom whipped us up some hillbilly sleds, as you will see below. Unfortunately those did not work well, but the neighbor kid had 2 sleds and he was more than happy to share with us! If you have ever been to our house, you know our driveway would be PERFECT for sledding. It did not dissappoint! Tom and I spent hours sledding down the driveway and laughing like little kids!<br />We built a quick snowman, but didn't spend much time on him and he remained faceless. The sleds just kept calling our names! </div><div>Oh, and of course the dogs loved the snow! Maggie always enjoys the snow, and I have been waiting to see what she would do in deep snow. Here are the pictures.....enjoy! </div><div>This first picture of Maggie was taken early Friday afternoon.

Harley broke his nail, and it was cracked way up near his foot. It was so scary looking and nasty, the vet had to sedate him and cut it waaaayy back. (gross!) So here is Harley's bandage. We love our Vet's office! They drew that heart on Harley's bandage.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3HaJoCfz0XUwb4l9AFTvq7cbTEgvhsdx2Ih2ehk63y1H6zybyYMPDpu-vyCJEgnqGZk4v2rqr8PVy0pYvNw8DNYVE2ieu4GLIx05vD4OyKXvBPRiog_NhGn2JUTe6JLqjodwtOZzu0lZ/s1600-h/harleys+leg+and+hiking+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391495219461954354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3HaJoCfz0XUwb4l9AFTvq7cbTEgvhsdx2Ih2ehk63y1H6zybyYMPDpu-vyCJEgnqGZk4v2rqr8PVy0pYvNw8DNYVE2ieu4GLIx05vD4OyKXvBPRiog_NhGn2JUTe6JLqjodwtOZzu0lZ/s320/harleys+leg+and+hiking+001.JPG" border="0" /></a> Harley wasn't very happy after waking up to find this club taped to his foot.

We had a blast, and hope to make this an annual event for us. They announced another brew fest for May 29, 2010, that will feature different music....not bluegrass.

This is from the kitchen window. We are hoping that the neighbors will want to take the privacy fence down...now that we know they are not going to put a small trailer park back there! This area is also my favorite planting spot...from L to R- Iris *in tree stump, Lilac bush (look how big it is mom!), and some raspberries at the corner of the chain link fence!

I got a recipe from my uncle, and it turned out really well!!! (One of our guests very rarely eats beef, pretty much never, but she did and really liked it!!) I seared the tenderloin on the charcoal grill, then wrapped it in a homemade salt and fresh herb dough, then baked it for about 35 minutes.

I talked with a tree guy and a lady that works for the Forest Service, and was told it was the biggest Hickory tree that they have ever seen. What a shame to lose a tree, but whats worse is that it landed primarily in our neighbors yard and on his chainlink fence. What a mess!!! But with the help of Trish, my neighbor, some of his relatives, a couple friends of mine, and the lady from the forest service, we got the majority of it cut up, cleaned up and 6 truck loads hauled out. The biggest parts of the tree are still down there, I just couldn't do it today. I worked on it 11 hours on Friday, 10 hours on Saturday, and a couple hours yesterday morning, then we had company show up, so we were entertaining them yesterday, last night and for a while today, running around downtown and stuff. So here are more tree pictures........................<br /><br /><div>this is where it crunched the neighbors fence- this picture is actually taken from the road, looking up at our house<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxLsxQXeg-2EcN4qHCP_RYNy5H2_SpNv-xHz4JOPNlHI1J6d6nrVnuwwtI8oGdv76-lg7nVlfgMt7Fp3-R-rNGHpfNfCq_MiieIeRNSzUsxVO_VVzFh6hkkaxuK1JWj0lOh1R_Y1udPFlp/s1600-h/IMG_0932.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241209663303799570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxLsxQXeg-2EcN4qHCP_RYNy5H2_SpNv-xHz4JOPNlHI1J6d6nrVnuwwtI8oGdv76-lg7nVlfgMt7Fp3-R-rNGHpfNfCq_MiieIeRNSzUsxVO_VVzFh6hkkaxuK1JWj0lOh1R_Y1udPFlp/s320/IMG_0932.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdzOOalb6T1UgDKtz4rrOs_Vs2bR37flePSk2r94_ab5QacDU3gsb_GQQCn8v4Sbc789ZhPf6_nxrDW5aPMvJRbhRuvB2hBPW2qaZf7HI9AI4nm_K_GOuBuSg1UnMJSuTljvqs8Gw-amJP/s1600-h/IMG_0940.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241209667531834018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdzOOalb6T1UgDKtz4rrOs_Vs2bR37flePSk2r94_ab5QacDU3gsb_GQQCn8v4Sbc789ZhPf6_nxrDW5aPMvJRbhRuvB2hBPW2qaZf7HI9AI4nm_K_GOuBuSg1UnMJSuTljvqs8Gw-amJP/s320/IMG_0940.JPG" border="0" /></a> Some of the cuts were a little scary, but how else was I supposed to do it?<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0KWyqNncHZgiRxtbHzzlq7qSgDKxMBrHqoITH3T5h4yEXEmK7MvP-ETzQNC4-IWP6Cu7ujZnLEkCT8hSecHDznxm4sP0QamBW-7nVkQResGZViQcw97GRx8CIduaeGWcsFGSXN_fTc_O-/s1600-h/IMG_0950.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241209676549406594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0KWyqNncHZgiRxtbHzzlq7qSgDKxMBrHqoITH3T5h4yEXEmK7MvP-ETzQNC4-IWP6Cu7ujZnLEkCT8hSecHDznxm4sP0QamBW-7nVkQResGZViQcw97GRx8CIduaeGWcsFGSXN_fTc_O-/s320/IMG_0950.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />My buddy josh(red bandana) and my neighbor brad.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Dpyw6b2_fuBSJlR27x0K6SNCT2bBt4P2pHg1GYhv2MWFdTcZNnBCyYNXmpgwmxtrJH5iFvQFEfIF-vtDxSyUqNGS5mSbromq8R47RxBss9GOtVZGW99v1zIdo-D1IaFPIYSVmRf2yxn6/s1600-h/IMG_0952.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241209684240198690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Dpyw6b2_fuBSJlR27x0K6SNCT2bBt4P2pHg1GYhv2MWFdTcZNnBCyYNXmpgwmxtrJH5iFvQFEfIF-vtDxSyUqNGS5mSbromq8R47RxBss9GOtVZGW99v1zIdo-D1IaFPIYSVmRf2yxn6/s320/IMG_0952.JPG" border="0" /></a> Root Ball.........<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNr5IDepaeAvSkPPYsAkyupeO1xW3JELiUdpIEDEtmGQ6gHKvL4IPD8S3SQ7ji0B2PZ8afhhhAzR3KxzAhsEmGz4bXSDBaSCr4qYOvtHSnf6MYX1r0qGWa4-RGkv3zF7VbnA-k8zYTqMOa/s1600-h/IMG_0954.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241209693018332594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNr5IDepaeAvSkPPYsAkyupeO1xW3JELiUdpIEDEtmGQ6gHKvL4IPD8S3SQ7ji0B2PZ8afhhhAzR3KxzAhsEmGz4bXSDBaSCr4qYOvtHSnf6MYX1r0qGWa4-RGkv3zF7VbnA-k8zYTqMOa/s320/IMG_0954.JPG" border="0" /></a> Trish throwing wood around.<br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241211671860723490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3fj9XU5rQofzGNQdX0ZOy0nLqcWCVndRc-dfMCZ1agV9SIRVev6oW-YqVn8V96hI-irpqV2uwwWxKo9c7VvgQfAD2J_ObeOze13oXvWsN6GEjhYO3cXktd5FKADAKuz8fLSkQ288sA4ir/s320/IMG_0963.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241211683673781106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg27NWkeESHk0x4lO8iEkUVw1iDNNaJ6JjPLlMMHMQK8dG8xhw6IPt3pAOFRWfAEJuVkwUZGoSQpP0VWLJNc9qH9MZuaUkIEd7nOYyh1ZJF0J7-ANIditbfZt14NHrDd0Ux8Pfl9m91dKyK/s320/IMG_0962.JPG" border="0" />Massive pile of brush, we hauled multiple loads and built this huge pile, it's 10 feet tall and probably 20 feet long.

This is how it happened.....<br />I volunteered to have my picture taken for a recruitment and retention ad campaign at work. When I emailed one of the "bosses" at work about it, I said that I would do it, but that I did not think I was "billboard quality". I was assured that although she thought I was billboard quality, we would ONLY being doing posters. So a few weeks went by, and the big picture day came. When we showed up, the lady who was organizing this ad campaign greeted us and asked which slogan we wanted. I guess I should back up and tell you that we are coping an ad campaign that New York City just did, using "real social workers". Their campaign features 16 real workers with slogans that say "Are you____ enough" to be a CPS social worker. The blanks are filled with adjectives such as kind (mine), tough, real, strong, clear, bold, cool, calm, and so on. So we are picking out what word we wanted, and being a Libra, I picked 3 before it was all said and done! They only put me on one picture though! So as we are doing that this woman says, Oh, this is gonna be great!! You know we have the buses for the months of September and October right? We were like, um, what buses? So she goes on to tell us that our beautiful pictures are going to plastered on the side (or back, or inside) of the Asheville City buses!! Well, it was too late to turn back at this point, so I went on and figured that half of this county knows I'm a social worker any way, so whats a bus picture gonna hurt? I can hear it now....."Hey, there goes my Social Worker!!". The guy taking the picture was not a professional, and he was a tad bit obsessed with the shadow effect. So not only was he trying to get the shadow right on my face, I was also having a REALLY hard time not smiling! so the picture is not the best...but it's not too bad...

Our Friends, Brant and Erin, have 40+ acres that sits next to a national forest. They have a small lake on the property, hiking trails and a rustic cabin. We met up with some of their friends that still live in Ohio and hung out for the weekend. There were ten of us and three dogs there. We had a great time and I think the dogs had even more fun. It was a long ride(5hrs.) but well worth it!!! When we got home today and checked on the garden, a lot of things had changed. The Yellow squash was ready to pick and there's another that will be ready in a day or two, the corn started producing, cucumbers were bigger and multiplying, and a few of the jalapenos were ready to pick.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tzwH12CdtqYAb42nvhfeaXuOX5WRkHOo9JiCXBGnbQZJsSiRkUDlFaq1O0hfAUX4LJlxXoaEdizNoApL_AZKOhzv1I-igswQrXCp_DQHGtr-bRnzpUCh0GF8ikfkdjYPQvm7syiMDA65/s1600-h/IMG_0866.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225267793908867362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tzwH12CdtqYAb42nvhfeaXuOX5WRkHOo9JiCXBGnbQZJsSiRkUDlFaq1O0hfAUX4LJlxXoaEdizNoApL_AZKOhzv1I-igswQrXCp_DQHGtr-bRnzpUCh0GF8ikfkdjYPQvm7syiMDA65/s320/IMG_0866.JPG" border="0" /></a> I think that maggie tried to find the patches of Poison Ivy to lay in, she must not know how easily I get it. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225270726164174962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy30jUZHcCNyyEwBkHCMUf5DQYQbbB8IOIzAdMlpOX-r4uCBZ59TxyoLUiCc0e9Zf4S9jCrGB3Lgri0N1bLT9rRpxyvfSxAySExBsDxPK77sY4zhs-XUaa4t91W4SYth5ECOpknoQAT2f_/s320/IMG_0868.JPG" border="0" />Loungin in the lake and Maggies first real attemp at swimming.

Brant's Grandfather and a friend bought the property in Ohio in the 60's and passed it down to Brant's Dad who then bought out the other fellow. The forest service wants it, but they aren't willing to sell........Can you blame them? It's beautiful!!!! Sorry no pics of the cabin, but it's a really cool place, a hand built log style cabin, constructed out of trees they cut down on the property. No running water, but they have power via a generator and an outhouse for when nature calls:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDDGTEZU7_JwIf4eyhdufuxWTotavgTuJvknci3hc-29cYU_WF5RxL-5-KBQQZlkvIhBbMUGQgpKTqRABFf5DzEvsgkcWP7cbpjEYItIR-YmFf1dxOFDuDzA4MbNTuZWbRAV-GKDhHox9m/s1600-h/IMG_0882.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225267818691508594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDDGTEZU7_JwIf4eyhdufuxWTotavgTuJvknci3hc-29cYU_WF5RxL-5-KBQQZlkvIhBbMUGQgpKTqRABFf5DzEvsgkcWP7cbpjEYItIR-YmFf1dxOFDuDzA4MbNTuZWbRAV-GKDhHox9m/s320/IMG_0882.JPG" border="0" /></a> The garden.....................Neither of us knew how big the squash plants would get, but that's one right in front of me..almost waist high!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3LsEvozIv70dsGd4eFqj7Y0L4BGOnrYoFObZGSc2_ta50ab6_nSwuhrkms4tghAFmZFRbnFDoR-s0wnZwQm4mhDwQVDDTf8k9PR325bD8_EADE-yXuW64OU7VPVIXPX5_zeURndYLnDVV/s1600-h/IMG_0883.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225267820989841074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3LsEvozIv70dsGd4eFqj7Y0L4BGOnrYoFObZGSc2_ta50ab6_nSwuhrkms4tghAFmZFRbnFDoR-s0wnZwQm4mhDwQVDDTf8k9PR325bD8_EADE-yXuW64OU7VPVIXPX5_zeURndYLnDVV/s320/IMG_0883.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Tom and Trishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10313790906069112325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754659762401754817.post-75671346102016583092008-07-10T16:07:00.000-07:002008-07-10T16:18:02.392-07:00Garden Update.......For those of you who looked at our previous posts, this is what our garden started out as.......<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221526816468984034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfn8FDza6kw9PRSd-kNwdv0ZJr_ffu617drK3xKGNaEptkexijBFFM2BaoBuCBXwGGpWOJ_y02MhO1IPqFtP0VAsYx6T40sbHnb8Aij9ZOg4Ss_zXClsr3yXkz9bC1naTpHTrfy7yAZs2D/s320/IMG_0619.JPG" border="0" /><br />Out of all of the different veggies we planted, the only things that didn't come up were the carrots and green onions.

Walking in snow with sandals on is a unique experience, so I had to go down there and stick my feet in! This was at a little "pull out" just past the canyon.

See the dust? The males were fighting (showing off I'm sure!) and kicking up the dust. There were quite a few babies out there, and it was so relaxing to watch them....but we kept looking over our shoulders to make sure none came up behind us. We passed some on the way to this spot.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5hpRPJpsMyfyK0L2AcMNRJ2emxqBYAJQ8GLDkmM9YNDqhytbVVaqy7j4UqnXTNpjdzyLTj0iw2cGQFDwiVDPNVAxhHFnNr8tdCnANgCap05Nlw5A2nzPBsPH8UfQeOqcBr0sLAm0wrBPW/s1600-h/IMG_0759.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217050062540260562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5hpRPJpsMyfyK0L2AcMNRJ2emxqBYAJQ8GLDkmM9YNDqhytbVVaqy7j4UqnXTNpjdzyLTj0iw2cGQFDwiVDPNVAxhHFnNr8tdCnANgCap05Nlw5A2nzPBsPH8UfQeOqcBr0sLAm0wrBPW/s320/IMG_0759.JPG" border="0" /></a>This is the inn at Old Faithful.

Tom seems to think that we weren't supposed to use the facilities, but Melissa asked at the front desk where the showers for the "public" were and she was told that they are on the 2nd floor. The rooms in the hotel are pretty small and some don't have their own bathrooms, so there is a main bathroom/shower room. I don't feel too bad about showering there, I need to wash my hair!!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnghTLOsUEyLZwJBVZbsnAqWsxuXNBq20VmPhpliC8p2nHWUlTb7VgdevECwxDzDDg_4QuVToXPOj42WgHY1fQ_QinuzMQUi_bdHPeloQW9Q44OzdB350i4HR2Dxcfs6PCxEVr-RVmQnGn/s1600-h/IMG_0779.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217049286735655266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnghTLOsUEyLZwJBVZbsnAqWsxuXNBq20VmPhpliC8p2nHWUlTb7VgdevECwxDzDDg_4QuVToXPOj42WgHY1fQ_QinuzMQUi_bdHPeloQW9Q44OzdB350i4HR2Dxcfs6PCxEVr-RVmQnGn/s320/IMG_0779.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here she is.......Old Faithful!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigZ_ro6ohdzKDmrVznTDwqkDWb4IC3JP5hqZiEZQOtXhiMqtmj6b3QQzLMN2hwwFhHEVRhUlduV6AyKBm1wCRIpQeAnRWBrfxGC_cLiG1FSrB9UK4BoRqs60X-w9D-e8SPO80nKEjnI37d/s1600-h/IMG_0785.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217049291804807202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigZ_ro6ohdzKDmrVznTDwqkDWb4IC3JP5hqZiEZQOtXhiMqtmj6b3QQzLMN2hwwFhHEVRhUlduV6AyKBm1wCRIpQeAnRWBrfxGC_cLiG1FSrB9UK4BoRqs60X-w9D-e8SPO80nKEjnI37d/s320/IMG_0785.JPG" border="0" /></a> We don't know the name of this geyser, we saw it from the back.

About five weeks ago, our friend Adam and his girlfriend came down for the weekend, the following weekend we made a quick trip back to Indiana for a funeral and Saturday after the funeral we headed back south and stopped/spent the night in Cincinnati at the Marriott on the Ohio river in the Newport area. We went to the Haufbrauhaus, a HUGE German beer hall. There are only Three of them in America: Newport, Vegas, and Miami. The next weekend we had a blast camping at LEAF(Lake Eden Arts Festival). WHAT A GREAT TIME!!! There were local musicians and some big name acts(Arrested Development). When we got back from Leaf, our buddy Andy Hodge was here, so we got home Sunday from Leaf then on Monday, I took Hodge camping for a few days. The next weekend we actually spent it at home, playing catch up, doing laundry, regular life maintenance stuff. I took Hodge to Charlotte to catch the train back to Boston that Monday. Spent the night in a nice hotel downtown Charlotte and came back to Asheville the following morning. Memorial day weekend we back to the woods and camped with Seth and Amy. That was very relaxing and the weather couldn't have been better. Within in the past couple of weeks we have been invaded with cicadas. What a creepy looking bug, and their steady drone sound in the distance resembles a 50's sci-fi movie. I remember a few summers ago, when Trish and I moved back to Indiana, that the cicadas were all over the place. But this is a first for us here in Lester. Trish joined a kick-ball league through Buncombe County parks and rec. She signed up with a bunch of people that she works with and they have one game a week. Her season is coming to close, only one game left. Anyone can enter a team and I vote for getting some friends together next year and signing up. I've managed to stay really busy with work and have lots of painting to do before our trip to Salt Lake City and Camping in Yellowstone June 14 through the 22nd. I also bought a work vehicle. I AM SO HAPPY!! Now I can keep the Grand Cherokee looking nice and clean and not put 30 thousand miles a year on it. I bought a 92 Jeep Cherokee.

Bessie had a baby!!!! <div><div><div>Here are some pictures of my favorite neighbor cow Bessie (found out her real name is Molly, but I refuse to call her that) and her new baby boy. He was born yesteday, 5/3/08, and was standing up and nursing after only about 45 minutes. He has been playing today, and running! Of course he waits to do these things until I am already back up in my driveway....but I got some decent pictures. I asked Bessie's "dad" if I could take some pictures. I know he has seen me down there talking to Bessie and taking pictures before, but since he was down at the barn I figured I would ask.....he probably thinks I am a big weirdo, or some city girl who has never seen a baby cow! Little does he know I was chasing cows (not tipping them) at a young age of 7. Do you remember that mom?<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196678069254730434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2xEdyIazv5mJi6Z0Iq-FdzQ19GHPkBL17mlhgciaVGqf2jNr_T4-DJGVGCSYs9a0YxkGU6kiOkiUl7Tcs2dRGC02XK8IYSbq5mmdPWrPZjnpGPYiI00pnpeoqkq0URLAoOJq9eoiXDFtR/s320/IMG_0437.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196678490161525458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir6y8S-KlhfazyR6XAocICxusLXSqxv4k2G0E67IHHfI_EeQMAk5v4QloQ8BwGTydcgeNF44Shv-RqMgiybnUT3FgOohCMd6eL_TjVME61f_kJwqWrdlQj8CPHVc7m0uaqzCl5wXB5nXHe/s320/IMG_0439.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196678709204857570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEippn2ENhSNm68k8-PdFWq0n6dvZp01kT_3aTxjJXxUap7RKBvfek3njb4kvE-Ny-lwLDuqz3zgRRVzpzGoPIW62e-UZZRj4xbnwG6fnJnyGJUA1Oq5ZDN1zuk1J60TwOfLKG_eAuvu4nVX/s320/IMG_0440.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>According to Bessie's dad, Bessie has been a good moma, and she is very protective. She used to let the dogs (their's not ours!!) come in her fence and she would even lick them, but now she chases them out and kicks at them. She watched me very close, so I did not get too close to her. I tried to stay down the road a little and not right in front of her. </p><p>The neighbor also updated me on all the wildlife sightings in the area, including the "cat" he thought his dogs were chasing. The "cat" turned out to be a very powerful skunk that got all three of his dogs! He also said that there have been a lot of coyotes coming around lately, and that he actually had to shoot one in his pasture not too long ago because it was out in the middle of the day and he wouldn't leave. It's good to know your neighbors!</p><p>I'm sure there will be more cow pictures to come! I might have to rename the blog to "Tom and Trish, and the trees, hills, cows and dogs of Leicester"....what cha think??? ahhhh, I love this place!!</p>Tom and Trishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10313790906069112325noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754659762401754817.post-59647960330220368212008-03-30T11:30:00.001-07:002008-03-30T15:41:52.660-07:00What a lucky weekend...Daniel and Courtney were in Charleston visiting family this past week and stopped here for the weekend before going back to Indiana. Friday morning, while Trish and I were watching Good Morning America, our local news came on and said something about Bill Clinton was to speak that evening at Asheville High School!! We made sure Daniel and Courtney were up for it, and made plans to go!!!! When we pulled up, the line looked a mile long, they were only allowing 2,500 people in, so I was very skeptical, but to my surprise we made it in.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_EaK8ZxanlnKJehRs7_SRcpu5SaL8JprHa0fRy5QtKUdU2RZW6JuBA9jodEf7GJlx5GuY5T-rXbQAjZWoGqnxoOuudav2LBnxLG0CySKAYD4_m4xnoN2PIRteP9_iN6OvTZnzTUG4JKK/s1600-h/IMG_0791.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183605410920638114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_EaK8ZxanlnKJehRs7_SRcpu5SaL8JprHa0fRy5QtKUdU2RZW6JuBA9jodEf7GJlx5GuY5T-rXbQAjZWoGqnxoOuudav2LBnxLG0CySKAYD4_m4xnoN2PIRteP9_iN6OvTZnzTUG4JKK/s320/IMG_0791.JPG" border="0" /></a> us waiting in line....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFHXL4hvT3eMJAk0DJWjpKveyyNexMrB8bjXFfRCmfQJuPVPztwLANjdX0M-cXKFKHrLOb8KgqgbbthpZ8NxDHn4IGsg8X1ACOfJ4E_queZ2hyphenhyphen_d0uFshofwUFiv8WjzJu6CfkfKhgmq1Y/s1600-h/IMG_0782.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183605423805540018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFHXL4hvT3eMJAk0DJWjpKveyyNexMrB8bjXFfRCmfQJuPVPztwLANjdX0M-cXKFKHrLOb8KgqgbbthpZ8NxDHn4IGsg8X1ACOfJ4E_queZ2hyphenhyphen_d0uFshofwUFiv8WjzJu6CfkfKhgmq1Y/s320/IMG_0782.JPG" border="0" /></a>On Saturday, the weather wasn't real great, we planned on going to the woods and for a drive on the parkway, but we thought we should stop at the Farmer's Market first for some boiled P-Nuts, and to our surprise they were having a blue grass and BBQ festival.....So we had to have a snack/lunch on our way to the woods.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLJW9v_9ig4uGQ5N803M3So5xHa_3NGB1VHjmBDuKZaBvo_zxSGot1pIZZzr_1UgFJlZJ-Wl4CmsDxH3ZfPjYjXkno-no9jDrmIWHPIJ_al0ZeNi1nGvgmT15d9MnPBlWJHFSvP4dmwpS/s1600-h/IMG_0795.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183605432395474626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLJW9v_9ig4uGQ5N803M3So5xHa_3NGB1VHjmBDuKZaBvo_zxSGot1pIZZzr_1UgFJlZJ-Wl4CmsDxH3ZfPjYjXkno-no9jDrmIWHPIJ_al0ZeNi1nGvgmT15d9MnPBlWJHFSvP4dmwpS/s320/IMG_0795.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyxydEbX2zoVTtdW1ZnYlW8fHJKQ19KWnnFGUWjBfpoWnd___hdAVqfwIEdIjDvX1z9TjAvoPelfq_MKgJ05AFf9Qmm75rPstrCppmgKY_olv35zatRm9kwAam0Lrgg_pbrMlMgjSlR70u/s1600-h/IMG_0800.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183605445280376530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyxydEbX2zoVTtdW1ZnYlW8fHJKQ19KWnnFGUWjBfpoWnd___hdAVqfwIEdIjDvX1z9TjAvoPelfq_MKgJ05AFf9Qmm75rPstrCppmgKY_olv35zatRm9kwAam0Lrgg_pbrMlMgjSlR70u/s320/IMG_0800.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr_VODdqsNIXMWPsJMUcovZcjNUQ1F9Y2Aqh9H4cqgDorGF9lYvFkdeB_q3z6MnVGsSBkrg_eLYMsauiTpL29ybV4YULPEwgY2bQi4-CM7Oebu9twM1drTd0jpLUpYOGF9ufbuuhQQFkd1/s1600-h/IMG_0808.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183605453870311138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr_VODdqsNIXMWPsJMUcovZcjNUQ1F9Y2Aqh9H4cqgDorGF9lYvFkdeB_q3z6MnVGsSBkrg_eLYMsauiTpL29ybV4YULPEwgY2bQi4-CM7Oebu9twM1drTd0jpLUpYOGF9ufbuuhQQFkd1/s320/IMG_0808.JPG" border="0" /></a>just a short video of the speech.
