October Winter

 You can see we are all over the snow stakes!

 Sitting on the deck temporarily suspended!

 Local wildlife bewildered!

 Snowshoes absolutely required!

Nothing left to do but....

Friday Bacon!

Once again, after long repast, I bring you, LAME FRIDAY BACON!

THE BACON CANDLE - Further proof that everything is better with bacon, including your stinky bathroom.
Now you can turn your love of bacon into a full-blown problem with the new BACON CANDLE.  Burn it with a coffee flavored candle and a french toast flavored candle and you'll have a laser awesome schnoz breakfast.
THE BACON CANDLE is hand made in the USA (take that China!) and comes in a 6oz. glass which can be recycled for whatever you have that needs decanting.

Mainville Pheasants

Although it took Shellelagh a few mintues to get warmed up, the short jaunt through Mainville's gamelands proved productive.

Two flushes and two clouds of feathers.

Minions in attendance, Bear (he drives Shellelagh around), Stew and Coach.

Well done!

Minions Assemble! - Sunday, 10/23/11

On Sunday, 10-23-11, a multi-vehicle convoy will assemble at the Rte. 11 Bloomin' Bagels to take on sustenance for the greulling journey to the Bellefonte area handicapped ramp. Estimated time of departure, 9:00 am. (Arrive early to partake in the bageliciousness.) I expect to have minor additional capacity available in the Doobaru. For the convenience of those idependently arriving at the destination, bagel snadwich orders are being accepted. Arrival at destination is expected to occur 10:30 amish.

I don't even drink coffee,

but for some ungodly reason I find an almost uncontrollable urge to purchase some Sisters Coffee.
