Wow, the summer absolutely blew right by. I apologize for the slacking as far as getting another post out. Once August hit and the garden was busy the online shop stayed busy, thank to everyone and the kids laundry cooking etc…the time just goooooes. Now I have just a few days left in town. I leave Thursday the 17th. I’m flying out with Wrights Air Service. I am packing, putting things away in the yard and running errands. Trying to keep my blood pressure down haha.
We’ve gotten a lot of feedback from people suggesting we take video of ourselves. Where this idea goes against our grain quite a bit we can understand that a lot of what we do and would like to relate to other people would be best done in video format, as well as fun for people. Soooo we are going to try. I say try. I don’t know how it will all turn out and I am not the best camera man especially not for myself but We are going to try. My dream was to have a video for you right now before I left but I don’t think I can accomplish that learning curve with editing it and learning how to get it on my sight and still get the stuff done I need to do before I am away from civilization for 6 months. One of the producers we met while working on the show has been trying to work with us on tips for shooting ourselves and has expressed interest in helping us do the editing in the spring. I have a decent camera and we got ourselves a go pro and all of the straps, stands bells and whistles. Sometimes I feel like Beverly Hillbillies trying to learn this stuff.
Tyler took off for the river in the boat last Wednesday, the 9th. He had a bit of engine trouble on the way up. I received a text Thursday afternoon that simply said, Boat Shop phone number ASAP. Luckily they talked him through it and all continued well. He arrived at our cabin the next day. He let the dogs go free when he got to our place and a dog we are borrowing for the winter named Delilah, ran off. We have never had this happen before. He called and called for the dog but had to go to bed that night wondering what happened to her. We figured she was a gonner, kicked by a moose, teamed up by wolves, etc when she still hadn’t returned by morning. Tyler went out to the boat to start moose hunting for the day and there she was sleeping on the boat. What a relief. She is one of our Dear Friends prize female! Tyler let me know this morning that he got our moose! We are going to have good food all winter. Cant wait.
As I write this now I have just mere hours left in town. I fly out tomorrow morning. I have a lot of last minute things to wrap up including finding a credit card the baby seemed to get a hold of, passing my mail key off to a friend for the winter, cleaning out the refrigerator and emptying the food dehydrators one last time. Nancy will be over sometime this evening so I can pay her for the books I sold for her and so I can get another copy for myself to read this winter. She is a dear friend.I will be selling her book again next spring when I return. After a fast moving summer season I am looking forward to taking things a bit slower and enjoying our family time. The kids are at just the cutest age right now. 15 months and 3 years. I just laid them down for a nap in order to get a bit done on the computer. I wish I had time to say so much more but my brain is fried right now. Can’t wait till I get to sit down and March and tell everyone about the winter. Please stay safe out there. Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Yes I have to prep for all of these holidays for the kids in August! I have a whole box of fun goodies and learning games. After I get done posting this I will be downloading preschool circle time podcasts for Sydney onto USB drives. I better get going now. Take care all of you!
