For a Mother’s day and a Father’s day surprise, Laurie and I bought tickets to see a trio of country musicians and singers known as “Branson On The Road”. Mom and Bob watch them faithfully on the television. Boy, were we happy we did. They couldn’t have enjoyed a concert anymore! To make this event [...]

Gobbler!!
Posted in Hikes, Misc. Nature, My Family on April 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I left later than I would normally to listen for gobblers. However, a walk on a beautiful morning was my primary reason for heading to State Game Lands 247 near Center Hill, Pennsylvania. I wanted to further test my clothes against ticks too. I had sprayed an ingredient on them about a month ago and [...]

Headed west! Family members and myself left for the 12 hour trip to Illinois. The reasons were varied for the trip.

Fourteen years ago on February 6th, 1998, some Springer Spaniels were brought into this world. A short time later, in March, Laurie and her mother, Anne, walked into the basement and two little puppies would crawl into my lap and curl up to fall asleep. I sat on the basement floor holding these two fat-bellied [...]
Blanket Hill Adventure

Locals in the Armstrong County, Pennsylvania area have heard of Blanket Hill. In 1756, Colonel John Armstrong ordered 13 men to wait until daybreak and attack the 3-4 Indians located by the fire. Scouts spotted their fire earlier that evening. Armstrong feared these Indians could alarm the main village at Kit-Han-Ne. (Present-day Kittanning) [...]

The dark hours were solemn. Laurie and I had attended a beautiful Christmas Eve service at the Kittanning Free Methodist Church. We, later, shared our presents to each other. We enjoyed the antics of Quincy, our ferret, as he played among the torn wrappings. Our Springer Spaniel, Suzie, even with her illnesses, enjoyed searching and squeezing her new toy. We [...]

Moe, Curly and Larry, a.k.a. Bob, Donnie and me, spent the morning chill among the woods of Pennsylvania. My job was to walk about trying to move some deer past these two hunters. I have one deer tag left and I am waiting for after Christmas when the Pennsylvania primitive flintlock season begins. Everybody [...]
Our Christmas Tree

Laurie and I erected the Christmas tree today. This is not a holiday tree either!! Over the last several years our tree has been only about four feet high or so. One year we decorated the tree in an old-fashioned way. We used popcorn strings; homemade gingerbread cookies; we made colored ribbon strips; turkey feathers; pine cones and even used an [...]
