Our version of retirement: Living a childhood dream

Is it made of plum or will any fruit do?
Ours this time is plum
We've made pear leather (not fond of pears, but the leather is outstanding)
Apple
Others, can't recall

Not sure if anything citrus would hold together
maybe coupled with something with better consistency (?)
 
Lookin' a little closer.......

Loves it

When God answers prayers, He doesn't mess around

The house we bought in town has a mishmash of design here and there.
So...it's pretty much a do whatever you want
My stuff is crude, rough, cabiny
Always has been

My lady asked for a door to the bathroom rack that holds our towels and such

I built that rack (cupboard?) when we moved in, due to no place to put towels and whatever
Took about a half hour (we were moving at the time)

Now it has a door
It in't pretty, but has a wormth to it (I really need to build another cabin)

Well, it happened

Up at the cabin, some moron with a gun shot a bear
Wounded him
Didn't down him
Didn't track him

Bear hunters have been called out
Meanwhile, my son, his little girls, and his new wife are on alert

Other than wildfire, there's not much more dangerous than a wounded bear, or big cat

My hope is he bled out somewhere
 
Moron - that’s exactly what that guy is. Hope they find that bear - deceased soon. Too dangerous.

Congratulations to your son and his new wife. Wishing them the very best of everything.
 
Hiked around the lake today

I so missed the deciduous trees when living up at the cabin
Didn't really miss much....but for those trees in the fall

Feasted our eyes on our hike

Shoulda brought the Nikon

iPhones just don't quite cut it

But, still.....

@Gary O' , when and if, this bear is no longer a threat, how will you and others find out?
 
Well, I've gotta sched an appointment with an ophthalmologist

My eyes are getting noticeably worse rather fast

I can no longer read at a normal pace
no matter what the size

My right eye is much worse
not just macular degeneration, but straight lines are broken
and my left eye is no longer compensating

Very aggravating
