I've decided that Sundays will be the day I go all out for breakfast, if I have the energy and ingredients. This last Sunday I decided on something a little different. Baked some pork chops and served them up with hash brown patties, farm fresh eggs (in my case sunny side up) and homemade hollandaise sauce (had some leftover from dinner the other night). A very yummy meal for Sunday brunch:

FISHING!!!!!!!!!!

Image
FINALLY got out fishing this last weekend. We went out Thursday after work. I didn't have much luck, hubby caught two. We didn't care as we were finally out on the water: Had a GORGEOUS sunset: Got home, cleaned fish and packaged them up as we'd decided to gift the first fish of the season to our neighbor who also likes fresh fish. Saturday turned out to be a very nice day, so we loaded up again and off we went. Boated to the far end and finally got a closer look at the structure up there Not totally sure what it is, posted a pic to the local area mailing list and someone posted it was a duck house built by the local Eagle Scouts. Cool idea. Saw a pair of bald eagles. THAT was seriously cool. Tried to get some pics, these are the best I could do with my little point and shoot on extreme zoom (didn't want to get too close to the tree the eagle was in and scare him off): He eventually flew off as we had to get too close tot he tree as I'd sn

Art Walk 2012

Art Walk started on this last Friday and since I had something up for it, we went down for a while: Didn't get to spend as long there as I'd have liked. We were headed down to Lewiston for the rest of the evening to hang out with friends. I will definitely plan on spending a lot more time at Art Walk next year (esp if the Fabulous Kingpins are playing again next year). I also hope to have enough art/photographs to see about having my own display in one of the businesses.

WORMS!!!!!!

Finally got around to setting up the Can O'Worms I picked up on the latahfreeexchange group last year. Still don't have the right kind of worms for it, but we'd picked up some night crawlers on Sunday to go fishing (and ended up not doing so as I'd left my fishing license at home and I will guarantee that if I tried to fish without it the Fish & Wildlife SWAT team would have had the boat surrounded the minute my line hit the water) and I wanted to stash them somewhere until we can get back out. Dug up a bunch of other worms out of my compost pile to keep them company and to provide some bedding for them. Then I added some onion peelings, tea bags and coffee grounds to give them some food. I will eventually see about getting the proper type of composting worm as night crawlers are not quite right, but they will be handy for grabbing a few for fishing without having to go out back to the compost pile.

An unexpected adventure - part 2

After a pretty good nights sleep, considering I was in a strange bed in a strange city without my hubby and kitties, we got up and made plans. First thing was getting the car to a mechanic to have it looked at. While walking out to the car I snapped the view from our hotel: Drove to Les Schwab and parked. A mechanic came out to greet us and see what we needed. Showed him the car and his first words were "what happened?!?!?!" To which we replied, we had no idea as the car had been "borrowed". So he checks to see how soon he can get us in, but the next open appointment was 2 pm. I looked at mom and said I would rather stay another night if need be, but I really wanted the car looked at. She agreed and we made the appointment. Now we had a few hours to kill. The mechanic suggested the Grand Sierra for a little gambling and lunch. So we headed off. We decided that no matter what, we were going to see about getting back on the road after getting the car looked
