Pellet stove

I don't use my stove much anymore--wood pellets have gone up in price and natural gas has come down. So, when I do fire up the stove, it's a notable event.

Bear burger

Libby made burgers from bear meat that someone had given us. They were good. So good that the next day Dad discovered that Brian had swiped the leftovers for his lunch.

Mulberry Cafe


Julie and I met up with our friend Lydia in Clare last Saturday, and we lunched at the Mulberry Cafe, which is part of the historic Herrick House. The atmosphere was charming and the mushroom soup inspired me to try making my own at home.

As you can tell, various members of the family spent time reading over Christmas vacation. (I even looked at Joel's combine book).
