Random Glories of God

The rainbow after a sloppy rain that ran us away from the sandbar. Didn't spoil our good time though! We packed every thing up and went to the camphouse and chowed down on some crawfish, potatoes, sausage, mushrooms, onions, corn, and eggs

And this was the sight that welcomed me when I got home Friday!

2 weeks worth of hogs and stories!

Ok so weekend before last was pretty good! Saturday we went to Nanafalia. We hunted all morning and had gotten skunked. Me and Dad and Tanner and Ryan. Well, Dad and I had already gotten back to the trucks and had loaded everything up. When Tanner and Ryan got there Tanner said he had 2 dogs still missing. So, he went to look for them. He called back and said that he needed some help... So we unloaded and FINALLY found them. They already had the hog caught and tied...

Sunday... We ended up with one little piglet...

This little piglet was going in the trailor. It sparked a hog hunters fire in Carrie... she got to catch one in the trailor and now she wants to do it in the hunt so bad she cant stand it!! NEW BLOOD!! lol

 





 

 

Ok, so this weekend is a little easier to remember... Sunday we got skunked but Saturday was GOOD.

 

Started catching a little late, but once it started in was hard to keep up. First, we caught the big boy!

 

My dad and Dale

Me, Sawyer, and Hamner

Hamner

Sawyer and Hamner

 

 

After we got that one it was pig after pig. Dad's goal all summer has been to get 5. Well, we got to number 3 and realized that Dad had shredded our tire on an exposed culvert...

 

So, me hamner and sawyer took the flat tired ranger and wobbled it the longest way back to the truck and let the OLD MEN go to the dogs... neither wanted to swim so we lost the one that Tanner (the dog) and Chiwa had bayed and eventually Hound and Betty killed the one they were on and came out... so we had the 5 but couldn't prove it... and getting skunked on Sunday didn't help our feelings much...





Food Glorious Food

Since I am 2 weeks behind, I decided to break my posts up into two... one for the food from my culinary classes and one for hogs.

Thursday is my sculpting class... First we did the Styrofoam carving in prep for ice (football trophy) and then we did the chocolate bunny :D

And then in my European Tortes class we did the Japonese/Succes torte and then the Edelweiss (vertical layer cake)

Worst cake I've ever made design wise and I didn't even like the cake itself but the family did

And since they have the side of the Dolly Pardon bridge closed this is my view going to my beach home on Monday morning
