Cooking Roast in the Ground & Elk Hunting Camp 2017
Elk Hunting Camp 2017 is officially over. It was a small group this year – only about 22 of us – but we still had a good time despite the wind on the first day. I put together this little video of our camping trip that you might enjoy watching. I wanted to share with you a little more about the deep pit cooking we do one night. Before we left home, we took chuck roast and seasoned it with salt, pepper and garlic powder, placed some sliced onion along with rosemary from our garden on top, wrapped it in parchment paper and then in 3 layers of foil.

Piece of Cake to Make
I’m hosting a bridal shower Saturday, so while searching the Internet for table centerpiece ideas, I found this cute idea of taking towels and making a cake out of them. If it doesn’t involve sewing or look overly complicated, I’m game to try it. I would have preferred smaller flowers; these are a little large.

Viewing Pictures on a Blog
I’m intrigued by the post. I want to see the neat birthday cake little Missy made or the art project Jr. put together. But when I look at the picture all I see is a wall, a top of a head (yes, even though it’s precious little jr.’s head I still want to see his face 🙂 ) or the sky. So, recently I wrote our Blog Hoster and asked why?? Here is what he said. "My only guess with the pictures not showing up all the way is that it’s because there are so many. I was able to see everything just fine, but the number of images on…
