Summer Is Ending




Fair season is over with the Puyallup Fair coming in a couple of weeks, Foster and Cameron had some great times showing their cows and chickens. The Evergreen Fair last week in Monroe was great and Fosters rooster won the Crowing Contest with 9 crows in 5 minutes. HA!!!

Cameron had the Reserve Champion Female Simmental Heifer. Dillon is still in Kodiak and hasn't been fishing much since the beginning of August. The skipper of his boat has had him weed whacking at his house there and so he thinks he'll come home soon since fishing prospects haven't panned out so good this month. All in all his Alaska summer made him some pretty good cash.
Mike is getting ready to go to Elk camp for two weeks with a bunch of hunting buddies down near Mount Ranier. Foster is going there for his birthday weekend. I am heading over the Cascades with a 4-H family, ( Betsy Benson Christianson)accross Cascade Pass to Stehekin. (21 miles in two days) This is a great trip that one shouldn't miss. And you must stay a night at the Stehekin Valley Ranch owned by the Courtney Family.

So Mike is getting ready to camp by using an outhouse?
The hike sounds like great exercise wish I could be there for it.

That's something to "crow" about. Any prizes for eating grasshoppers? My fowl are earning their keep, sorta. What about Nike? Did he win anything? Who will buy your heifer this year? Mike, you must be in "hot water" and Tindy's trying to get even. Well, you still have a handsome face, anyway. We had elk luau style last weekend. We have a new neighbor who does a lot of hunting. He also is a professional para glider, I think that is what you call it. They jump off Mount San Antonio. There were about 50-60 sports enthusiasts in the neighborhood last week. I told you things were happening in Tres Piedras.
