Sometimes FOUR WHEELS....;

This is the golf cart that Todd acquired last Fall and worked tirelessly on all winter.  He converted it from electric to gas, did a custom lift and upgraded the tires for all-terrain rides around Whiskey Creek.  Finally, the fabulous paint job was accomplished with two cans of spray paint, a hope, and a prayer....turned out great, Todd!!

Whiskey Creek - Memorial Day Weekend 2012

Todd and I officially kicked off the summer season this weekend in the absence of the kids with a motorcycle trip to Whiskey Creek.  This is a shot from the back of the bike as we rode on Woods Trail after a great, relaxing weekend of campfires, walks, golf cart rides, a Spaghetti Dinner, and Memorial Day service along with visits with nice people and good friends.

Like a moth to a flame.....

Check out the moth that committed suicide in my citronella candle

Cooking on an Open Fire

The makings of patty melts......after the peppers and onions were sauteed, and the burgers were cooked to perfection, I grilled swirl rye bread and melted montery jack cheese to build some really tasty sammies. On the side: fresh cherries from the farmer's market.

Fetching Water

Todd loaded the barrel (originally from Greece and used to import hot peppers) into the trailer and fetched water.
