* For Sale * 1997 Winnebago Adventurer

This weekend Brenda and I headed out to CT to help Sherri and Kevin with a bathroom tile project. We have been looking forward to this for a while now. It's nice to help out friends and family on their projects, and It was nice to spend time with them, and to finally see their house for the first time. We got there Friday night, and Alyssa, Kelly, and her friend Dave came over to visit.

There are lots of pictures in the Gallery, but click below to see a few, and read more about the project.

Once again we were lucky enough to spot our winged friend. It was on our way home from camp last night. In the marshy area near the lake there was a bald eagle just hanging out. I made a quick U-turn with the truck, and jumped out to take a few pictures. I love seeing these majestic birds around. I am going to order a new telephoto lens for our camera, so hopefully I can get some even better shots the next time we see him.

I think I may have a problem. The worst part is the fact that I have brought Brenda down with me. So, I am here to admit to the world that I am addicted to the food network. Well I suppose it is food in general.

Lately I have begun to notice that we are using the food network as a crutch. Our DVR is full of food channel shows, we turn to the food channel whenever a show we normally watch at night is a rerun. On weekends the TV is on the food channel all day long, usually while we are in the kitchen cooking up something inspired by one of their shows.

But it has gotten worse. A while ago I started putting recipes up on the web site just for my own convenience, but it has grown more than I expected. Now I am also taking pictures of the food that we cook, and posting the pictures along with the recipes. I have even been submitting the pictures to this cool site I found (tastespotting.com) that is a mouth-watering photo collection of recipes, cooking, baking, kitchen adventures. I was so excited the first time one of my submissions was accepted. I had a couple of rejections before this picture and recipe got accepted.

I am not sure what to do about this addiction. Maybe I'll mull it over this weekend while we bake some muffins, or try some new recipe. Whatever we decide to cook, you can probably bet that I'll be taking pictures of it, and submitting them to tastespotting.

It's nice to start seeing signs of spring. The lake may still be frozen, but the snow is mostly gone, the birds are more active, and it just seems like spring is here. One of my favorite parts of spring is seeing the sunsets start to move across the horizon toward the north. looking out from the camp across the lake you can really tell what time of year it is by where the sun is setting. It has been creeping it's way back to the warmer weather area for a while now. It is almost back in sight for the TupperCam. I happened to look at the TupperCam last night at the right time, and was able to capture this image of the sunset.



A couple of more weeks and the lake should be thawed. in no time we'll be back out in the kayaks snapping tons of pictures again. I love summers at the lake!
