Susan and I cooked a turkey with the fixing’s for Mark and Sue. The girls got to try out the 22 rifle. Gillian tried it when she was here in July, so she was an old hand at it.


Mark showing the girls how it’s done.


Claudia lining up her shot with some help from behind.

Next up was driving the tractor. Claudia giving it a try under Tukka’s watch.


Angela was determined to drive everything.

We made a 24 lb turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, broccoli, corn that was par boiled back in the summer, and squash from the garden. It was delicious.

Next it was the quad.


Then she took Susan for a ride around the yard.


and me.


We went into Mount Horeb for the Art Fair. they close off the main street and artisans sell their wares.


We drove down to the City of Monroe, it is known as the Swiss Cheese capital of the world. There were a bunch of space themed statues.

Gillian got to something she wouldn’t do in Canada. Mark showed her how to shoot a 22. She was aiming for a peanut bottle filled with water out in the field.


To Mark’s surprise she hit it a couple of times, you can see the water dripping out the bottom.


Only in America!


My turn.
