Visitors Information

Let me give you a little run down of what we did this week.

We took Jo, Mom and Bart to "The Ledge".  We took Mom's wheelchair

and strolled all over the entire grounds, up top and down below.

We went to the little gift shop and struck gold.  They had pins, pins

on sale for .15-.50 cents.  Yeah!  We all loaded up.  I bought an Alberta

wild rose pin for Mom, I picked up some post cards and playing cards

for me and Jo bought several pins, some for trading.

 Me and Chris took them the the Italian bakery.  We love the

Italian bakery.  They make a mean sandwich, but we went for treats.

 The sweet, wonderful little circles are called hockey pucks,

they are divine.  They are made up of two pieces of tasty cake,

 filled with delectable frosting/whipped cream and covered with

 chocolate.  Jo got one too and Chris picked the double dipped

cream puff.  

 But, just as good as the Italian bakery, possibly even better is

 this mouth-watering, fruit covered, pavlova.  Yum!

I made one of these for Courtney and Courtney, I just had to

make another one to share with our latest visitors.

If you want to come visit, I'll make one for you too.

 Jo brought me this "fluffy" little chick.

 And between Mom, Jo and Bart, they brought us these priceless

works of love.  There is nothing more precious than these bottles of

homespun goodness.

 Bart brought us some fresh raspberry jam, and I mean fresh,

he bottled it just a week ago and chokecherry syrup.

 Mom brought me mustard pickles, a must have to eat with roast beef 

and sweet pickles, just in time, I'm down to my last bottle of each.

That's one thing I've really missed, preserving.  It was always hard work,

time consuming and a pain to do, but there is nothing like the sight

of all those bottles lined up on the counter, not to mention the taste.

 Jo brought me some hot pepper jelly and these other fun gifts.

A church pin for me and Chris, a primary zipper pull and two

dandy wash rags.   They are too precious to call rags though,

I choose to call them hot pads.  There, that sounds better.

Wow, the visit was so appreciated, and the things they brought

are just icing on the cake, so to speak.
