Traditional Update

Seems like every year around Veterans Day, Pop and Lawman find their way to the lake to do a little fishing before the cold sets in. This year was no exception. Cupcake was on another whirlwind adventure for HCA so the men folk had free time. They loaded up and spent the day looking for crappie, but all they found was bass 😛

The water was down five or six feet on the lake, so the whole day was a challenge, but a bad day fishing still beats a good day at work.

Cupcake came home by the weekend, and we had a special treat. Pop made a big pot of soup Friday night and cut us out a batch that we enjoyed Saturday night.

We did a couple of regular things over the weekend. We prepped three slabs of pork belly for bacon.

BJ's had cranberries on sale, so we bought a bag that was big enough for two batches of cranberry sauce. We canned it to save for Christmas.

And one morning we were out in the porch enjoying a cup of coffee and noticed an orange doo dad on the persimmon tree. Apparently we both missed one back when we picked the fruit for our Christmas jam, so we sliced it up and had a special treat with our coffee.

We ended the week with a deer meat loaf and smashed potatoes. And a nap.
