Thanks Giving - The Pictures

Just so you know  :-)  I actually received these on my new dumb-phone and sent them to my email account. I am sure you all do it all the time but it was a first for me since I am new to the world of dumb-phones.

Anyway here they are:

Here I am getting the connie (here you get to see what they look like) out of the net.

And then I learned how to fillet them. At least now I know the technique though I need more practice.

At the white cross on the other side of the river.

A Fishy Thanks Giving

Last week end was Canadian Tanks Giving. My week end was pretty much all about fish.

I went fishing with C. We went net fishing. He has the net and a boast and it was a lot of fun. We also went across the river and walked around and up to the white cross I can see from the other side of the river where I am usually stuck.
(no pictures, because I didn't have my camera. I'll try to see if I can transfer photos from my new dumb-phone to my laptop and add them later. Right now I don't even have them, I didn't have my phone either but C had his)

It was awesome. What a great week end. I also learned how to fillet connies. I am not good at it yet, but at least now I know what I am supposed to do.

For Thanks Giving lunch I had dry fish that C had given me. What a treat!

I am hoping to learn how to make it.

Thinking of My Two African Boyfriends

I have excellent taste in men. In Johannesburg I have not one but two boyfriends and not only are they good looking but they have great personalities.

For some reason, I am thinking of them today and kind of missing them.

Here is M and the oldest of my boyfriends, Zondie.

This is The Beast a super cuddler sweet guy.

Zondie loves football and is already pretty good at it. 

If I can say so myself, I do have fantastic taste in men :-)

Random Pictures for September 2015

First, Buffalo meat.
A. got a buffalo and I went to visit to see him dry the meat.

A. very generously gave me some buffalo meat and it was very good. I had five meals out of it, first steaks, then I made a stew. Delicious! It was a real treat.

Here are some buffalo prints from Salt Plains in Wood Buffalo National Park

Also bear prints at Salt Plains

Just a view of Salt Plains but looking back away from the plains

And here is the salt around the path of the small salted stream

I also dried some shaggy names. I didn't know they could be dried until I saw a recipe calling for dry shaggy manes.

Traditional canvas tent, looking lovely in the meadow with fall colours.

Star grass, at least that's what I call it because it reminds me of stars in the the dark sky. 

Spruce grouse in a tree. You can see how it is starting to turn white.

 Here is another one trying to hide in the grass

and this is a ruffle grouse... easy to see why

The 34" connie (their real is inconnue I found out) I caught myself with my small fishing rod. I was SO happy. I had enough to share. That was a great feeling. And I now have a fishing story!!!! how cool is that?!?!

 Sun flooding the table at the cabin. What a great time of year. This fall has been absolutely gorgeous.
