~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Our oldest daughter Amanda and daughter-in-law Darcie both love to knit Jude, seems like they both have a project or two that they're working on. I've eaten elk a few times and in my opinion it's one of the best eating wild game out there.

Now you've got me wanting Chinese food Rava lol. Not sure the last time we've had any.

How did Mr D make out with the barn door dill, or is that today's job?

We got the new power pole put up and the waterer all set up yesterday Ginger, not just to wait for the guys with the bucket truck to get the overhead powerline put back up.

Not much on the agenda for me today, but I do need to get my laundry done so I'll get on that sometime this morning.

Here's a few of the drywall pics Adam sent me, kind of shows the stages when drywalling...

Thanks, ABC. I love the size. It will be perfect for their lake retreat.

I think prime rib is the main course tonight at the family dinner but I did hear talk of a little elk too. Jude, you're so right about game, it's all about how it's prepared. When the boys were still home and I was cooking meat for them, I'd brown the steaks of whatever they'd killed, make gravey from the drippings and put it all in the crackpot on low for the day. When we'd get home it was tender and ready to eat with mashed potatoes. That was one of their favorites!

Waves to all! I'll take another day.

Jude, I enjoy both knit and crochet and have a lot of yarn that I should use up. A "stashghan" sounds like a great plan! Making an afghan is a great winter project. I don't know if I have the patience for it right now, but I have made afghans in the past and they are great to have around!

Cowboy, thanks for the pics. The cabin looks like it is coming together nicely! We got one door frame put nearly put together and will finish that up today. Then we'll have our son come over to help hang it on the track. That will take 3 of us. The doors will be metal which Mr. D has on order but it's not going to arrive for two more weeks. Until then the door frame will just be hanging, waiting for the metal to be put on. Only one of the 4 door panels was absolutely necessary to get done as the others are still holding up. But we are going to do all four. Since Mr. D didn't know how things would go, and because materials are so expensive, he only bought enough to do the one door. It's going pretty well though and we will probably be ordering more materials soon.

Rava, I love Chinese food. I am still upset about the time that our favorite Chinese restaurant in town was torn down to put up a Walgreens, of all things!! We really haven't had any good Chinese food around here since then and that was about 20=25 years ago!

Ginger, that crockpot meal had my mouth watering!

I best go get best with the door project. 24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.
