The door is ajar....come on in. Spend a minute & share a slice of life. The coffee is piping hot & breakfast isn't far away. I'm thinking a good ol' breakfast sandwich on an English muffin will do. Gotta get moving.....big doin's today. It's the Whoopie Pie festival in Dover. (Gobs to you PA people). Taste test 10 different whoopie pies & vote for the best. Then up to North camp to open it for the season. Tomorrow another busy day. A seadoo ride, then to Fort Knox and while there go up the 420 foot high observatory tower. While we are there, say "Happy Birthday Fred!". Yup....tomorrow I will officially be a geezer.....62!

Yup, Linda made it back safely. Anyone need a starter home near Pittsburgh? Her house is for sale. It's in Irwin, about 15 miles from the city.

Enjoy this wonderful weather!

Mornin everyone. Great idea for breakfast Freddy, homemade egg mcmuffins. Sounds like you have a busy weekend in store, just be careful with the Gobs, they can be addictive.
Supposed to be a nice weekend, I have to make some changes to my chicken coop as the chicken are roosting on the edge of the nesting boxes. Boy is that creating a mess.

Take care and be safe all.

Happy Early Birthday Fred!

The plan is to get back to the deck rail this weekend and get it finished. Also hope to finish repainting the tractor rims and getting the tubes & tires on and filling them. I'll see what other distractions pop up too.

Have a great weekend.

Good morning. I have some maple sausage in the pan, that will get the kids fired up while I enjoy some coffee.

Good luck with the house sale Freddy, hopefully it doesn't take as long as mine! Still no luck selling mine, and it has now been a full year. On the bright side, an unexpected job opportunity popped up in our area that would eliminate the need to sell the house. Fingers crossed that it works out.
