Here we are, after a really crappy week of weather - ice, sleet and SNOW. Our weekend storm dumped about 11 inches on top of the several inches we had. And now, snow in the forecast Tuesday/Wednesday for 2 to 4 inches. Enough already!!!

We got out to breakfast this morning which was nice. I'm working on the computer and B is watching TV after doing a bit of snow plowing. The battery on the SUV needs to be charged again so later he will go get a new battery. Perhaps I will do some baking.

I did get started on cookies. I've been hungry for biscotti and have a great recipe from Giada DeLaurentiis's book Giada's Family Dinners for chocolate anise biscotti. I had purchased red & green chocolate chips the other day so I made the biscotti using them. it looks great and tastes so good! Here is a picture.....

I'm thinking maybe a pumpkin cake roll later today - I have a recipe from when I catered and haven't made it for quite some time. Maybe today is the day.

But first, I'm working on our Christmas Card. I have some pictures chosen - one of B, one of Hone and my picture is lacking. B takes my picture and often catches me with my mouth open or some such thing. He took some yesterday closer up and with my knowledge so I'll see how they are. Not going to send out a card with my picture looking "dumb". So that's today's plan...

December Weather

The weather continues to be varied – up and down temperatures. We have had lots of cold days – several this past week that were below freezing all day. We had two storms this weekend. The first dumped about an inch of snow that was pretty. However, by Saturday afternoon a winter weather advisory was issued for Sunday late afternoon into this morning for the storm that was a surprise hit in the Philly area (if you watched the Eagles game you saw the SNOW).  We were expecting snow, then ice that would then change to rain. Well, when I went to take Honey out at 5:30 AM for her first walk of the day, we skated across the driveway to the crusty grassy area. Not a thick layer of ice on top of the snow that had fallen the day before, but enough to make walking iffy. She did her thing and in we came. It wasn’t raining – more of a misty wetness that has yet to change over to rain. The plow truck was up our hill clearing the road and probably cindering. Our local school district is closed, as are several other districts in the area. Around 9 AM a car went up our road, made it right past our driveway and with tires spinning got stuck. Try as he might, the car was not going to go up – sideways yes, up no. So, he sensibly backed into our driveway a bit and got out. It was the paper person and after tossing our paper onto the driveway he trudged slipping and sliding up the hill to deliver the paper to someone up the road. That was the only car we have seen this morning.  

This weather has helped put us in the holiday spirit. I’ve ordered several Christmas albums on the Internet (love Amazon Prime!). Not much scheduled for today as I plan to work on the Mac and do some things in the kitchen. Just a laid back day. Doubt we will be going anywhere until it warms up enough to melt any ice.

November Snow!

We had several COLD days last week where the temperature did not get above freezing even with the sun shining. Then the forecast indicated a storm from the south and it appeared we would get rain. However, another storm hit us from the west and we awoke this morning to snow - but not much more than a dusting. The local news showed many schools in the area either had a delay of 2 hours or were closed. And the snow kept falling through out the morning. We went out several times to brush off the cars or just take Honey for a walk. Then B went out with the leaf blower (back-pack) and cleared off the driveway and cars.

In the picture above, you can see a bit of the railing that shows we didn't get a lot of snow. This morning the snow was light and so using the blower was a great way to quickly clear the driveway and cars.

Here is Rocket Man going down the drive.

Our local road guy was by earlier pushing the snow off. The middle of the road is clear. It did keep snowing and B kept clearing the car off as we planned to go out to dinner. This afternoon the snow got heavier - almost sleety. While the driveway looked clear it was also a bit icy. So, we cancelled the dinner reservation and will stay home. A smart decision! Rain is on the way and hopefully the mess will be melted by tomorrow.

So, what to have for dinner??? We agreed on Sloppy Joe sandwiches on a hoagie roll. Easy,  rather quick to make and yummy. 

And should the rain be icy or snow, I'm set for Thanksgiving dinner! Turkey is in the refrigerator defrosting. We got a 9 pound Butterball as it's just us and while we like leftover turkey there is a limit to how much! Tomorrow I'll make the cranberry relish. Thankfully we were out shopping late last week so there is really no reason to need to leave the house.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

It's Saturday Already!

We are off to a warm start - it was 37 out when Honey and I took our first walk go the day. After the below freezing daytime temperatures this past week, it was a nice change. 

Yesterday we took a trip to Costco and to get Hess trucks for B. The ride to Jersey is a bit over an hour and after the stop at the Hess Station, another 15 minutes got us to Costco. While we have a Sam's Club closer, we really enjoy Costco.  Found several great things including a set of white china dishes at a very reasonable price. Service for 6 for $99. So, I washed them after we got home which led to a kitchen clean out.  More to do today. It's one of those things that one clean up/neaten leads to another. 

My "to do list today includes raking up acorns. We have a LOT of them and this year Honey has decided they are he go to treat. When we take her out to play in the "play-pen" she eats acorns instead. Can't imagine that too many are good for her so ill do a bit of raking today while B washes a car.  Today should get into the upper 50s and a good day for some outside work. 

A cold start to the new week

Our weather continues to be ever changing - one day warm and the next cool. We finally got some rain this past week which we really needed. The ground is now brown with fallen leaves. Some trees are bare, others still colorful. We were out for a ride this past week and the skies were awesome! I was taking pictures with my phone from the car and am pleased at the quality considering it was taken through the front windshield.

I've been working on using my iMac better. Many (I mean MANY) years ago I had Macs. Then, due to work needs, I had to switch to a PC and I've continued to use them. However, Windows 8 was the straw that broke the camels back - I purchased an iMac. Of course I still have Windows 7 PCs and the bouncing back and forth between the two formats is not making things easy! So I have focused this past week on all things Mac! I've figured out some things, Googled and read to learn other things and am now moving on to understanding iMovie. A new movie camera prompted this and a book from Amazon arrived. Desire and a book should do the trick. 

This morning was COLD - 28 degrees. There was frost on the deck railings but the steps were fine. Moving from daylight savings to standard time has been "interesting" as Honey can't figure out why we aren't feeding her at the "right" time. Even getting up earlier and going to bed later hasn't helped. Yesterday at 3:30 she was asking for her special treat she gets when we move into "happy hour". However, 3:30 is way too early. So, we will adjust slowly and she had her treat at 4 and B and I waited until 5 for drinks. Dinner was rump roast done in the oven. I had forgotten to put a plate under the meat when we it went into the refrigerator after a shopping trip Saturday and the juice made a mess of the bottom shelf in the refrig. I got out the book to be sure I was removing the glass shelf correctly. Of course I had to first remove the produce drawers and then that led to cleaning out the drawers (amazing what I found) and then washing and putting it all back. So, thankfully the meat was in the oven and a glass of wine when done was very appreciated. 

First Weekend in October

We have been having unseasonably WARM weather - and because of that we have been working around the house doing some end of summer chores including blowing leaves and acorns. We also took several "trips" taking my car (a convertable) and driving to various places close by just to enjoy the beautiful weather! Sun, lovely clouds, and a road we hadn't travelled. We went 12 days with no rain, warm days and cool nights.  Friday was gloomy and muggy and we got rain Friday evening and Saturday. This morning it was still muggy and the ground and cars were full of leaves and pine needles. While it hasn't rained today it's been very gloomy and turning cooler. In "honor" of this, I took the day off! And after watching two episodes of "The West Wing", a series I'm viewing since I missed the entire show when it was on TV, I worked on putting pictures on the Mac and organizing them using iPhoto and Elements 11. While not done by a long shot, I at least figured out a few things and have decided upon a system for uploading pictures and then editing and organizing. I find that fun!

Below is a picture I took a bit ago of a tiny frog. We often see these little frogs on the driveway. I've never seen a large frog so I guess this size is about as big as they get. Honey is very interested in them as we often run across them on her potty walks. She just sniffs them and they just hop away. This time, I found one on the leaves of the coleus plant located at the bottom of the steps to the front door. I quickly grabbed my camera and took a lot of shots. This one is rather clear, and I think good!

Isn't it cute???

Shopping at Wegman's

Another cool morning in the 40s however it did warm up.  We had planned to go out on the boat but it was still cool mid morning. After lunch, B suggested a trip to Wegmans which I thought was great! I love Wegmans as they have interesting things and reasonable prices. We got a humongous cauliflower  locally grown, several of the store brand canned soup, some lunch meat, Gorgonzola cheese and a hoagie.  Now hoagies up here are NOT a Jersey hoagie. We even got pepperoni on one hoagie we got. Wegmans has a good hoagie on a tasty roll and we do enjoy it.  That's dinner with some potato chips 😃. It was a nice ride and now I get to make the pork chops for dinner tomorrow. This weekend is the last weekend of the summer of 2013 😱 the leaves have started to fall and we have been having chilly nights. Maybe we will boat sometime over the next few days  

And the Beets go on

I just love beets!  So tonight, I'm cooking some in the pressure cooker...it's just too hot to cook on the stove more than needed. 18 minutes for the 4 beets I bought the other day. And I just love the ease to use the PC. 

8 minutes to go!  We are also having sausage and peppers on a roll. B will have the rest of yesterday's potato salad and I get the beets!  Yum!!!  👍

Enjoying the Lake

Hot day so we decided to take a ride before this afternoons storms arrive. Muggy and quite warm with temps to get up to. The 80s. Lovely out here 

My view looking back and below looking ahead. 

Just enough breeze to be comfortable. 

Nancy's Plant and other things

September already! While we have been having cool days, today is really warming up! We are expecting to get up into the mid to upper 80s if not the low 90s. While we had cooler weather B and I were busy "cleaning". Together we worked on the garage. The garage is storage for all things that are used outside - snow blower, leaf blowers, lawn mower, wheel barrel, wagon (large), portable sink on wheels with side counter... well you get the idea, STUFF. Add to that the things that get taken to the garage and not put away (we both do that) and it was a very cluttered, very full space! No room for cars. Our goal was to weed, toss, organize, give away and generally consolidate all the stuff to fit at least one car in the garage for the winter. AND WE DID IT! It looks great! A new shelf unit, lots of things tossed or given, sorting into plastic containers that are labeled and as much as possible on shelves. While there is no car in there yet, it's now possible! A job well done and we are both pleased.

While this was going on, we were doing some tasks on our "to do" list. One of my things was to re pot a plant Nancy, our next door neighbor in South Jersey, had given me. Now I'm not even sure Nancy (who does check this blog every so often) will remember the plant. It's got stickers on it and drops the fern like leaves several times a year. So Nancy, here is a picture of it repotted.

Nancy and her husband were wonderful neighbors! We missed them when they moved and we still lived in South Jersey. Nancy would take care of our first Lab who was also named Honey. Now Honey was strong and Nancy was rather slender but Aunt Nancy and Honey were best buds! We still miss you guys!!

Another thing I did while it was cooler was make some whole wheat bread in my bread machine since one of my cleaning tasks was to move some stuff in the down stairs area where I store kitchen overflow. So, after organizing flour and baking supplies, I decided to try a new recipe. So easy - just add ingredients and turn the machine on. This is a dense bread but it wasn't "heavy" and was quite tasty as the recipe called for maple syrup. Below is the bread fresh out of the pan. Yum!

Boating on the Lake

The past week has been rather cool - into the low 40s overnight. The days have made up for that - they have been lovely! Temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s, sun and the most beautiful clouds I've seen for a long time.

We were out on the lake several times taking morning meanderings once to get gas and several times just to enjoy. As Captain, B took it slow and I, as First Mate, relaxed, took pictures, and handled the lines when docking. Pictures taken while under way.

Boating

We were boating today. The Captain and me the First Mate. Yo Ho Ho. But no bottle of rum just an orange and an apple 

 

And I got to steer!

A HOT Sunday

After all the rain, it's hard to complain about it being hot since the sun is shining.  So, I'll just saying its very hot out there.  So we turned the air on last evening and are really glad we did. Today we were in the upper 80s and it was muggy. We were out early in the day and B cut the grass in the back while Honey and I supervised  I've been working on the computer and continue to struggle with Windows 8. Really HATE it but I keep at it. Chicken on the grill tonight - a new recipe. Have to get the grill started. The corn is cleaned and the peas ready to be heated. A rather simple dinner but hopefully, good. Cars have been passing the house to make their homeward trip. The lake is much quieter as the noise from the boats and ski jets lessons as the weekend draws to a close. So nice to live at the lake!  

Parsley and oregano growing on the deck. 

And the Rain Continues

Happy July! It's raining...so what's new???

This morning it was overcast but no rain. We stopped at the lake on our way to breakfast to see how things were. The lake is higher and you can see ruts and debris from the force of the rain. We heard on the local news that Hawley, where we go for breakfast, got 5 inches of rain. We drove around a bit on the way home and noticed many ruts along the road and in or along driveways. We attempted to drive around our circle but a rather large tree lay across the road several houses up from ours. Fortunately no electric lines were in the way. Before we got to the tree, we did notice several neighbors had some major erosion as their properties slope down to the road and then to the lake. Fortunately we did not have any damage though there is water coming from the woods in the back down both sides of the driveway. We have culverts on either side of our circle that were filled with rushing water. As the culvert passes under our driveway the water nearly flowed over the driveway. Today there is still water flowing but not with yesterday's force. Right now it's raining again - and the local forecast is for continued rain/thunder storms all week. B suggested we sleep on the boat tonight - "just in case"....yea, sure....good one!  At least this isn't snow!

 Below are some pictures I took yesterday when I ventured out after the rain let up a bit.

From the middle deck down the road - the water is from the two culverts on either side of the road

On the back patio where the water is rushing to the stream

From the back patio out to the stream. We have never seen it this wide!

From the deck looking over the middle deck to the end of the driveway. The water is coming out of the culvert that runs under the driveway

 

Water on the way to the stream and then the lake.

 

 

Rain, Rain and then, MORE Rain!

Boy, along with a large part of the NE, we got a LOT of rain yesterday. While Saturday was cloudy with some rain, it cleared up enough for us to eat outside Saturday evening. Sunday started out dark and rather rainy and then the heavens opened up and it rained...kinda like you would expect it to have rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Thankfully, it just rained all day. Sometimes it tapered off - that's when Honey would dash out for a potty time - but much of the day was heavy rain. A town down the road recorded 4 inches of rain and I would think we got that as well. We were out taking pictures on the way to breakfast. I'm throwing a few up now and will probably have more later.

This is the road at the bottom of our circle.

The lake and access to the lake where the run off from the hill really created a mess!

Shot from the road down to the lake - water still flowing heavy this morning even though the rain has stopped (for the most part)

A busy day

Today was lovely and busy! Sun most of the day with occasional clouds. Because of the pollen and tree crud, we put off cleaning the back area where we have a stone patio and therefore have not been able to cook back there. I did get some flowers planted in the two planters and cleaned off the table and two chairs. We tackled the rest today, power washing the furniture and cleaning up stuff. Between that and general "neatening" it looks nice. I still need to clean the grill - it's on my things to do this week list. Right now it's thundering and the sky has darkened. Just as well as we are tired. I do hope the rain will hold off as we plan to grill chicken on the grill on the wrap-around deck. That along with fresh asparagus and fresh (well, trucked in fresh) corn.

While working outside after lunch, B was in the front getting the bucket and car wash (he has been washing cars daily) when he came charging up the front steps. He raced into the house to shut the slider so Honey couldn't go outside and got a pail of soapy water. The cause for this burst of action was a snake he "found" as he picked up the bucket. Apparently it was after a mouse.  I raced for the camera and took pictures as B dumped water on the bugger and off it slithered.

Right at the bottom of the steps in the garden. At first he "froze" but when B dumped water on it, it started to slither.

And as it slithered, it went after the mouse

And emerged with the poor mouse. Fortunately, B dumped more water at that time and the mouse got away and the snake slithered off. ICKY

Mother's Day Weekend

We had lovely weather over last weekend and the start of the week By Wednesday rain moved and stuck around through Saturday. Today (Sunday) the sun is out and it appears to be the start of a nice day. A bit cooler and tonight we should be down to the low 30s. For that reason I'm holding off planting the herbs I've had on my kitchen window area for the past several weeks. I did clean the planters and move things around on the middle deck so I have an idea of what I will plant where. I'm going to do more flowers and not space them out so much so some of the planters will be moved. I'm thinking of placing several planters along the fenced in area where Honey plays with something that is supposed to be deer proof.

We got the new blinds up in the master and second bedrooms yesterday. They really look great! I then vacuumed and put things away so the main level is really rather neat!

We expect to warm up this week and I'm looking forward to no more heavy coats for evening and early morning walks. More boats are out on the lake and last weekend the summer lake noises were there. This week end it's rather quiet - maybe everyone stayed home due to it being Mother's Day weekend.

Hope to get out this week for more herbs and flowers. Something to look forward to.

Cupboard Elves

I love my cupboards! They are solid pine with movable shelves. However, I think I have a shelf elf! The shelves are adjustable with little holes up the inside so that you can change the height of the shelf. Just last week the under counter cupboard came apart. The little plastic gizmo that fits in the hole had come loose and down came the shelf. Thankfully, I had a high pot below and that held everything up until I fixed it. I do try to check every so often and renewed my efforts. Today I saw, as I emptied the dishwasher, that the gizmo was missing in the second shelf that holds glasses. I found it, replaced it, and all is good. Tiny problem, good solution, I do still love my kitchen cupboards! Now if I could just get that elf to stop taking the gizmo out!

A nice but gloomy day

We just got back from Tractor Supply - a store that's geared toward farm and animals. It's in Hamlin, about 15 miles and B suggested it as it was too gloomy and wet to work outside as we had planned. Not being one to turn down a shopping expedition, off we went. The last time we went I found a pair of boots that were perfect for outside in the wet woods when walking Honey. So, I headed to that area again and found another perfect pair more like a cowgirl boot mid calf rather than knee high. So, I'm booted up for outside wear! We also got Honey some food, a toy and a new leash. We use the retractable kind that lets us pull her in when need be. And, B got a western type shirt and two "generic" caps (no logo). So, while not a long trip, it was profitable for all three of us!

Gloomy day but warmish with temperatures in the low 60s. Monday was really nice with sun and temperatures in the mid 60s. Those darn fly like May bugs are out. Why they are called May bugs when then arrive in April I don't know. Perhaps because they stick around until May. They don't bite but really swarm around you so you end up swatting them. 

Leftover lasagna for dinner. I made a casserole dish full Sunday and will heat it up in the oven with a large salad and some fresh sugar snap peas. While we have cooked out on the grill twice so far, I'm really looking forward to eating outside when it gets a bit warmer. Maybe later this week.

It's SPRING

Finally, it feels like spring! Yesterday was so lovely. Temperatures got up to the lower 70s and we enjoyed being out with no coats. The daffodils are growing and B has raked the area to the side of the driveway. We are going to celebrate with hamburgers on the grill - our first of many cook outside meals. Happy Dance!

More cold weather! It was 18 this morning and went up a bit and is now dropping. The snow, that started as little hail like dots, has turned to flakes. The current temperature is 28 ant the weather people say we could get up to 5 inches but then change to rain.

This morning we went to Tractor Supply about 15 miles from here. B likes their "stuff" and I like their boots and clothes. We both like their dog toys. Today B got two things... A tire gage and a miniature soldering (and I thought it was soddering) gun. I got a "cowgirl shirt..pink no less! I have gotten two pairs of low boots there and checked them out but didn't get anything. Then we found several toys for Honey. Another "chuck it" a frisbee type toss it toy and 2 stuffed animals, one called 'the flea'. Honey loved them!! It's now 6 PM. Snow really heavy. Might have to do breakfast at home :(. And here is a Honey picture with her new Flea.

After a mild weekend and start of the week, it turned cloudy and cold. We had overcast skies Monday and colder temperatures by Wednesday. Snow flurries arrived Wednesday afternoon into this morning. There was enough snow that the windshield needed to be scraped this morning. We finally got above freezing this afternoon.

March Snow

We got more snow today. It started last night and this morning we had over 3 inches on the railing. Since it started while it was above freezing, yesterday we had nothing on the driveway or roads. However, overnight temperatures below freezing gave us covered cars and snowy roads. Since we had a morning appointment, B went out to clean the 4 wheel drive Volvo off using this nifty "sweeper" that cleans the car off very quickly. As he was working a herd of deer came out of the woods across our street and into the wooded area between our house and our neighbor. Honey, of course, went crazy and I took pictures from inside the house.

I guess about 8 deer came through. They were back this afternoon driving Honey crazy again.

Our trip into town was slow due to the snow but we had no problems. B drives well in the snow not going to fast. The trip home was much more enjoyable as most of the roads were clear of snow. Right now (3:45 PM) the sun is out, the driveway is clear and the snow is disappearing. Tomorrow the temperatures should be up into the 40s and Sunday, while cloudy, it should be even warmer. With the clocks moving ahead for daylight savings time, hopefully this is the last snow storm of the winter. We are ready for spring!

A Relaxing Sunday

It's been a laid back weekend. Friday we had ice - a very thin cover over the steps and driveway. Honey and I slid our way out and limited additional walking to when it got a bit warmer!

Today has been rather gloomy and while above freezing, it's cold out there. Right now its doing something - small snow flakes that come and go. Right now B is watching the Daytona 500 and Honey is asleep.

Dinner tonight will be roasted chicken. We purchased a SuperWave Oven at Costco the other week and this is the second chicken I'll make in it. It is a large class bowl with the controls on the lid and it cooks by a combination of halogen, convection and infrared heat technology (their words, not mine). It did cook the chicken faster last week and the chicken was VERY tasty. So, I'm doing it again with another Purdue chicken that's about 6 pounds. That gives us leftovers all week. This time I'm also cooking 2 baking potatoes and 2 carrots that I just added after cooking the chicken 25 minutes breast down. I turned it over, put in the veggies and back on for about 40 minutes. We will have a salad with it - a nice meal for a gloomy Sunday. I forgot to take pictures last week so I'm hoping to remember this time.

Last weekend in February - we will be glad when all the snow melts and it gets a bit warmer.

A Beautiful Snow Fall

This morning we awoke to a lovely site - the snow fall overnight was just beautiful! I got the camera and took pictures before we even cleaned the car off. Often the snow will melt or the wind will blow and what was once beautiful loses something. Here is what we saw

From the driveway looking at the sun just coming up

A bit later, I looked up at the trees still wearing the snow

At the end of the driveway looking at the house

And then we drove to the lake and saw the sun 

And I turned and got a picture of the shore line and the trees with all the snow

By the time we got back from breakfast much of the snow on the trees had melted. At the lake we could see prints on the ice/snow of both foot steps and snow mobile tracks. We have seen people out on the lake with tents and such ice fishing. That is something we are NOT about to do! This was really a great snow - looked nice and melted fast!

Well, where is the snow???

We have been told to expect the Blizzard of 2013 - where is it???  A small dusting of snow fell overnight and the forecast predicts, when all is said and done, we will have 4 to 8 inches. This amount changes hourly so who knows! As of now, snow should start in the afternoon and continue overnight into Saturday. We did stop and to take a few pictures this morning on our way to breakfast.

This was taken rather early in the morning :) 

The shore line shows no snow and just a bit on the ground by the trees

Also, on the way to breakfast this morning, we passed the lake overlook by the dam and there were several fisher persons out on the lake doing their thing. Not something we would do even in warm weather! 

Well, we are ready for the snow, the snow blower is filled and we have extra fuel. Now we wait! 

Who is Nanook of the North??

Like much of the East coast, we are experience really cold temperatures - soon to be colder! Right now it's 22 out. Yesterday we had snow showers and by this morning we had a bout 2 inches - but it was rather light crunchy snow. B cleaned the car off and we did get out to breakfast! We both bundled up. As I entered the diner I said, "I look like Nanook of the North!" Now this is something I say a lot when I'm all bundled up. I don't think most people get what I'm saying - that it's really cold out and I'm layered up to keep warm. So, I wondered, who is Nanook? When I got home, I Googled it and found he was an Eskimo (which is what I thought but wasn't sure) However, how did I know about him? Well, I'm sure it was my parents who first used that statement when I was a child.

Nanook of the North is a 1922 silent documentary film by Robert J. Flaherty. Nanook is an Inuit who with his family lived in northern Quebec, Canada. The first nonfiction work on this scale, this film was considered ground-breaking. It captured an exotic culture in a remote location. A DVD of the film was released and in 2005 was reviewed by Roger Ebert in a rather lengthy review. Part of the review states:
The film is not technically sophisticated; how could it be, with one camera, no lights, freezing cold, and everyone equally at the mercy of nature? But it has an authenticity that prevails over any complaints that some of the sequences were staged. If you stage a walrus hunt, it still involves hunting a walrus, and the walrus hasn't seen the script. What shines through is the humanity and optimism of the Inuit. One of the film's titles describes them as "happy-go-lucky," and although this seems almost cruel, given the harsh terms of their survival, they do indeed seem absorbed by their lives and content in them, which is more than many of us can say.


So, should you hear me refer to Nanook, now you know who he is! And I learned something also.
