Jerad with his first bull elk

Pentoga Road

Talk about a little guy on Christmas Day! Jerad has been out with his uncle the past ten days or so traipsing up and down the mountainsides of Montana in search of mule deer and elk. Jerad scored his first deer several days ago when he brought down a big buck then bagged this beautiful bull elk the day before yesterday.

We'll look forward to hearing some wild and wooly stories in the days to come.

Thursday was a long and busy one. Having an appointment in Green Bay, we were on the road before 5 AM and didn't see Pentoga Road again until 5 last night. Traffic was fairly heavy, but moved right along and we made good time traveling both ways.

Sargie's been working for the past several evenings on her projects for "Bras for a Cause," a huge fundraiser event held this weekend in Iron Mountain to support breast cancer research.

This year, Sargie made two, one to honor her mother, the other for her sister, both of whom had breast cancer.

As with all types of cancer, it's a horrible disease for which, hopefully, a cure can be found.

Meag and Ben will be pulling in later this morning for a visit. We're looking forward to visiting with the young 'un's and hearing of their adventures and travels. Meag wrote last night saying they'd been in the Grand Marais area of the UP and had hiked eleven miles along Lake Superior on the Pictured Rocks Trail yesterday. My kind of kiddos.

OK, time to move along. Sargie works from 9 to 5 today. I hope to get the wood furnace moved out to under the lean to at some point, the lawn sweeper run over the grass, and maybe, just maybe, the grass cut for one last time. On the other hand, we may just get to gabbing and it will all be a moot point.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...

I found this picture last night.
I'd just arrived home from Boston last week and Hambone was at the airport to meet me. As a favor to Pawpaw, he insisted he pull my luggage. When it became too difficult, I lifted him onto the suitcase and took him for a ride out to the car.
