Carolyn's Little Homestead

Carolyn's Little Homestead Hi Everyone I thought of all of you during the whole weekend and am really thinking about trying to make the Christmas party at Kermits!! That is a time inbetween ranch goingson - so if I can find someone to feed the sheep and cows during that time I could possibley be there. Yeah! Great fun to think about! I have attached a couple of pictures I took today....One of the stacked hay for this winters feed and the other of my working dog McDuff and me on the 4wheeler. (we had just gone to the mailbox and back)_ We get mail here 3 times a week so mail day is kind of a big deal. I set the camera on the fence post and did a time delay and whala there we are. Behind me is the 'heated' shop, the back of my old pick-up carrying a firefighting outfit (that I pray not ever have to use). I do miss alot about CA but I am blessed to be here!! Love ya all CarolynWojcikSchroeder (Wildflower) Oh and a picture of my 100year old house. Posted on 8/7/07; 9:47:16 PM by Jack Mancilla Dept.Get togethers, Mumblings, Comment (0)

Gary's Excuse

One out of four To all, There was a grand reunion in Fallbrook last weekend for graduates of Fallbrook High School. I was unable to attend because I was on top of the Continental Divide in Colorado backpacking with my two sons Grant and Glenn and their two friends (making four antelopes and one old goat). There was a peak that I wanted to make being that I'm 60, it is Mt. Hope. When I thought I had the summit in my grasp I found that I had just covered the last rise before the true top. My knee was talking very loudly to me, and so had to stop with just 200 vertical feet (of rocky terrain) to go. So I named the little peak, "Close Hope" and considering that it was at 12,600 feet maybe that's not too bad for a bald fat guy. Hugs to all, Gary There is a gallery of Gary's images. ... Just click on the picture of the tuckered out Gary on the right. — Jack Posted on 8/7/07; 6:41:11 AM by Jack Mancilla Dept.Mumblings, Comment (0)
