An annual tradition with the boys. Bishops Farm. I joined them in the corn maze for the first time 🙂 Fresh apple cider slushies! YUM!
My brother in law and his girlfriend joined us for the weekend. They treated us to a wonderful meal called ‘Matambre’. It is a dish made of meat (flank steak) stuffed and rolled with vegetables, Â and served with chimichurri sauce. It was quite the production that escalated a typical family meal to something very special. […]

Time for some quiet country living! A visit with Grandma Margaret and Grandpa Randy in Sagle. Always nice to see the cows down the road, even though I never see them the next year. (Beef). The owner buys two cows a year and has them graze for a period of time, then they become many […]
