Hello loyal friend(s)
Without internet availability, writing a blog required a trip to the library in Brainerd, Minnesota. But now I am back at home in Saint George, Utah, and am raring to get back to my blog.
On August 16, we had Harry Ziegleman, an old high school friend of mine ( we were on the wrestling team together) over for dinner along with his "wife". He lives on the East side of Mille Lacs, (one of the larger lakes in Minnesota) about forty miles from our cabin.
On August 17 our lake neighbor (year round resident ) hosted a dinner picnic for five families near our cabin, It was great fun, with no mosquitoes.
August 27 Joanne and Dave Sufka were at our cabin for dinner. They spend the summer in their Condo about ten miles from our cabin, and the winter months they live in their Condo in
sun River just south of St George, Utah.
The week of August 20-24 The roofing contractor re-roofed our cabin. While they were finishing up the job I discovered he was the man who took care of the Sufka's Condo during the winter, and was friends of Joanne and Dave----Small world--
After the roofing was done I planted grass seed on the dirt that was hauled onto our driveway. See the last blog which has pictures of a handsome guy on Bobcat.
Around Labor Day Cyndy and I took two bike hikes; one near Crosby- Ironton an another from Nisswa to Pequot Lakes, each bike hike was approximately fifteen miles long.
This was taken on our bike hike along the lakes formed by the Iron Mining Range. The lake in the background was one of the mining pits, and is 400 feet deep.
All summer long Cyndy worked on a quilt for me, and by the end of our stay at the cabin she had finished all thirty squares.
September 6 we said goodbye to our cabin and started for home. We stopped to see our friends of 53 years in Kanas City.
Cyndy and our Kanas City friends Sharon and Lyle Bighley. Mr Nut is the shadow taking the picture.
I just had to share this photo of four kids on the Futon at our cabin. look carefully there are four.
Now i am back at home and both Cyndy and I have finished digging out from all the accumulated mails and dealt with the financial stuff.
Last night I made my pizza with some substitutions for missing ingredients. That is why this blog is called Misadventures of Mr Nut. This summer Cyndy purchased a 16 ounce package of regular Jimmy Dean sausage. It only yielded a little over 7 ounces of cooked sausage. A 12 ounce Reduced Fat Jimmy Dean sausage is a much better buy.
Here is my creation for the pizza ready for the oven. I used celery to add crunch to the pizza because we did not have any cauliflower.
Tonight I am going to make Oklahoma Fried Onion Burgers from Cook's Country Aug/Sept magazine, and of course I will be modifying the recipe. Tomorrow's blog.
À bientôt,
Mr Nut
