Very lazy day

Good morning,
What a lazy day yesterday. Other than go to church, we did very little. Didn't even add anything to this blog! No wood cut, but there was some drizzle coming down, so didn't miss the discomfort any. We even stayed up late watching a documentary on the end of the Civil War that I had not seen before. Didn't finish it though as it really got tired out.
I did manage to build a stuffed squash for lunch though. We went to the early church service, so I had time to prepare it. Actually we bought a small butternut squash a bit ago. I tried a different recipe using apples, raisins, and cinnamon to the hamburger mixture for the stuffing. It was a bit different and rather good. We managed to polish off the entire squash, but there is some extra stuffing for lunch today.
After church we always go to Algoma (to make sure the city hasn't fallen into the lake yet) and stop at one of the grocery stores to check out the new bargains of the week. I picked up some pork neck bones, so started some soup after lunch. Cooked the meat most of the afternoon, then added the beans. I will finish it today, so we should have soup for lunch most of the week. Sure smelled good cooking.
From the sounds of it, the deer kill around here was up some on Saturday, but down on Sunday from the registrations taken. We had some snow on the ground Saturday, but it disappeared Sunday, accounting for more deer taken. Heard less shooting Sunday too. It is not good weather to keep venison, so they have to be butchered pretty quickly. Wonder how the guys are doing at the cabin. Monday through Wednesday is usually the quiet time in camp. Also the time when I shot most of my deer over the years too. I don't Carol is still alive and Frank died a number of years ago (the matriarch and patriarch of the camp), but it usually would be only Frank, Carol, sons Leo and Rex and/or Eleard in camp along with me. It was a really nice quiet, family type experience. Wednesday night, those who had to work started to come back into camp again and everything became very noisy and active again. Played a lot of cribbage and had many good times.
I did manage to watch a very good NASCAR race yesterday. Not many accidents and some really good racing. It was a long race, time-wise, and the final for the season. At least a couple of Fords won the race, but I wonder what I will watch on TV for the rest of time until the racing season starts again. Maybe some bull-riding?
While looking for something else, I found a floppy disk we carry with us when we travel containing information we can swap between the notebook and these machines when necessary. One of the files on the disk is an address file. It will totally make the task of recouping the address books so much easier. I had totally forgotten about the disk, or that we bought an external floppy drive for the notebook just for that purpose. I suspect some of the email addresses at least will be a bit outdated, but at least I have the majority of them.
Time to get the day a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
