Maple Sap Boiling

Our sap is still running, so we have not boiled yet, but local volunteers boiled sap at Hok-Si-La Park. The community was invited visit. We planned on boiling this week, but the weather has not been compliant.

Beautiful day!!!

Heard this guy singing on the way home!

Chocolate fantasy program sponsored by the library.

Super Moon!

It was very cloudy here on Saturday, but we still walked to the beach to watch the moon rise. It was visible for a total of about 10 minutes sporadically, so I only got a few shots.

The next photos are from Friday, where the moon was waxing...

98 % of the disc visible.

Library Gaming

We spent all day Saturday at the library, first having a cookie booth out front, then having fun with the Saturday gaming program. The kids played rock em sock em robots. Board games were available also. and there were three Wii's set up around the library, two on big
screens including the ever popular "Rock Band"

All the computers available for on-line gaming.

We made vanilla pudding!

and home-made ketchup.

Spent 2.5 hours outside the library selling GS cookies. It was VERY cold!

Our meager selling success is probably due to the good folks of Lake City taking pity on us!
