Ink’s Lake Camping

Last week Ron and I went camping for the week to Ink's Lake State Park.  We meet our wonderful  friends for a couple of days and the Stacer’s joined up for a few as well. 

We hiked, biked, fished, visited, played and simple enjoyed the blessings of life.

First afternoon chatting with the friends and the first sunset of the evening.   The next day Alan, Ron, Ashley and Aaron set up the tent for the boys.

Adam and I played.

Rain & Cooking = Perfect Day

What a perfect day for cooking – God blessed us last night with 4.45”s of rain .  Light rain continued mid day

which called for homemade soup & southern biscuits.  I searched for a butternut soup recipe and found

one and tweaked it so much  I should re-write it.   Butternut squash, onions, celery, carrots, garlic,

etc. etc.    It is delicious I must say -   then there is nothing better then a biscuit from scratch -

thank you Alton Brown   here’s his southern-biscuits recipe.    Turn up the country and chop & cook away.
