Look Who Came To Dinner

Hi Everyone!

I got a surprise e-mail while I was visiting my parents for the Thanksgiving holiday from the woman that owns Chester the Peacock. You may remember him, he was hatched with an injured leg back in the spring of this year.

He has grown up a lot since I first wrote about him (here near the bottom), and (here when he went crabbing), and here when modeled for a photo-shoot, and I said my goodbye's to him here at the end of the boating season.


Guess who came by for Thanksgiving breakfast? His human mom even laid out a placesetting for him. I understand he likes just about anything people like and begs terribly while standing on the kitchen counter while Mom and/or Dad cooks.


Chester . o O (Do you think mommy will notice I sampled hers?)

:)


Chester . o O (Eat, drink and then just lay back and relax by the fire... Ahhhhhh!)

Or should I have captioned this, "Chester's Nuts Roasting Over an Open Fire?"

I suspect I need to put his name on the Christmas card I send to his mom and dad!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just crack up laughing looking at Ernie's face.

Enjoy! :)

Gone Fishing

On Saturday, I went to the western end of the Perkiomen trail and into Green Lane Park - As a young boy, my parents often took my brothers and I to this park to swim and then later to have a picnic diner.

Sometimes we would go to the Candlewick Restaurant (which burned down when I was in school and the grounds are now a housing development) and sometimes we went to the smorgasbord served at the Schwenksville firehouse (which now has a nice BBQ Chicken event but no smorgasbord dinners) instead of grilling burgers and hot dogs in the park. No matter where we ate, it was always tasted really good after hours of swimming in the lake.

I put the pictures I took on Saturday (here). I hope you will take a peek.

This park, the largest of the Montgomery County parks, consists of over 3400 acres and three beautiful lakes totaling 870 acres.

Just to illustrate - a typical block in Manhattan (New York City) is about 6.4 acres, meaning the lakes at Green Lane Park would cover about 135 city blocks!

It is miles from one end of the park to the other end and it is laced with walking (and horseback riding) trails. Unfortunately, you can no longer swim here so that is a now just a fond memory of the past.


Could this be Cappy and I fishing in Deep Creek Lake?

The road from Green Lane goes to Red Hill and on to East Greenville. Colorful, huh?

I will be very busy over the next view days - so if I don't get the chance later - I want to wish you all, a very Happy (and safe) Thanksgiving holiday.
