Applesauce
It's Columbus day this weekend and Kelly gets Monday off, so we headed to Palmyra to learn the fine art of applesauce making. Kelly's grandma makes applesauce every year and it's a family tradition. Kelly always tries to steal a few jars when we visit. The process is pretty simple. Cook the apples with a little bit of water, run them through the grinder, and add just a bit of sugar. Kelly's family recipe always ends up kind of pink because they leave the skins on the apples when they cook them.

Good Morning !!!!
The church has now assigned the Facilities Managers to be involved in the "nut & bolts" part of Recreational Camps if there is one in your area. Teancum Timbers out of Dayton Washington is in my area. Yesterday they had a camp council meeting (I am on the council) so Mom and Weston went with me and wandered around while I was in the meeting. It is a very pretty location and we enjoyed the trip (although it was an all-day thing). Mom and Weston went on a scavenger hunt and saw all kinds of things. The scouts there told them they had seen a bear. That shortened the trip and they returned to the safety of the pickup. Weston is standing on a foot bridge over the Touche River.
This is Mom's arm with a woolly caterpillar. I guess this means it will be a long cold winter.
Exon-Mobile is moving 200 of this type of loads of oil equipment to the Tar Sands oil field in Alberta, Canada. They are made in Korea, shipped to Portland, barged to the port of Lewiston and trucked to Canada. Moscow, being the liberal anti-everything community that it is, has protesters that demonstrate every time a load goes through. I had wanted so see what the loads looked like so Thursday Mom and I went down and parked in the Rosauers parking lot and waited. Just before 11:00 pm three loads rolled through. There were only two protesters arrested that night. These are 208' long and weight as much as 250,000 to 300,000 lbs. (notice all the wheels).
Tuesday, John and Madalyn came to pick up the boat. We had everything ready - cleaned, new tires, packed wheel bearings, and I even bought a set of magnetic temporary lights. Everything worked like a charm. They arrived in Utah without a problem. It was sad to see it go but we both felt good about it returning to Utah and staying in Grandpa Backlund's family. John has plans to fix it up and use it for fishing. Any thoughts on Grandpa Zirker's boat?
