Bow season started 9/30 and gun season starts 11/18. My sister and her hubby bagged three, two were donated to the food pantry. I can always tell when gun season opens because you see the deer hanging at the butchers waiting for processing.

Bow season started here also. Gun season starts the Monday after Thanksgiving. The schools in PA are actually closed Monday because of it. Apparently there are so many hunters in PA (most guns per capita in the USA), that half the kids would be absent.:confused: I found it weird when I moved here and found that out. Dh and I are definitely not backwoodsy hunter/fishing people, so it was an interesting fact. Just about every family we know goes hunting on Monday. At a Christmas party a few years back when 2 of my girls took dance, one of the food offerings was deer. At that point I was still an omnivore, but I refused to touch it. I only would eat chicken or beef. Never ventured towards wild game.

Oh my, glad you didn't hit it.

I think I posted about this right after it happened, so sorry if this is a repeat...
I was on my way to work through another neighborhood without fences a little while back where the deer roam free. A deer bolted from a front yard into the street about 50 ft. in front of me and skidded in front of a GMC 4x4 pickup coming in the other direction, that then rolled it with the undercarriage. I drove by just in time to see it's convulsing corpse. Lovely start to my morning. :cyclops:

We drove past a carcass (road splatter) a few days ago. My daughter says "well hmmm" so I said "what?" She says "I wonder where the head went." :hungover: :joyfull: Not much farther down the road someone had plowed into a coyote and spun it to the side of the road.

Part 2:

We continued to check the castle, which is pretty big.
Id say you can easily take up to 4 hours just the castle portion.
As there is always other art displays (there were a lot of Day of the Death sections and even a temporal showroom displaying "luxury jewerly" from different countries)

The display for Mexico has alot of important artifacts.
From clothing, to small statues and memorabilia. Also things that existed back then or were used to make important things.
Like the plaques to make coinage and money paper.

I have no idea if the jewerly were copies or not. But the text said these usually contained very expensive stuff.
Including Rubies and Sapphires, even Diamonds.
The most ridiculous one was from a Mexican Cardinal, it was the size of a medallion (almost as big as 10cms with a full giant sized oval Ruby )

And gold Clocks..

There was also a famous "door" made by Russians intended for an English palace.
Porfirio Diaz supposedly decided to buy it. Even if it had the symbols and logos of the Royal English lion.

Looks like a fantastic trip!!! I love all that historic jazz - especially the clothes and architecture...they really knew how to dress with style! (I feel like modern clothes are so "blah" compared to some of the historic fashion trends.)

@MOXOMUMD , what's the plan for the Christmas cookies? Will DD bake some batches of one kind of cookie, and you'll make batches of another kind? Or, do you both work together as a team on the same cookie recipe, cooking a full batch, before moving on to the next recipe? Also, I wasn't sure if she was old enough to handle baking by herself. I do know, however, that she made some nice dinners for you when you were laid up this year. :hungry:

I try not to bake cookies around the holidays, because I end up eating most (sometimes, all . . . :cautious: ) of them. :p

We bake one type of cookie then move on to the next as a team. It's quicker that way. It's also easier to clean up. That's the part I hate. My daughter's been baking on her own since she was about 8 with supervision. Over the past few years she's been doing it on her own. This will be the first year she does the Thanksgiving meal by herself. Herb roasted turkey bre-ast, real mashed potatoes with turkey drippings gravy, broccoli/cauliflower casserole, yeast rolls and pumpkin gingerbread pie for dessert. :hungry:

Ours 2 boys are the 8th and 10th of 10 grandchildren my mom has...it's been kind of freaky seeing all the boys (there are 7 boys and 3 girls) grow up...the oldest is 16 right now. Amazingly handsome and kind young man. Funny story...my sister and step-sister gave birth the same day, in the same hospital, and my oldest was born a month to the day later. That was a crazy year!

When I was pregnant so were three cousins on my ex's side. August, September, October and November each had a baby born into his family. 2005 was the year of baby showers and births. :joyfull: Funny thing.....we all had girls.

Graffiti Park...yet another "Keep Austin Weird" thing... :rolleyes:

Funny thing is, one of the partners and myself did a feasibility study for the property at the top where the castle structure is, about 6 months ago. The graffiti is painted on concrete retaining walls that were to be for an apartment complex that tanked back in the mid 80's during that economic downturn, and was abandoned. Not sure what the status is now, but, last time I heard, the park was supposed to me "moved". :cyclops:
That is some prime real estate up there at the top with incredible views of downtown. This is the view from the bottom. Sorry, but, I didn't go to the top... :oops: ;)

Loving the food place! Groovy :happy: I would have painted it tiedye paisley with peace sign biscuit graphics. That would be an eyecatcher and pique people's curiousity as to what they sell. :) The food looks delish.

Getting a new mattress and bed frame tomorrow, so I had to move everything stored under my bed out from under there (it's currently under my brother's bed). I enlisted him to help me because I knew that if there were a stray water bottle or piece of trash under there, he wouldn't judge. And he didn't...for the trash. I think he was judging how many flip flops I have stored there for the winter. :hilarious::joyfull:

My motto for flip flops is if you have less than a dozen pairs time to go shopping:D
