So glad you have been off visiting..And home made fruit cakes is yummy..Randys aunt made it all the time..She use to get syringes from the hospital..Not used ones of course..!!!!!!!!  And inject the Brandy right into the cake..We use to laugh like crazy if we were over when she was doing it..!!!  Made the best cake ever..!!!!As well as super moist..!!  Not sure I can go back to the regular cake..!!!  Did get the last of the grocery shopping done this morning..Was p and out the door before 8:30 and finished shopping by 9.. In and out quick..The parking lot was starting to fill up by the time I got out of there..!!!!!  Town was nuts..!!  Even our little one..

Hi Patricia..Am realy pleased with the painting and it is finished now.. Was going to send a pictureof it anyway to show you what I was working on..Have already picked out what I will paint next.. It is one along the same trail.. I don't always walk along the River with the bear..I like to be up at Elk Flls and along the river that feeds it.. There are no fish there because of the falls and the dam..The fish can not make it up the falls. The picure I sent you does not give you the idea that it is probably 100feet down into the gorge from the top.. I was standing on the old platform Use to be the only way to see the fall and now they have built a suspention bridge over top so you can veiw it from above..  I love to go into the park..Also most tourists do not even know how to get down to it..!!!  They just to to the suspention bridge..  I don't like it to get down it is all metal stairs..Hard on my knees..!!!!!!!!   The other one is all trail.. The dirt trails are much easier on the knees for walking..!!!
