Prine Wonderful. . .

Once a month, us ladies of the lake and surrounding areas get together for Ladies Night.  We have a few spirits, play darts (crib/bean bag) and in general have a good time lip flappin'.

Last night I was sitting having my spirit with two other ladies, one which mentioned she was from Ireland.  I asked, well - which part of Ireland are you from.  Donegal.  hmm...I thought I think this is part of the heritage of Fiona Whelan Prine.  I reply...do you know of John Prine...oh for the love of Prine ...she starts singing That's The Way That The World Goes Round...

and that's the way that the world goes round...it Prines' even on the mountain side.  

Bernadette Bruno

Bernadette Bruno is the name I have given to a black bear that comes near to being a permanent residence here on the mountain side.  He/she is a good bear; although it does frightened the hell out of me when I am not watching my surroundings.  In general Bernadette Bruno is a pleasure to watch.  Here are a few pictures.

Eating berries.  About 5 feet away from the porch steps. 

It has heard something on the main road.

My favorite picture and still eating berries!

Happy Birthday John Prine

and many more to come.  Cheers!

Barkerville - the ladies of the lake

Oh, what fun we had - us ladies of the lake.  Our Barkerville trip was beyond, we were a quite different group of folks.  How great was Barkerville to accomodate us with an electric scooter and a walker.  Some of us are not well in health.

We laughed and giggled so much.  We went on a tour of Barkerville 

Took our photo with these fine, fine gentlemen...and then...

Gold!

Yep, I got gold.
