Goat Milk

We've been getting fresh goat milk from a family at church. It is wonderful and the kids love it! Especially Peter who helped me type and post this picture of himself!

Bad Blogger

"These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good." Psalm 104:27-28

I am not a good blogger. There! I said it! Is anyone really surprised? My family all know that I am bad with correspondance - it's usually my new years resolution each year. This of course means that the folks with birthdays and anniversaries in January-March hear more from me than people born or married in later months. I've thought about changing our christmas card caption from "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Valentines Day"

Yes, I am ashamed.

To make up for it how about some pictures of the moose we slaughtered???? I knew you'd be thrilled! ;) So the last month we've not been laying around avoiding blogging - we have actually been doing things! Like cutting up moose. At the end of September our good friend John sent his wife to our home at about 9pm. John had just shot a moose and wanted David to help him haul it into his truck. David, knowing nothing about slaughtering a moose was the perfect choice. The men decided to call our good friend and avid hunter Robert who asked if they had meat bags ready. "Meat bags?" John asked. David shrugged.

Robert was on his way.

Hours later John had moose hanging  to bleed and a week after that he brought us this whole leg complete with ankle fur and hoof. Thanks!

John, the very cool guy who shot the moose with his bow and arrow!

We cut and cut and cut. Finally the freezer boasted about 15 roasts and 10lbs of ground moose meat. It was a great experience for us all!

Nice ankles!

And then the grinding!

Spaghetti and moose-meatballs anyone?
