Got a nice doe tonight. The new muzzleloader is now justified! She was only 60 yards. But it was a
perfect heart shot. Still looking for the big buck.

I just spoke with Shannon, Cousin Lisa's daughter. Aunt Mary has moved to Dubuque, Iowa for
medical reasons, possible cardiac surgery. Her address is Mary McDowell, ManorCare Health Services,
Room 159B, 901 West 3rd St, Dubuque, IA 52001. Shannon will have her grandma call me after Bingo!

I remember Matt Talt sold bulk milk tanks and one manufacturer would send him a big log of Wisconsin
cheese. We butchered off a hunk and I brought it home…one of my early jobs, along with painting the
horse trailer and taking care of six kids!

The kestrel preserve is nearby, had to rescue a baby tortoise…did not see kestrels…we leave for
Nan's one week from today! Darry I bet there will be cheese and venison on the menu! Is
Walhalla cheese special?

Good news Lew, you can buy another block of cheese for deer camp next year. I found the butcher
knife in Walhala this morning. Also found a bloody arrow with a deer hair on it. The tip was broken
off too. Seen deer yesterday and this morning. But no antlers.

Ok, here's Aunt Marge's secret recipe for bark candy, we found it in Bernice's recipe
box…great stuff! She bought her chocolate ONLY at Lovegrove's in Swartz Creek!

Good morning! Today is 12-13-14 and I am ready for Christmas! Frank squeezed fresh orange juice for
his breakfast, I ate the oranges whole…will save some for you! The Boy Scouts in Weirsdale pick them
in the grove behind the Presbyterian Church and sell them as their fundraiser. Our villas neighbor
Marie brought them to us. She is doing fairly well after her treatments, having oxygen brought tothe
house. Glad your sisters are doing better Rose.
