Thanks!
Mid May and it was us you saw road-trippin’ Chevy Chase style down to Baraboo, WI. Loaded up my folks Gerry and Sharon Salwey, and Tom, Hawken and I. Tom packed the van so well, Grandma didn’t have to be strapped to the roof top in this goofy movie.
If you are looking for a delightful place [...]
My eldest sibling Tim Salwey and my sis-in-law JoJo White, hosted a luncar structure trout habitat installation on the Yaeger Valley Creek. They sent out the call and the C-FC High Schoool FFA class signed up. Also friends, neighbors, the Waumaundee Rod and Gun Club and family showed up to lend a hand, chat or [...]
The WI trout fishing opener proved to be another hallowed holiday within the Salwey Family. The short version of the story will warm your heart more than a winter fire crackling in Santa’s fireplace.
Three elves picked up Uncle Kenny Salwey from his home and loaded up the rehabilitating Kenny in his blue sedan. Kenny was [...]
lDec. 25th, ‘09-The geese are honking their gratitude as I sling remnants of Christmas Dinner in their kennel pen. Slushy water is slopped with mashed orange peel and meatball grease. Fat particles float and swirl as Geezer buries his orange beak in the black calf bucket and puddles happily. The ducks flap and quack as [...]
Dec. 14, ‘09-I greet the day with zest and plug first the artificial Christmas tree in. A bell ornament dingles as I fumble with no lights on @ 5 AM. I stumble on Hawken’s police tow truck that he hooked up to the tree last night. He’s loaded the truck with assorted round decorative balls. [...]
Dec. 1, ‘09-Look up in the sky and do you see the full moon? Tom and Hawken are trapping in the moonlight along Muir Creek. They caught a mink last time Hawken was along. Just spectacular beams bouncing all blurred and murky by the dark clouds in the West. “Kinda looks like a ball!” Hawken tells Pops [...]
Thanksgiving ‘09- I review my gratitude list throughout the day. A space between thoughts to search for the gift of the PRESENT.
What a blessing to have family and friends. It is fascinating to be the oberver of happenings with a child like curiousity and playfulness that seeps into my writings. I tell my close family [...]
Fri. Nov. 13th ‘09-Hawken wanted to stir-so we mixed up crepes for tomorrow’s breakfast. His favorite part of making food is running the hand beater. It’s a chance to turn the crank. I learned to not add flour first or we’re both lightly coated with flour flurries. Bright orange egg yolks are found as the [...]
Nov. 10th, ‘09-Tom, Hawken and I are relishing the radiant day along Muir Creek. We just spotted a grass snake in the pasture. Hawken offers it more pretend icecream and asks it how it’s doing. It slithers off and we three un-load camp off the rickety Gator. There’s the large packbasket filled with a sharp shovel, [...]
