Trimming the trees!

Our Latest Adventures... We revisit the Life Science Museum with Kathy, Teresa and Danny.

More new butterflies.

And new animals

This is the red wolf.
How a tornado works at the museum.

Dan can talk to the animals..


This one gave him the "one eye".


Then we took Kathy to Duke Gardens.

It was raining a little but it was a great day.

We finally got Kathy over to her Wisteria gazebo at the Gardens.


We have been hiking alot and found this great place.

We think this is a good sitting spot. OR is it a snake in the ground?

As the masons were building a stone dam the Penn's had them build this picnic area above the stone dam. They came here often during the summer to have parties and picnics.

Here is the dam, a pump fed the irrigation system for the estate gardens.
Another view of the pond on the hiking trail this leads to the stone dam on the property.

We call this scary bark face dude.

Dan at a local pond during our hike.

This is the "Brunswick Stew" cooking area on the Chinqua Penn Estate. They had to bring a cooking pot in by railcar just to get it on the fire pit.

Well good times all around...

Danny is layed off temperrally. He's got resume's every where so we're hoping for work. I'm still working part time ... during the slow summer time here. Fall it will pick back up. Teresa is living with us full time and hunting for a job too. Kathy has taken the big step and purchased a new car this past weekend. She is very happy.

At the time of this writing we are the kennel to six cats and three dogs. One man and four women... Poor Danny! With all these animals we vacume alot. Beepa has been kidnapped by her sister and is traveling around the state of NY visiting family. Cuz Jo had a family picnic on Sunday. She, Beepa, gets home on Saturday.
