Wheat Berries and Asparagus

April 13, 2010
Karen had mentioned she cooked some wheat berries so I bought some and was looking for something to cook with my first batch of asparagus so I cooked them for an hour, made a salad and threw the asparagus into wheat berries for a few minutes and it was very good.

Wild Turkeys in yard

A group of turkeys ( I don't know what a group of turkeys are called ) came through the yard and Zipper kept an eye on them.

Robert's band in Ireland

I know Karen has already posted a picture of Robert's band in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day but we took a picture of the screen and since I am trying to catch up with my missing blogs, I included it here.

Vent cover for #51 trailer

March 10, 2010
We wanted to clean and paint the kitchen vent cover from the trailer. Frank couldn't find his goggles so he used an old storm window to shield his eyes from the little sand blaster. Shield worked great but the sand blaster did not.

Changed to his Dremel

Cleaned it off. Didn't get an after picture but I painted it white and it looks new.
