I Wonder as I Wander…

We spent Thanksgiving at Sandy and Al’s—and processed venison. Al and Sandy had gotten quite a few deer and we offered to help make sausage, jerky, and steaks—and that’s what we did (and did, and did). We ended up doing two batches (90 lbs each) of sausage; 30 lbs of jerky; and I don’t know how many steaks we ended up with. I know that now everyone has their freezers full of venison (and it’s been delicious)!

We spent Thanksgiving Day processing venison and then cleaned up a bit and ate our meal in the evening. Friday, we went to Minot to see LeAnn, Scott, and Kevin and their families (got to see Kevin’s new home—it’s beautiful.) And, then we did some more gift exchanging—and the stealing game again! Dylan was so funny when someone opened the same gift he had received just the week before. He said “I got that at Ross and Richard’s last week!”

On the way back to Bottineau, Sandy, Bob and I sang Christmas Carols and some other oldies—at the top of our lungs! It was great fun!

After a couple more days of processing venison—we loaded up three coolers full of venison—(poor mom didn’t have much room in the back seat)—and headed home!
