We finally reached the fishing hole .Of course it was all grown in and no where to sit .We got busy getting the weeds and the tree limbs out of the way .The kids and pap got their fishing sticks ready .Pap wanted them to see how they fished when they were kids .He tied string on the end of their makeshift poles and added a hook and of course bait. It was a very joyfull morning and also so funny. We watched the enjoyment that pap got just showing the kids what to do .
The draggon flys and the birds were going about their busness getting their breakfast. They reminded me of the solar draggon fly lights that I have with our solar pond lights . (continued)
Pap was the first one to get up the next morning and then we all heard.”Rise and shin everyone . Lets get some breakfast and head out to the old fishing hole for our supper.” Believe it or not it was not the children that were grumping about the fishing trip..But we all went to the fishing hole.
On the way to the fishing hole we past a little mound of dirt with a make shift cross on it and it said JAKE. Pap said that was great grandpaps dog .A very beautiful yellow lab. Jake was grand paps fishing buddy and pasted away when he was 16 .I have just the thing for this grave site . A solar dog statue.
Jake would always carry the lantern when they went night fishing.
We had a fire going outside in the old fire pit and cooked hot dogs with sicks that the kids gathered up . Boy did that bring back memories. We sat around the fire on old stumps ,which we found laying around the woods and used them as chairs. Pap told stories about him and his brother how they would go into the woods and build a hut out of sticks and mud.
By the time the stories were over and hot dogs were eaten, there were a lot of little guys very tired .We walked back to the cabin using our solar lights.Once we reached the cabin we hung the solar garden lanter up to the rafters so the children would not be scared to go to sleep.(continue)
We also took the little solar table lights and placed them all over the cabin. On the fireplace and tables. What a very nice soft glow we had.
Dad sat down with the kids and told them stories of living in the cabin when he was small. He had alot of stories since he is 93 years old this month. (continue)
Fathers Day is over but our trip to great gandpa’s cabin was great .We wanted to show the children ,my grand children, how their great,great grandparents lived. We packed sleeping bags ,cots and old fashion mattress covers filled with straw , food , drinks and a jug of water. Packed up the trucks and took off. Knowing there would not be any electric there I packed all my solar lights and we left.
Once at the Cabin the children were vey upset. No TV, no Phones, No cell reception “OH MY” But as the day went on they started to enjoy the area and mother nature. The creek was their highlight .We placed the solar plastic lights up and down the sidewalk. (continue)
Having friends and family over to your home for a party is fun, but getting lost is no fun at all! It’s always a good idea to distinctively mark your house and let your guests know ahead of time what to look for when they are trying to find your house. A bunch of balloons, a brightly colored sign or an unusually painted front door can all be effective signals means of announcing, “Here’s the party!” No one wants to knock on the wrong door and be embarrassed when a confused neighbor answers the door.
Once your guests do find your house, make sure they find their way to the front door with solar sidewalk lights. This will help them from tripping over shrubbery, trampling your landscaping and wearing paths into your grass. If they can easily stay on the path to your house, it will also help them from getting dirt or mud on their shoes and tracking it into your home. Your guests will thank you for your thoughtfulness and the party can go on!
