My daughter woke up a little better than when she went to bed last night.  Wife told me she would call the doctor when they opened and get her an appointment when they opened.  I had their blessing to go on to the cookout without them.

The weather cooperated for the most part throughout the day.Although it did sprinkle at times it didn’t last long.  The park was to close all the roads inside the park at 9am and would not allow any vehicles to enter or exit the park unless it was an emergency.  Also at 9am was the start time for the Fairyland Festival for the younger kids.  Do driving through there either.  So I wanted to get there before they closed the roads and unload my truck and then move my truck to a designated parking area.

At about 11am we started cooking the chicken pot pie and two different types of apple cobbler.  One was my recipe and the other is a recipe that was found in one of my cookbooks.  Where we were located we were in direct view of everyone that came down our little road.  I can’t tell you how many times we were asked what’s for supper.  We was told that you could smell the aroma over into the next campground.

There were about fifteen people that I cooked for today.  One of my smaller groups. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and went back for seconds and even thirds.

By 2:30 there was an estimated 10,000 people enter the park to trick or treat.  I’ve never seen so many ghost and goblins in all my days.  I was really impressed with all the imagination on the outfits.  Although, I do have to question a couple of them on their legality.  Some of them showed way too much and left nothing for the imagination.

Around 6pm the rains came and was heavy and furious.  For the most part the rain stopped the trick or treating.  Once the rains settled in the festivities ended rather abruptly.

I did hear back from my wife about my daughters doctor’s visit.  There is a small chance the has Salmonella or other gastric issue.  We won’t know for another 48 hours.  Doctor’s told her to rest and not go anywhere this weekend.

The rain came in around 5pm or so and when it decided to rain, it poured.  I had not loaded anything in the truck and I along with all my cast iron got soaked doing so.  I guess I’ll be spending some time tomorrow making sure all my cast iron is dry before putting everything is.

All in all I had a wonderful day today.  Although my family was not able to join me I had fun cooking for the folks as well as watching all those ghosts and goblins.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Bike Riding, Cycling, Dutch Oven Cooking, Old Age

I was so excited about this 90 mile, two day bike ride yesterday. I spoke to my wife this morning about it and she said that I already had something planned.  She couldn’t tell me what but she thought I already had a commitment.  So today I spent some time going through all my calendars and I couldn’t find anything.  I knew the month of October has a lot of activities, especially with my kids being in the band and all but nothing I could find that had anything to do with me.

I was talking about the bike ride at work today and one of my coworkers asked me about the date.  I told him and he reminded me that I had promised him that I would do a Dutch Oven cookout, an annual event that I do every year for the past three years.  How on earth did I forget this?  Old age is slowly eating away at the gray cells.

There’s simply not enough time in the day when you have a lot planned.  On weekends I try to cook for dinner because 1. to give my wife a break and 2. to try new things and to break the regular routine of my wife’s cooking.  Today I went grocery shopping and spent over $50 on supplies for tonight’s meal and tomorrow’s breakfast.  We had grilled BBQ chicken breasts, fried potatoes and Dutch Oven Blackberry Cobbler for supper.  Tomorrow morning we’re having pancakes with sausage and biscuits.

What was also planned but didn’t have time was to go on a bike ride.  Just simply didn’t have the time.  Maybe tomorrow after breakfast I’ll go on a ride but I also want to go find that waterfall that I’ve heard so much about.  It’s about an hour drive from here.  We shall see.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Bike Ride, Cycling, Dutch Oven Cooking, Photography, Waterfall

I have a lot of plans whether or not I’ll get to them all remains to be seen.  I’d like to get a bike ride in, there’s a waterfall about an hours drive from here that I’d like to go photograph and I’m planning on doing some Dutch Oven cooking one day this weekend.  So I have a lot I’d like to do but it really depends on how active I want to get in this heat.

I sincerely hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.  Enjoy yourself and do something fun.
