Geoff, pictured here with Donna, was carving a kind of meat thermometer to put in the fire pit and measure when the meat was cooked. He explained where the technique came from as he sliced off bark at intervals, and how it worked, AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF US BOUGHT IT. As one of the cousins later said, since when did wood conduct heat? But Geoff was really convincing...

A goat at West Edmonton Mall
What Geoff did to you guys is just HILARIOUS!!! hahahahaha What a great sense of humour. Be thankful he didn't send you into the woods on a "snipe hunt". Your family sounds like a great & fun bunch of folks.
ReplyDeleteLoved the goat at W. Edmonton Mall; I told you it was a big place. Never been, but I watched a documentary on it.
Right b/f you left I was watching some TV show or documentary or something, and they briefly showed downtown Athabasca! How beautiful!
Beautiful pics, Val. But, I have to ask, why is there a goat in the mall??
ReplyDeleteLisa, I think they have a petting zoo, and I imagine the goat came from there. It was a perfectly confident little creature, untethered but with a keeper.
