Shrinky Dink Magic

Monday, October 30th, 2006

I picked up a shrinky dink maker a while back and it sat upon the shelf for years.  Last night, we found it in its hiding spot.  So, we took it out and had some fun.

Baking in the Oven!

The finished product!

Book Reading with Paul Cuadros

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Sunday evening, we headed down to the Chatham Marketplace to listen to Paul Cuadros, a local writer, speak about his book,

A Home on the Field: How One Championship Team Inspires Hope for the Revival of Small Town America.

It was interesting to hear how he helped the Latinos in Siler City create a school soccer program and then go on to win the State Championship.

Time to build some trails

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

This weekend, I took advantage of the beautiful fall weather to build some additional bridle trails. I plan to build a trail around the perimeter of the property, then install a fence. This will allow us to patrol our borders to ensure that no one is poaching or cutting our timber.
