BFS Bread

Finally a solution to the breakfast bread situation around here.

For some time now our boys have been hooked on pumpkin bread and yogurt for breakfast. Ever since this, the infamous pumpkin shortage, I have been searching for a substitute.

About 2 months ago my wonderful wife thought up this variation of our pumpkin bread recipe and it has worked thus far.

GAP-C&O Bike Trip 2010

We are now back from our 320 mile bike adventure vacation. All 4 kiddos and 1 dog still present and accounted for. Always nice to return home from a vacation (at least one of ours).

This trip was really amazing on many accounts but, especially amazing are all the people you meet along the way. Our kids are pretty young yet to marvel at the scenery or the actual canal history. But its fun for them and us to talk with others, camp with others and, in some cases receive some helpful assistance from other individuals out doing similar activities..

This is Bob he helped us around the detour section of the C&O.

I'm thankful for the many people who helped us along the way and, the ones who made this trip a reality. Thanks Mom and Dad Kirsch without your generosity in driving the pick-up rig I don't know how we would have done this.

trip write up coming soon..

tempting

I'm _VERY_ tempted to open this box..

There are only a few people who know what this box contains. If you look close enough you can make out what it is, but even that is not revealing - even on google.

The reason this box has shown up once again around here is that some of our house guests needed to relocate for a while. Relocating these house guests was necessary to set into motion some of the longer term ideas we have for the sub-surface area we have here (basement plans).

For now I'll let the Jura stay put..
