DOGWOOD ACRES, 4/28/08, ELANE CRUM
Hello friends. White Bass, wild turkey and morel mushrooms have all sizzled in skillets in our kitchen this past week. I did cook healthy sometimes, with stir-fry chicken breast and baked fish, but that is just not the same. Same as what, you ask? Golden brown, flaky and tender meat coming from a skillet with a little oil melts in your mouth and leaves just the right amount of “stuff” to make flour gravy. We have had turkey for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it is good anytime.
Rick balanced his hunting and fishing activities so that we had something fresh and new everyday. Although he has four turkey tags, he can only use two, so there is one Gobbler down and one to go.
Danny Frazier sent us an email with pictures of his gobbler, before and after, calling his artwork, “Life and Death of the Wild Turkey”.
Rich Dinkela visited his Back Place Farm and got a nice turkey to take back home.
Bill Biggs and Harry Coleman went fishing a couple of mornings, bringing home fish AND a few fish stories. The biggest scoop of the day was after they got home and were cleaning the fish. Christie said Bill came flying into the house to get bandages as Harry was bleeding profusely. A fish fin, dead or alive, can be lethal, but Harry survived.
Deloris Wood called with the biggest hunting story of all. Actually what she really said is that she will NOT be hunting mushrooms anywhere close to our house. That decision was made after she and Mike saw a big black bear just up the road from us. She said it was really big, nothing like the little brown bears they thought we were seeing. I think she will also stay away from Glen and Pat Kenyon’s neighborhood as Glen saw a very big cat with a long tail slinking around nearby.
Emmett Biggs says to bring your rake and a jug of water for the annual spring-cleaning of Forsyth Swan Cemetery this coming Saturday, May 3rd. If you are not able to participate but wish to make a financial contribution, you can call Emmett at 546-7678.

The life of a REALTOR often revolves around boundary lines, corner markers and legal descriptions. Looking through some old records of a property near Y Hwy and Powersite Dam I found this description regarding the corner of a place I am selling. ….beginning at Burr Oak tree 36" in diameter on the left bank of White River…Surely Doug Faubion’s job would be much easier if he could just find that Burr Oak tree! This is only another reminder of simpler times and a life less complicated.
Bye for now.
