Weekend(s) Recap

Elk Mountain at dusk


A few weekends ago, I’ve lost track now, Jason and I spent two days in Elk Mountain fishing and helping the family gather firewood. It was quite an adventure. As always, there is never a dull moment when the Hoffman-Sherwood clan gets together! Here are some pictures: Bill with Elk Mt. in background

Next day, Trey stream fishing.

Taking a break from cutting (from R to L) Trey, Grandma Nila Hoffman, Bill and Dee Sherwood, Jason & Grandpa Rich Hoffman

Loading the truck, Dee flexes her muscles with a log toss.We had a huge load of firewood to bring out of the forest. On the way back, pieces kept falling out of the truck. Tired of trying to re-stack them, Dee decided one very stubborn piece would ride up front with her.


This past weekend Jason and I attempted a garage sale. We spent all weekend going through duplicate items, cleaning and pricing. We were very organized and even put out muffins and juice. Needless to say, we got rained, and hailed, out! There were also 76 other garage sales listed in the paper that day. So despite Jason’s cool signs, which he got complements on, everyone had the same idea: wait till the weekend before college starts. Turns out, college kids don’t know there way around town, but they do know how to get to Walmart! We only saw four students the entire weekend. So, if you’re local, we’ve got a lot of great stuff left. Call or stop in any time. If you buy something, I’ll throw in a print.
