Wednesday

b'days ~

Today is Dear Hubby's birthday! the big FIVE THREE!!!  I always get a kick out of his birthday; because he always gives me this 'respect your elders' speech ~ he's got 32 days on me.  I always tell him to slack off on his elder speech ~ because he was still shittin' yellow when I came along.  I'm bad ... I know ...

Here's a pic of the birthday boy, Slim,  last year at the fisheree.  He just bid $65.00 on a blueberry pie and won it ~ not knowing who baked it.  He was surprised when he opened the box and saw that it was one that I baked. lol


It's also our dear friend's birthday ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY PORKY!!!

Here's a pic of Porky with a chewed beaver log that he picked up while out trapping with Slim ~
Porky and Slim ...
Quite the nicknames. AND quite the characters!  Especially when they're together!!

Porky (Jordan) and his wife Rozanne are the owners of Donner's Bay Resort on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage (the place Slim's grandparents built).

Tomorrow night ~ we're getting together with them to go to The Pines restaurant in Mercer for some authentic German food and to celebrate the guys birthdays.  Yum... Slim and I usually have the pork or veal weiner schnitzel with red cabbage.  They have such good food ... and delicious roast duck, smoked pork hocks and beef roladen.  I can just never make up my mind what to eat there.  It's all good!

Tonight the kids are coming over for supper and to celebrate their Dad's birthday with him.  I'm making a pork and sauerkraut and potato casserole ... and possibly a german chocolate cake. We're getting our fill of German food this week.

Happy Birthday guys!! Love ya!!

Until next time...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

  1. Pork and saukerkraut ... Mom used to make that and serve it over riced potatoes. Not many people make that anymore so I'm surprised to hear you do something like it. I asked my Mom what dish Grandma used to make that she liked and she said, saurkraut and speck(sp) (pig's feet).

  7. Oh Happy Day, Happy Day to the guys. I thought of it a couple times today but that quickly, I forgot to call...look out Slim and Porky, for the memory loss is creeping up on you fast. By time you get to be my age, I will be back to yours...oh happy day. It's called a second childhood.
    Slim getting your pie last year was the funniest.

  10. Happy Birthday to Slim and Porky... Sounds like you have a great couple of days planned to celebrate the big 53. (Wait til you turn 68---and then you can REALLY celebrate!!!) By they way, George is about 5 months older than me... I tease him ALOT during those 5 months --of being the OLD MAN.... haha

    Enjoy your German food... Sounds wonderful.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  13. Ok - ok so I deleted a message. I accidently changed one letter which totally changed the meaning: OUT heiritage to OUR heiritage ... you'll see what I mean.

    Happy Belated Birthday Boys!!! Yummy - gotta love that German food with our heiritage. Give my brother-in-law a big ole' bear hug for me. 'hugs all around from afar'
