Fishing at Fingerlake

Cuzins playing in the front yard.

(Was viewing my posts and discovered I never posted this one.  Summer of 2010 we had family visit. Here is one of the adventures we had.)

After a tasty hotdog dinner, we went fishing at Fingerlake. Having learned from the Father's Day experience, I did not expect a whole lot from kids when it came to fishing. Sure enough, after we got the hooks baited and lines cast, DS and the boys were done.



There was mud all around that needed to be dug up and played in. Getting no hits on the hook, Bob decided to cast DD#2's line a bit more to the left. We did not know the shore was part quicksand (quickmud?) Here is a picture of the result.

No, my challenge is not falling asleep.  My challenge is staying asleep.  Diving into the deep end of the slumber pool.  I tend to wade at the shallow end. Even stepping out of the water several times a night.   I have had two sleep studies done.  Both had the same results.  Quick to fall asleep with waking approximate

Going GF & DF

Ahhhh...what does GF and DF mean?  Well, GF is short for Gluten Free and DF is Dairy Free. Well, Alaska Girl, what does that mean? "A  gluten-free diet  is a diet  that excludes foods containing gluten . Gluten is a protein complex found in wheat  (including kamut  and spelt ),barley, rye and triticale. Corn  and rice  also contain gluten, but are considered gluten-free, as the gluten in these species do not cause celiac disease .  A gluten-free diet is the only medically accepted treatment for celiac   disease,   the related condition dermatitis herpetiformis  and wheat allergy , but not gluten allergy ." (wikipedia) Wikipedia-the end all be all for info! Not really. So, here is info from celiac.com  " wheat, rye and barley, it is obvious that you will need to avoid these grains. Less obvious however, are the myriad of products that contain gluten as a hidden ingredient." So. Gluten-free basically means cutting specific grains out of the diet. Especially whea
