Several emailed me with variations on the question “Did he go higher ?”/”Did you have to get him down?”

No.

BUT.

I have retrieved (rescued! ) him from some smaller trees…before the snow and cold.

By ladder..

He has since learned… I think/hope – how to come down and to not go further up than he is ok with coming down.

We’ll see.

My ladder goes to about 20 feet.

After that it will be calling the FD or renting a “cherry picker”. Auggie and I have discussed this. I hope he listened.

Onward.

So… that thing at the end of the pointy arrow???

An External Battery Charger: 10000mAh Pocket Friendly Portable Dual USB Port External Battery Charger/Power Pack

By luck and by Amazon’s lightning deal thing, I got one and I love it and I think everyone should have one. It is a wonderful EMERGENCY charger…you know, like if you were stuck in a blizzard, or an ice storm or something like that.

Look it up.

It is a good thing!

Fruit cake.

Do those words strike fear in your heart???

Hee.

I loved fruitcake as a child. I remember being allowed to have a slice a day with a cup of tea.

AND…I liked it!

I can’t remember if it was last Christmas-time or the year before, but I tried making a fruit cake.

The candied fruit was awful.

I threw it all away.

So.

Try this recipe: Homesick Texan’s Pecan Date Fruitcake

Wonderful.

A great fruit and nut cake.

Go higher!
