Lounge About and Beer

The time is flying by...I was looking through emails and noticed that we had an email from Carol. Lounge About already? Well, we are going to go and I hope that everone can go as well. Lots more fun when lots of people go!
Anyway I was wondering if you beer makers would want to start planning to make camp beer. I know these days I like to have the dark, rich beers but in the summer time lighter beer is easier to enjoy on a hot day.
Here is what I propose. Each of us make a beer of choice for camping to share (about a 12 pk). Then I would also like to get together some evening and make a brew with Scott, Pete and Matt and myself after work some time and make a camping brew. I know scott would love to do a brew with us. (we could even make some spent grain bread) Maybe that could be a light brew... fruity...hmmm...so many choices. I just had a apricot wheat beer that was wonderfull.
Maybe part of the lounge about we could brew a batch as well...I already bring the kettle and cooker...
Any takers?

Grandma Emma


Well, I think most of you had met my Great-Grandma Emma at least once. I just thought I'd pass on the news that she passed away last night. She had a massive stroke the end of last month and has been in the hospital and nursing home since that time. I guess last night she decided it was her time to go be with my Great-Grandpa again. She was 96 and she lived a very good life and I feel honored that I was able to spend so much of my life with her. Prayers would be greatly appreciated!

Nancy and I decided to get our cat Boo at climbing tree. We shopped on the internet...Prices started about $99 and up, so we decided to make our own. Cost was about $25 and about 3 hours of cutting and trimming. Cat tree anyone?
