Did I Mention My Travel Trailer?

Last January Woody and I bought a travel trailer. A Wildwood X-lite, 16 foot, and wonderful. It tows really easily and is perfect for me and the dogs. The problem comes when someone comes with me. Woody thinks it's too small to stay in any longer than a few days. He tends to get pissy if he has to drive long distances. I can't be happier. This camper has made it possible to go off with my mother this past summer to a few pretty nice spots on Lake Lanier. Woody and I also went to West Point lake outside of LaGrange Ga. for a fabulous weekend trip. My last journey was to Lake Martin in Al. I spent three days with my dad at Wind Creek State Park. All in all, I love staying at a campground and spending time outside with my family and dogs.

My New Hobby - Mushroom picking.

I have always loved eating mushrooms. The aroma, texture and visual experience of eating a wild mushroom is wonderful. I remember, many years ago in Norway, I was visiting my Uncle Anton and we were staying up in the mountains. As a family we went mushroom picking for Chanterelles. They were small and tasty. I remember my grandmother cleaning and cooking them. It has always been my desire to relive this experience so after my recent trip to Vogel State Park, I decided to make it happen.

Chanterelle Mushrooms, N. Georgia

I took the plunge and fried up these delectable delights. I added a cream sauce and venison steaks for a really tasty dish.

I have been bitten by the mushroom bug! Next step, I joined the Mushroom Club of Georgia.
