MOOSE! We win!

7-22-09 Dave, it's not Thursday yet! While you were blogging, we were hunting Sarah Palin. Johnny had a hot tip about where to find her house. Ron had a brand new moose call horn which he bellowed out the moving car window. The combination of Ron and moose calls did not score us a view of Sarah Palin but instead ....a MOOSE! Bette screamed, Lee followed suit and was in Bette's lap with her camera in a flash. Bette said, "Johnny back up, back up!" not knowing there was a car right behind us! Lee jumped out of the van and stealthily started to sneak up on the moose. You could hear Ron in the background saying things like, "Put a tree between you and the moose." or "That Lee is crazy." all the while blowing his moose call horn. When the moose decided to move into the taller grass, everyone got out of the car and walked into the grass to see her. She seemed unconcerned that we were tracking her every move. All of this happened at 10:00 at night which looks like 3:00 in the afternoon at home. When we got back to Meier Lake, Alex was practicing his driving with Dave McGuigan and almost everyone else was in bed. Now it is just past midnight. Elizabeth Brown has just arrived from Hawaii to spend some time with us. Bette whipped out her lasagna recipe and a bunch of us made the dinner for tomorrow night. It is finally "dark" here. Time for bed. Night.
