The boat was loaded on Creighton and coming to the mainland.


Lining the boat up with the dock.



Putting the ramp down to the dock.
Gentlemen, start your engines.

Up and over to the dock (notice that no one got wet).

And away we go!!! How cool is that??

Bunko Weekend on Creighton



The weather was perfect. My friends came over on Friday, spent the night and we had a wonderful time!!



My friend Lee decided to kiss hog on Creighton. She is still my friend even though kissing a hog is weird!!




Here are all of my Bunko friends that came and spent the night on Creighton. We had a Low Country Boil on Friday night and then after a biscuit breakfast we made a trip to the North End. We had to hurry back for the Georgia/Kentucky game. Guess who we wanted to win???





Of course, there had to be an adventure on the way to the North End the road was blocked-but we took care of that!!!




The road to adventure for the North End.We saw a raccoon trying to hide from us!! The gator hole at the end of the dungeon-it now has water!!

Here is one of the trees near the North End Pasture.


More trees near the North End.

The dragon tree. Check out the base of the tree on the left-we think it looks like a dragon.



We made new friends!!

October on Creighton

Here is the winter garden-Victor and June put it in for us.
Tree roots and shadows. I saw a raccoon making his way among them, but I turned on the camera and the noise frightened him away.

The gator hole between the house and hunt camp now has some water in it!!!


Frank and Victor were tying knots while June was sewing on the Windmill Quilt.







June sewing a Creighton Quilt

June entered the first quilt she made in the county fair!!
(The red, white, and blue quilt.)
She won an award but at the moment my memory fails me.
Frank advised her to describe them as "green" quilts as it did not take electricity to make them-well except for the ironing part!!!
Ironing the seams flat-this is the NOT GREEN part!!





Pinning the 3 layers together-the top, the batting, and the bottom-getting them lined up straight was a real trick!!!
