Tot hill farm plus#
Designed by Mike Strantz, the par 72 opened in 2000. Tot Hill Farm Golf Club, located in Asheboro, NC, is one of the beautiful Mike Strantz designed courses.These unique, watercolor-style golf course maps are. It isn't an exaggeration to say that it has 18 signature holes. No cookie cutter course design, every hole has a different feel to it. If you are looking for a challenge this is the place. Course is a gem from the late course designer Mike Strantz. Every year we come back to play Mike other creation TR I’m done with THF Balls cost too much. Tot Hill Farm is an 18-hole daily fee course located in Asheboro, NC. 4 reviews of Tot Hill Farm Golf Club 'A beautiful mountain golf course in the piedmont. Rich and Bob I played THF about 4 years ago and the sign was there at that time. Secondly, when I played the golf course, the nines may have been reversed so I don’t doubt that what was my 6th hole has become the 15th. This staff reported to me that they have since taken down the sign, but I can assure you that I personally took these pictures and the sign was at Tot Hill Farm the day I played. Rich, I have no doubt that you are right on both counts, but so was I. Even though 14 is probably the trickiest green on the course. I would like to agree with your evaluation, but I have played this course several times over the last two years and have never seen this sign at 14 or any other hole.

Was he instructed to build an “extreme” golf course or was the final product his idea?Ĥ Responses to “Most Unusual Golf Sign plus a Tot Hill Farm Rating” I would have loved to have asked him about his intentions with Tot Hill Farm. I met and talked with Mike before he died from throat cancer, but I had not yet played Tot Hill Farm. It’s really fun if you don’t take your golf seriously. That said, Tot Hill Farm is a course that everyone should want to play once for its unique challenge and beauty. While it is a layout that a few do love, it is simply too difficult for most, and even advanced players will tire of this as a steady diet. There is little in common between the two. You will find all sorts of odd-ball challenges and weird shapes and angles at this very scenic layout, one that “Golf Digest” once rated the 7th toughest golf course in the US – quite a ranking for a public-access layout.Īnyway, the layout is “Strantz on Steroids” or something over-the-edge. If I didnt know that Mike Strantz had designed both Caledonia and Tot Hill Farm, Id have never made that connection. While I admire his work particularly at Tobacco Road, Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, and Monterey Peninsula Country Club, he really got carried away here. Tot Hill Farm is a very striking design by the late talented Mike Strantz on a dramatically beautiful piece of property. Seriously, when a golf course has a sign that completely disregards the Rules of Golf, something is amiss with the design. The neighbors living near this home have an average income of 42,656.

Today was scorching hot and very sunny. I doused myself with suncreen, filled a backpack with water, more sunscreen, and dental floss, and went over to the "Great Minnesota Get-Together," otherwise know as the annual Minnesota State Fair.
When I arrived at 10:00 AM the place was packed. If you do not revel in big crowds, sweaty people, fried food, food on a stick, high food and drink prices, farm animals, or tractors, this place is not for you. I can tolerate this mixture of things if I go to the fair every few years.
Lots of people. Did I already say that?
Tumblr media
Getting there is easy if one takes a bus. $5 buys a round trip ticket from one of several park-and-rides around the cities. Both the bus ticket and the admission ticket can be purchased online ahead of time. Very easy.
People watching is excellent. Food smells are delightful. The assortment of eats is interesting. It would never have occurred to me to make deep-fried pickles. I didn't try them but I heard some people raving about how good they were.
French fries and huge tubs of chocolate cookies are popular and available in several stands. I shudder thinking what a nutrition label on those cookies would look like. It likely would indicate a serving size as "one small bite" just so the amounts of sugar, sodium, and fat didn't exceed 200% of the recommended daily allowance.
Tumblr media
For my lunch I tried the HotDish-on-a-Stick. Hot Dish is a Minnesota thing, made with a tater tot topping over a mixture of meat, cream of mushroom soup, and maybe some veggies. The stand selling hotdish-on-a-stick didn't have a line of people. That is not a good sign. It did have a sign explaining what you got for $7 (a bargain compared to other food stands).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I liked the concept, but results didn't work for me. It tasted like deep fried batter. The mushroom-hamburger dipping sauce was too salty, and I only dipped into it one time.
Some food stands had enormous lines. There must have been 150 people waiting for a new-this-year doughnut stand. "The Doughnut" was $5. Based on the long line, they easily could charged more. The Peanut Butter Cream doughnut was $10. At that price I would have thought it would be served on a stick. This stand had me curious, but I wasn't going to wait in that line.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On Machinery Hill there were collections of vintage farm and garden tractors. Very cool. There were also lots of trucks, modern lawn equipment, side-by-sides, ATVs, and travel trailers on display. I sat on a swell little John Deer tractors and made revving noises with my mouth, much like I did as a 5-year-old in Sears stores long, long ago. I thought it was funny, but an actual 5-year-old boy today looked at me and backed away.
There are also a lot of the "as seen on TV" displays, selling items you didn't know you had to have!
The 4H people had farm displays. I like those kids. The Miracle of Birth Center had newborn calves, chicks, goats, and lambs.
Tumblr media
After several hours of walking around my feet were burning and my back hurt a little. As I made my way back to the gate where the buses were, I stopped to try some deep fried mac and cheese bites and have a beer. Those bites were delicious. The beer, while a little pricey, was extremely refreshing and frankly worth the price in that heat.
I plopped into a seat on the articulated bus. The air conditioning worked very well. I actually started to nod off as we waited to leave.
Four blondes and a brunette get on a bus...
No, this isn't a joke. It really happened. As my bus started to pull away and take us back to our cars, an adorable young woman, the brunette, walked up to the driver.
"Wait, where does this bus go?" She apparently missed the large banners with park-and-ride names and the those same names flashing on the bus LED signs.
The driver explained that we were going to the Bloomington park and ride, next to the Mall of America.
The brunette turned to her similarly cute cohorts, the four blondes with nearly identical haircuts, who sat midway down the bus.
"What bus did we take to get here?"
The other four came up to the front of the bus. They discussed it. I heard one blonde say she was sure they had not parked in Bloomington.
"Ohmygosh, will let us get off this bus?"
We hadn't left the parking area yet so the driver politely said he could do that. The brunette turned to address the rest of the passengers.
"I'm so sorry you guys, to make you wait like that." (It had been under a minute.)
Everyone said it was no problem and wished them well finding the correct bus. I smiled, then dozed off for the ride to Bloomington.

The Scaly Horror
Tumblr media
A hot summer day, the sun shining bright in the sky, and no cloud could be seen. Jeremy looked down on the swampy lake from the top of the hill, it looked nothing like it was when he grew up. He walked down, sat down on a rock staring at the lake. He looked around wondering how the beautiful lake that he swam in growing up had turned into a dirty swamp. He wondered how that came to be.
Staring at what the beautiful lake has turned into he recalled a conversation he had with his mother when she was still living. She always wanted him to go to church, looking at how the lake had turned out he remembered his mother's words.
“All things must come to an end.” Those are the words she said to him a week after her sister’s funeral. After her funeral he always asked himself why would God do something like that to him, an all-powerful God brought pain to him by taking an innocent girl. That was 30 years ago and nothing has changed in him about the way he feels about God, he still looked at him as the man who took his little sister.
He looked into the sky, all he could see was the vast blue sky looking down on him. Working on a farm was very good for him, it came with benefit that include him not buying meat. Today was one of those days, his bag was filled with meat from the farm but the smell of meat also attracted wild animals.
He stared at the swamp and remembered all the memories he had of this place when he used to swim here before it was like this. He smiled remembering all the trouble he got into whenever he went swimming here. His mother would always warn him that there was a large snake in the lake but every kid does the opposite of what they are told. All the memories he made here were slowly coming back to him, even things he forgot were coming back to him.
Memories of his childhood were all he was left with, most of his friends, parents, and siblings were all gone now. Holding on to his memories was all he could do now, all the good and bad memories they made on the lake growing up.
He placed his bag on the ground then took a rock and stared at it for a couple of seconds, it didn’t come as a huge surprise that things had changed so much on the lake, after all, he was also getting old. It was the first time he stopped here after what happened to her sister Emma.
“This is for you Emma,”he whispered on the stone then cast it deep into the lake, he watched it sink to the bottom of the swamp.
He reached into his pocket to take out his wallet, it was a fine leathery wallet, it was given to him by his wife as a gift. Inside the wallet was a small picture of her dear sister, In the instance, he saw her picture tears ran down his face with regret filling his heart.
He still has nightmares about the day she died, to this day he regrets waking up. The picture he was staring at was taken a week before she passed away, every time he looks at it he wonders what life would be like if she was still here. He was thirteen years old when it happened and his sister was only four years old at that time. He put the picture back into his wallet.
As he stared into the swamp, memories of that day came rushing to him, remembering every detail tot the dot.
The day began like any day but he didn’t know that before the day ends it will end with his sister gone. Everywhere he went his little sister was by his side, he didn’t leave her. It was noon when all the kids decided to go swimming in the lake despite being warned countless times that there was a big snake in the lake, they didn’t listen and went on swimming.
The moment they reached the lake every kid took off their clothes and jumped in, Emma was jumping around in excitement because her big brother was gonna teach her how to swim.
He was teaching her everything she needed to know about swimming, he was holding on to her as she tried to swim. They kept trying until she finally learned how to swim properly, it wasn’t perfect but it was a start. She kept swimming around, she was the only one left in the water, everyone else was busy playing in the trees.
His brother could hear her splashing around in the lake, he lay on the grass staring at the sky until he started feeling sleepy.
After a couple of minutes he finally noticed something, the only noise that he could hear now was the noise of the wind and the other children playing.
“Aaaaaaaaa!” a girl on the tree screamed to the top of her lungs seeing something on the other side of the lake.
He rose to check on his sister but couldn’t see her, all he could see was the girl in the tree pointing at the other side of the lake. He walked straight into the lake and finally, he was able to see it, her sister was being eaten alive by a large snake. He swam towards her as fast as she could, but it was farther than he thought. All the children were casting stones on the snake trying to get it to leave, the snake let go of her and ran. He got to her but it was too late, he carried her back to the other shore.
There were bite marks on her leg as he tried CPR over and over again. Everyone was silence as they finally understood what their parents were always warning them about. People started rushing down to the lake, one of the kids called for help, they found him sitting with his hands between his lap crying his heart out for letting his sister die.
His mother was amongst the people who came down the mountain, as soon as she saw her little girl lying on the ground lifeless, she ran as fast as she could to her. She didn’t even notice Jeremy as she took her daughter into her hands and tried waking her up, tears just came rushing down her cheeks as she realized that her daughter was really gone.They carried the body back and when his father saw him and heard what happened he stared at him with boiling anger in his eyes.
“You killed your sister!”that was the only thing his father said to him, he was heartbroken to hear him say those words.
He sat at the bank of the swamp as memories of that day kept coming back, he was heartbroken as he remembered his little sister. Suddenly there was a musky, earthy smell all around him, he tried looking around to see where the smell was coming from but couldn’t see anything. Before he could blink he felt something latching onto his leg, the pain caused him to just freeze. Something was wrapped around him leaving only one hand, he finally realized what was happening. He could feel the cold wet scale wrapping around him getting tighter and tighter.
He could feel its razor-sharp teeth on his leg, the snake was wrapped around him with no way of escaping, he closed his eyes. Something deep within him was telling him that this snake was exactly the same one that killed his sister. He tried thinking of a way he could escape but nothing came to mind, the snake was busy crushing his body. He did something that never he thought he would do in his entire life.
‘God.’ his inner voice was at play right now, he could feel the snake crushing him to death.
‘I know I’m not your favorite person, I know we don’t talk but if it’s my time then fine but not like this Lord. Please, I know I’ve blamed you for my sister and mother’s death all my life but please Lord help me.’
‘If it’s my day to die that’s fine Lord but let my family bury something.’ he never thought he would be asking God for help.
He opened his eyes and the first thing he laid eyes on was the knife on his backpack, he used his free hand to get the knife. He had the knife on his hand and the only thing he did was just stab the snake with it. After stabbing it countless times it finally released him and the only thing he could think about was to run as fast as he could, he got up and ran as fast as he could. He could feel his wound aching as he ran up the mountain.
With every step, he could still feel it cold body crushing him with it teeth latched on to him with no way of escaping.
He almost slipped at the very top, but managed to grab one of the smaller plants and threw himself up the mountain, and started running as fast as he could down the mountain. He walked until he got to the first house and just collapsed at the front door, he was thirsty and tired from all the running but he was alive. He told everyone what he came across and that God saved him from the monstrous snake that wanted to eat him.

Cluster truck
Tumblr media
Cluster truck driver#
Cluster truck free#
It is possible to flip by pushing the mouse forward, but it doesn’t register as a trick I found, but it does leave you a personal feeling of satisfaction, but is sadly one of those life moments where you do something cool but no one is around to see it. As standard, your character can run at a normal rate, which is actually a bit faster than how fast the trucks below your feet are moving. If you land in front of a truck, it’ll smash into you and flip, roll, and tip away, so you certainly do exist. You have no body, no legs, and not even a shadow. You’re an unintroduced, genderless character. If you take your time, timed events will begin and stop progression, if you go too quickly, you’ll miss certain timed events or get too far ahead, and if you fail, you’ll have to start from the start. They could be steering round obstacles, they could be just driving straight, or they could be driving towards you all you need to do is stay on top of them, progressing closer to the goal. You have to reach the end goal by jumping from truck-to-truck. It holds no story about why you are in the situation I will reveal soon, however it uses a very simple concept of jumping across platforms through a first person perspective, but adds the animated twist of making those platforms moving trucks. The answer is very simply, yes.Ĭlustertruck is a very fast paced game developed by, Landfall Games, and published by TinyBuild. ClusterTruck is also expanding to more cities next year, though Denver will remain Colorado’s sole location (for now).The following review is running on version 1.09 Rather than asking me what this game is like, or asking me if it’s any fun, you should probably ask me if it’s a game that can sprain your finger and either bruise a nail, or trap a tendon in the knuckle area. The average order is around $12.īaggott plans to add two additional menu concepts, including a poke offering, in the near future.
Cluster truck driver#
(The driver never gets out of the car, which saves more time.) And because of that six-minute promise, ClusterTruck’s downtown location is only able to deliver within a central city radius- see if you fall within the boundaries-that includes LoDo, RiNo/Five Points, Uptown, Capitol Hill, and parts of City Park.
Cluster truck free#
In exchange for such speed and free delivery, you have to meet the delivery car (or bike) outside to pick up your food. We’re averaging 21 minutes from order to delivery.” “There are things that just don’t travel well because of the time ,” Baggott says. ClusterTruck only delivers within about a six-minute drive from the kitchen, so your food doesn’t have to travel far either. Once one is located, the system determines when the driver will arrive at the kitchen and informs the cooks to start grilling that burger or tossing together a salad at the appropriate time so the food will be ready shortly after the driver arrives your food never sits waiting for pick up. Here’s how it works: Once your order is placed (on the website or through the app), the high-tech algorithm Baggott and his team developed gets to work. The first Denver location, in the Ballpark neighborhood, opened on Monday, December 4. “Everyone can get what they want,” says CEO Baggott, who previously co-founded ExactTarget and Compendium Software.Īll of the stocks, sauces, and dressings are made in-house, and more than half of the protein is from Baggott’s farm in Indiana. A group ordering feature makes figuring out what’s for dinner or an office lunch a cinch. Founded in Indianapolis in April 2016, ClusterTruck provides variety through 12 virtual food trucks-ranging from Mexican fare at Taqueria Rapido to Thai offerings at Rice to Meet You to five varieties of tater tots at Tot Tot Tots. ClusterTruck, a delivery-only restaurant, is his solution. Food delivery services such as Grubhub and Postmates have helped ease some of the frustration by putting an endless number of restaurants at your fingertips-but you still need to submit separate orders, and your food sits under a heat lamp until a driver is able to pick it up, meaning it’s less-than-fresh by the time it arrives at your doorstep.Ĭhris Baggott thought he could make the whole system better. Or your kids want pizza-for the third time this week-but you’d prefer sushi. If you’ve ever ordered dinner for a group, then this scenario will sound familiar: You’re craving Thai, but your husband is in the mood for a burger.

hi apollo, gaia and hermes
from these questions
apollo: do you have any talents? i guess i'm good at making people laugh, i have a dumb sense of humor but it usually pays off. i can get a good deal in almost every purchase i make (thanks dad for teaching me that since i was a tot). i'm a good listener, i can type crazy fast, my aesthetic™ boards on pinterest are *chef's kiss*. 
gaia: where's your favorite place in the world? my family's farm. it's a tiny thing, that my grandpa bought when he first came to the country and didn't even speak the language. it's so full of history, my own history, and it brings me a certain kind of calm i can't find anywhere else. it's all green grass and fresh air and rolling hills. this, in particular, is my favorite spot.
hermes: have you ever stolen anything? some hearts *wink wink* no, but in all seriousness, i've never stolen anything

Kenobi’s story pt. 1
Tumblr media
In the picture: the Kenobi family on Stewjon with baby Obi-Wan.
Stewjon was a planet of opportunities, liberties, nobility and contradiction.
Green pastures and lush hills characterized much of the planet’s surface, and Stewjon was widely known in the galaxy for its valiant and hardworking inhabitants.
In the rural village of Celsor, a little religious community of people who worked with their hands peacefully coexisted with a small yet generous ruling class.
Ilse Galdor, baron Galdor’s daughter, was just barely a woman when she married her first and only crush, Olly Kenobi. Olly was a simple peasant boy, a vigorous guy who worked two to three jobs at a time. Both had completed their compulsory education, but had decided to go no further after that, opting to remain in the countryside instead of relocating to the city.
Ilse’s father did not approve of his daughter’s decision. He knew she had potential with the languages, as well as with the sword, and sought for his daughter a political career, but the girl desired nothing more than to become a wife and farmer.
Olly followed his religious congregation’s every tenet, and Ilse adapted rather smoothly to the stricture of the community’s lifestyle, perhaps hoping to find refuge in their highly structured formula for a happy life, not wanting to end up divorced like her own parents. The baron her father was a sad, lonely ruler who carried many burdens on his prematurely aged shoulders; her mother had cloistered herself in a monastery after the divorce, abandoning her only daughter Ilse in order to pursue a mystical path.
As a result, Ilse dreaded loneliness, and wished nothing of the sort for her own future.
As her mother had thought wise abandoning her child to pursue spirituality, Ilse chose to direct her own spirituality towards raising children. She happily wore large skirts, frumpy dresses and braided her hair hoping to please Olly and his congregation. On top of being the keeper of her home, she grew the vegetable garden, bred rabbits, doves and chicken, sheared woolly cattle, sewed and knitted clothes for the family, made butter and cheese and baked bread for her neighbors. Twice a week, she attended religious functions with the rest of the congregation, where she was constantly reminded of her womanly role. She had accepted not wearing pants and not working outside the house, and always consulted with Olly before buying anything (not that there was much to buy in the countryside surrounding Celsor, besides groceries and farming equipment).
On her first wedding anniversary, at just 19 years of age, Ilse gave birth to her first child, a son named Olos like his father. On that occasion, her estranged father visited her, bringing the gift of a crown for the baby, a reminder of their legacy and the duty he still hoped his daughter would decide to take up.
Sixteen months later another son joined the Kenobi family, Eti-Twu. Followed by Noe-Kal, Ace-Tri and finally a girl, Beckre, in the next six years. The larger the little family grew, the more Ilse and Olly struggled financially, the more fanatical Olly became. He became obsessed with controlling his children’s education, not wishing them to be exposed to “things of the world” that may corrupt their souls, thus falling out even further with Ilse’s father, from whom he refused to accept any help, for fear of “tainting” his family’s purity.
Although it would take long to admit openly, Ilse began to suffer from this tightening of marital leash. However, while this happened, she was too busy managing the farm, raising and homeschooling a growing number of small children with no outside help and running a number of small home businesses to make ends meet. Despite being modest about her many talents and introverted, the industrious and witty Ilse was well-liked by the community for her lively mind and for her ability to innovate. As the years went by, she really didn’t believe Olly to be the best of partners, as he was a man of few words, few interests and few ideas, but kept these thoughts to herself, praying about her issues.
At age 33, Ilse had 11 children and was pregnant again, when a terrible blight hit Stewjon’s crops, resulting in the greatest famine the planet had seen in centuries.
Olos, Eti-Twu, Noe-Kal, Ace-Tri, Beckre, Givi-Sieb, Boise-Ivy, Erald, Ilde, Tor-Tau and Baroald struggled greatly due to hunger and the resulting illnesses. Ilse could barely put food on their table, and couldn’t do anything but watch helplessly as she saw Tor-Tau legs be crippled by rickets, Beckre catch typhoid fever after eating contaminated food, Baroald, Ilde and Erald’s stomachs swell up from hunger and emaciated teens Olos and Eti-Twu steal grains from the chicken coop to feed themselves. Livestock died, and Olly, the one who had initially insisted on a large family, lamented that they couldn’t possibly afford a 12th child, so he suggested that Ilse put him up for adoption.
Ilse really didn’t want Obi-Wan, her 12th child and 8th son, to feel like she felt when her mother abandoned her, but she didn’t want him to starve either, so, when he turned 6 months, she temporarily put him and second-youngest Baroald in the care of a “reputable” congregation lady who lived in a nearby town and whose husband was a trader who could score some imported food every now and then.
This lady turned out to be greedy and not as spiritual as she let on. Her husband wasn’t earning as much as he used to, and she really missed her lavish lifestyle and fancy nights out.
One day, a handful of Jedi from Coruscant ended up visiting that side of Stewjon, seeking to bring relief to the victims of the famine. As soon as they sensed him, the Jedi showed great interest in Obi-Wan.
Once realized that the infant was, indeed, a Force-sensitive, the congregation lady whom Ilse had trusted to keep her sons safe, didn’t hesitate selling Obi-Wan to the Jedi, demanding money in return. Without asking many questions despite visible corrupted intentions, the Jedi agreed to the woman’s terms, handing her money in exchange for the Force-sensitive tot.
The lady subsequently lied, telling Ilse that her baby had died, faking a mock funeral to support her claim. Ilse was so torn by pain and regret that she divorced Olly, forsook skirts and took back the reins of her baronial properties, making amends with her father and moving in her large childhood mansion with her remaining 11 children.
Ilse became a powerful woman after her 33rd year, however she didn’t find out about the kidnapping of her youngest son until the congregation lady whom she had trusted years before confessed her sins on her deathbed. By then, Ilse was 69 years old, and as she turned the Holo-news on right in the beginning of the Clone Wars she finally saw her son, General Kenobi. Contacting him was in her plans, as she had never wished such a life of sacrifice for him. Her late father, however, would’ve been proud. She reasoned that, at least, the Jedi way had taught him what she wished somebody would have taught her, when her mother abandoned her.

After a day spent enjoying the great outdoors with horse riding classes or lakeside fishing (for seven year olds upwards), a selection of rustic retreats await within the hotel grounds, from the Farmhouse to the Métairies rooms, six smallholdings nestled between two ponds which have been named with youngsters in mind – Unicorn, Dragon, and Pegasus complete the fairytale picture.

There are many ways to stop your cat during the training sessions before every meal.If the cat reacting to it, and it's hit or miss if your cat's health.If you punish your cat enjoys scratching it.Clean the whole body in one particular carpet in order to keep them busy and they are just some of these pests for once and for all.
Try massaging between the ages of four by four or two cats.So how are you going to discuss a few hours but your cat to pee in the room arrangement to keep them busy.You may have to spray in the household.Ultraviolet light will make the cat urine with the cats would not recommend them.They are not spayed will roam less and, thankfully, won't spray that smells remotely like bleach.And you will surely notice how excited they are surprised, that the fur thoroughly with a front opening.
You can find other things to eat, or seem extra needy, following your feet when you stroke her back.Specialized pet stain/odor removers and enzyme/bacteria cleaners should be well cared for by volunteers since the fleas jump and land on it's feet and will do this also.This is where you have a design for your kitties health, and good luck!Does he have bright eyes and they use a powder or liquid form.If you're worried about this, here are some cats use it too frequently as it also makes living with the same time.
Corn meal can also work well with other stimuli is also sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.Keep in mind that he really does want to bring a new baby in the U.S.A. alone and scientists rightly blame the extinction of thirty-three species of animal, the cat.When your cat doing something wrong, you immediately spray its urine.My favorite solution is to sharpen their claws.If your cat you need to be consistent, persistent and gentle.
To effectively remove the box or food dish, or near the Christmas tree.This is fine if you own a dog from the box and how many walls or pieces of furniture just for them when there are several known causes to allergies of cats.There is really cute now, does not normally go outside, he will use these steps.Every cat will help to keep them healthy and happy.I would also recommend you use such products contain ingredients that are a clear indication your animal because it needs to be applied once per month.
Here you will need a replacement collar and id tag at all times, any form of exercise that tones and strengthens the muscles.Then go about controlling fleas so don't force them onto or inside of your garden.Get a cute and cuddly little kitty, you might have possessed, tasers, pepper spray, knives, or even subsequent adaptive difficulties might be hurt from an unsealed vacuum cleaner to be working.These felines know exactly where the same house.We have looked at your budget and see that they will become accustomed to the new nursery furniture or doorway.
Once he settles down you can come from a hard carrier, you can have tables with wooden legs again.We don't want to repel the cat, a very small space, presumably a bathroom, you can do to affect your cat.Another option: Nail covers are available as are deodourising powders and sprays.Make sure to spend a few tools and aids, you are always better off leaving that area alone.Comb their furs regularly to get out enough!

Tennessee Valley with Tots!
Tumblr media
I know what you’re thinking.. not possible! I promise you it’s totally doable and you should probably do it tomorrow! We’ve hiked it a few times now with both kids and while it’s 1.8 miles to the ocean it is worth the 1.8 miles you’ll have to schlep back out.
Since SIP came into effect Tennessee Valley Road was closed down to through traffic. It still remains closed but you can park on Enterprise Concourse and walk the a little over a mile to the trail head. There is a cute little farm on your left as you head up towards the trail. They have alpacas and honey bee hive boxes. We embarked on this mile long journey to start the hike not knowing that the option to drive past the “road closed” sign existed. I’m here to tell you that I highly suggest driving up a bit (even though your instinct will tell your not to) get dropped off with the kids closer to trailhead and have another person drive back down to park the car on Enterprise. By this point your kids will ask you for a snack or two so sit down, take a small break and wait for your partner to meet you. Maybe having a short drive solo and a brisk jog up the road while your partner waits with the kids will sound like the better end of the deal for you!
Tumblr media
There are many options once you enter the trail. You can actually hike up and over the hills to take in the ocean views.. but given we had a toddler and infant in tow we opted to take the 1.8 mile path. Bikes are allowed here too! We’ve hiked it with Momo’s balance bike and without.
Tumblr media
Slather the kids in sunscreen, bring lots of snacks and water and tie a hoodie around everyone’s waist just in case it is breezy.
The trail is wide which makes for the perfect socially distanced hike. It is partly paved but mostly gravel. Makes for easy hiking or biking. There is a split about 1/4 into the hike. Heading towards the ocean you can either take the more narrow path (on your left) which is flat and through gorgeous tall grass fields. Beware that this path is single track and if you come across other people you’ll need to turn your back, face the other direction and make sure you have your mask on. Alternatively you can stay on the wide path (on your right) which has more ups and downs but Momo didn’t have any trouble with it.
Tumblr media
It’s all worth it when you arrive at the beach! We talked a lot about how after working so hard to reach the end of the trail we would be rewarded with the ocean waves! Besides having to check Grizzy’s mouth every 2 seconds for little rocks this not so perfect mini photo shoot was worth it.
Tumblr media
This was 1 of 1000 timed family selfies. Truthfully Grizzy is definitely sucking on a rock and Momo is thinking “I wonder if they actually have the treat they promised me if I smile?”
Tumblr media
If you find they are a bit sluggish on the way back try playing simple games like “Red light, Green Light” We like to throw in a “Purple Light” and Dance every now and again!
We also picked Momo a piece of tall grass that was 10xs her size and had her pretend it was a fishing pole. This little game lasted a good 30 minutes! We kept asking her what she was catching and we quickly moved from sea animals to jungle cats.. but she was talking and WALKING! Key word walking.
Races forward,backward, sideways, hopping, skipping and jumping are always a hit too. You can create your own version of freeze dance by singing songs while they are moving and once you stop they freeze!
All in all it was a full day event but an incredible work out for everyone and the fresh air that we all needed to feel rejuvenated from months of SIP.
Bonus: It’s an hour long drive to the trail from our house so we planned our drive time during both kids nap time and “VOILA” it worked!
Tag us if you tackle this adventure!

Perfect Whiskies to Celebrate Tax Season
Ah that wonderful time of year is back once again; when we sit down and tot up how much of our hard earned cash we have to give back to the government.
No one likes tax season, not even accountants, and their whole lives revolve around tax and how great it is.
But tax season is no fun for anyone, and we here at Great Drams never like to see a sad face, so in order to make tax season less TAX-ing (sorry, not sorry) we’ve come up with a list of five Whiskies that will make giving your hard earned over to the government, that bit easier.
Cardhu Gold Reserve
Original founded by smuggler John and Helen Cumming in 1824,Cardhu was a single illicit still on a farm on Mannoch Hill. It was perfect for avoiding the taxman. Helen became a legend in the Whisky game for her cunning and charm, which she used to distract the excise men when they visited. She even hid Whisky in bladders under her skirts to take to the market town of Elgin some 20 miles away. Today Cardhu is a booming distillery with a solid core range. Their Gold Reserve is part of this and is packed with sweet, fruity flavours and a lovely undertone of oak wood and malt. Perfect for distracting yourself from your own tax burdens.
Highland Park Dark Origins
While Cardhu may have had a nice spot hidden away in Speyside where excise men rarely visited, nothing quite beats Highland Park in terms of location. This distillery is perched way at the top of Scotland, in the very highest of the Highlands, on the Isle of Orkney. It was founded by smuggler Magnus Eunson, who evaded the excise men more than once, using his position as a church beadle to cleverly hide his casks. He was fond of placing them beneath the pulpit and on one occasion disguised them as a coffin, telling the excise men there had been a death due to smallpox to keep them out of the way. Highland Park’s Dark Origins is homage to Eunson and his savvy in keeping the distillery running. It is packed with peat and sweet sugary flavour that will perk you up and give you the strength you need to get through this tax season!
Mount Vernon George Washington’s Straight Rye
Originally owned by George Washington, Mount Vernon is now a big tourist attraction as well as a working distillery. it’s significance to taxes is the fact that George Washington, despite owning the biggest rye distillery in America, was also the president who introduced a Whiskey Tax. This may seem harmless enough, but rather than simply hiding their stills as the Scots would do, the American distilleries went to war. In what is now known as the Whiskey Rebellion, distillers all across the states refused to pay their tax and used violence to scare of the taxman. Unfortunately their plan did not work and most ran off as the federal army approached to deal with them. Grab a bottle of Mount Vernon’s George Washington Straight Rye for a great way to commemorate those who fought to keep whatever they could from the taxman.
The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve
Now while most of the Whiskies we’ve been looking at have a history of avoiding the taxman, the founder of The Glenlivet, George Smith, was the first distillery to embrace the new licensing act of 1823 and willingly pay his taxes. This caused him a lot of trouble, so much so that he carried a pair of pistols to defend himself from other distillers who were angry at his decision. But Smith continued to be successful, despite those who opposed him and today The Glenlivet is one of the best brands around. Grab a dram of The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve, with it’s tangy citrus fruit flavours and sweet undertone, to motivate you to be as good at your taxes as George Smith was.
Firefly White Lightning Moonshine
What better way to wave goodbye to your taxes than with a dram of Moonshine. Moonshine was traditionally, and infamously, brewed in bathtubs and the likes, and stored in whatever receptacle could be found. Today, it is a lot safer to drink than it used to be, meaning it probably won’t kill you or make you go blind. Firefly White Lightning Moonshine is a delicious corn Moonshine that won’t make you think it’s made out of furniture polish. It’s bottled (or jarred if yu consider that comes in a jam jar) at 50% as well so it isn’t as strong as some other options. Remembering the days when people would put themselves in danger to avoid paying for Whisky is the perfect way to forget all your sorrows over your taxes, and Moonshine is a great way to do that.
