Hunting "blinds" on the front grass to Cabela's.

I dedicate this post to all my European friends...Greg S, Red, Asterisk, Cappy, Four Dinners and more.....this is a purely American moment....
220,000 square feet of out-fitting with about 6 million visitors a year.

Many of the stuffed animals were hunted and caught by the Cabela family.



This is not only a major cultural insight and experience...isn't it interesting how the name Cabela sounds like Kabbalah?

Stagg had the Bison Sandwich and my step mom and I had the Buffalo Burgers...with DOVE chocolate drink. Dee-lish!
I recommend clicking on this photo...it's really the money shot and difficult to see when it's this small a format. You'll really be able to see how huge this place is...there were huge trout swimming in the pond/aquarium around the moose...

These are decorative pillows in the image of fishing bobbins, bullets and shot-gun shell cases. It was very very difficult to resist buying some of these puppies. We did buy a couple of things I'll post them tomorrow.
Yep...I hope The Underground Baker checks this out...it's a hunting couple for the top of a wedding cake!

Enter The Realm

Thirteen things around the apartment. I may regret this...I'm sure I've got some dirty dishes in these shots...um this is week #46 I think for me and Thursday Thirteen. I've missed a couple I'm probably closer to 50 weeks actually. Wow, almost a year!
I love roses so I cut up dozens of Wedding magazines and glued all these bouquets into a collage, this is a part of that...I guess kind of like that lady in Fried Green Tomatoes now that I think about it.


My professional quality juggling balls. No, I'm absolutely terrible at juggling, but it's a surprisingly robust workout.
I told y'all I'd show you what we bought at Cabela's in Michigan.
My bulliten board, yes that is Trey and Matt dressed as women at the Oscars (nominated for "Blame Canada" song 1999)
Things in transit...the brown paper bag is our batteries for toxic waste drop off...all the rest are things we are mailing to family and blog friends...we let them pile up and then haul them off...
