Beyond the Schoolhouse Brunch Plus “Snickers” the pig

 Sunday night the 10th, I cleaned my camera for the shoot on Monday and my camera stopped working. It had fallen from my lap a couple of weeks ago. At the time the only part not working was the focus through the eye view. The lens was slightly damaged at the same time. It was about eight o'clock and I decided that I would drive up to my house first thing in the morning and get my D810.

Monday, I started my car and all the lights on the dash lit up, again. I knew I could drive the car though some things would not be functioning. After picking up my D810 I went to fill my car with gas, driving back to the house the car filled with gas fumes. I was not going to drive with it leaking fuel. Back to the shop, again.

I cleaned the D810, charged the batteries, then I took my sister's car, filled it with gas and met the people I would be following to the sanctuary for the shoot. It took about an hour to drive to the sanctuary.

"Snickers" the Cerrillos, escape artist pig, had been sent to, "In good Company" a domestic animal sanctuary, to live after his latest adventure. They are a non-profit organization and could use your donation to help with the care and feeding of all of their animals.   This is a link if you wish to donate. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=UJPVW7P84S7R8

Day Old Babies

Awoke to the babies and mom out on the side of the house. We watched them for awhile and then straightened a few things around the house. We then went to the farmer's market and looked around, we neglected to bring a cooler so we only bought a couple of pastries to eat. We will go back next week with a cooler.

We then played, tourist, and went for a walk through all of the shops on the Spit. I purchased an Ulu Knife and a few other items to take back. Lisa found some Christmas gifts for some of her friends. We stopped at the Sweet Shop and split some fresh donuts. I had been there last week and met the owner, who's husband had just purchased a gift for Lisa's toy store. Today, Lisa got to meet her, nice to get to know the other store owners. We had planned to eat at the Spit, but we were stuffed with donuts. We went to, Salmon Sisters, and bought a salmon filet for dinner, as well as a few other items to snack on.

Then on to the nursery to purchase a few plants for some hanging baskets.

We then came home to watch the moose in the yard.
