Ruby Trip - 2013

Day 8 - Tuesday - July 23

Not much for adventure today.  We did the things that needed to be done.  Roy did his load of laundry and we all took showers.  

Stinging Nettles on the property

My dad's friend, Ben, came over to help with building the house.  So, Roy, my dad, and Ben raised the last exterior wall.  My dad had promised Ben dinner, but since he could not do both the cooking and the construction, I got handed all the ingredients and cooked the meal.  We had fried cabbage with bacon, ham, potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and apple.  It was delicious.  For desert, and thanks to Jesse's craving for ice cream which we could not find in Ruby at the time, we bought a tub of Cool Whip and had frozen Cool Whip with the blue berries we picked.  Some of us threw walnuts in the mix as well.
