Jars of Honey - From first hive - Tom's Post

Fred, 

I hope its ok with Travelin’ Gal to send you a post about my first honey! I attached a photo that Dad took, he is so proud of me.  

I wanted to thank you for all you help - without you I’d wouldn’t have been as successful with my first hive. 

And yes, I remembered what you told me, that when the weather starts to cool down that it is very important not to take too much, being sure to leave enough honey for the bees to eat so that they survive the winter. 

Oh, I almost forgot, Miss Gray gave me an A on my term paper about raising bees - hope you are having a good time on your trip and say Hello to everyone.

Tom, Apprentice Beekeeper

Sounds of the Night - New Band - H & P - Hopp's Store

Hopp a man of many talents.

At sundown Hoop said, “Come with me P, I hear you play the drums; is that true?”  

I stammered, “Yes, but only for my self”, as I felt myself blush, how did he know that?

He pointed to a pile of junk, of a 5 gallon plastic bottle, a big white bucket, and assorted pots and pans on a back shelf.  

He handed me two well used drum sticks and said, “Well, grab some of those and come with me out back”; I did.

When I walked out the back door, there he was sitting on a woven mat, his legs crossed and 3 brass bowls in from of him. 

“What are those?” 

“They are sining bowls, sit quietly and listen and join it when you get the beat.”

Looking around, what the heck, no one around for miles and miles.....there we sat playing long into the night!
