I just got lucky this year! :)<br /><br />Your choices here are to become a friend of Wildwood, or to start your own "Wildwood franchise" - an idea my cousin came up with, actually, after reading something I put on FaceBook. It's a long commute for her to attend a party in AK, so she asked if she could open a Wildwood franchise in her neck of the woods. I think it's a great idea.... a little more Wildwood in teh world would mean a little more warmth, generosity, humor and good-heartedness in hte world. We could all do with that.<br /><br />Welcome aboard, BTW! :)AKDDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533003137934379516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589783647802842771.post-33253143006642164972010-12-28T21:31:31.753-08:002010-12-28T21:31:31.753-08:00That sounds delicious.

I live in the 49th state too, but you obviously go to better parties than I do, since I have never wound up with bear meat at one of ours :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589783647802842771.post-5653620005192724982010-12-13T08:57:11.496-08:002010-12-13T08:57:11.496-08:00Snerk!

I got the privilege of doing the butchering, which was educational, to say the least. (Do you know that once the hide is removed, the musculo-skeletal bear's anatomy is remarkably similar to a human's?) It was especially exciting when the pastor's wife found the simmering skull in a stock pot on the retreat center stove!EvenSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032555334605790413noreply@blogger.com
