March!

 

This and That

 We celebrated our sweet girl's birthday on Saturday! Doesn't seem possible that she is grown with two teenagers and a tweenager! 

Also, our youngest 10 year old grandson (We have 2, they are 4 months apart) showed his Charolais heifer "Sweet Chic" at the San Antonio Livestock show this past weekend and placed 5th in the largest group. This was his first year to go to the big show there and we are very proud of him!

We celebrated Valentine's Day by staying home and cooking our own steaks (from our own homegrown beef). They were delicious!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

After Icepocalypse

 Well, we made it through the storm-stayed home and stayed cozy. We didn't have the bad ice that they had south of us and we are very thankful for that! No broken tree limbs or power outages here, though we had a skating rink on the back porch for a while. Yesterday was a beautiful spring-like day, but today is cool, dark and rainy. Can't complain about that, we need the moisture! Other than that, things are pretty quiet around here which is fine with me! 

Febrrrrruary!

We had enough sleet Monday to make it look like it had snowed. Yesterday it wasn't too bad, but the roads were terrible and many were closed. Our predicted ice storm has just started, so we are home for the long haul. As long as we don't lose power, I'm happy to "hunker down" and stay in. My husband finished the kitchen cabinets and downstairs bathroom cabinets and is now refinishing the laundry room cabinets! He's got it down to a fine art and is doing a beautiful job. I've got a pot of pinto beans on the stove and we'll have that for supper with smoked sausage and cornbread. Life is good!
