Feb 13, 2011 ... Megan Ann

Today is my nieces birthday. She is my sisters daughter, her oldest child.

She's a great mom to her precious baby girls.

Happy Birthday Megan....

Feb 12, 2011 ... Orange Muscat Port

Oh my...you should smell this port. It's still in the primary...still fermenting. About finished and will be ready to put into the secondary carboy. This will be a beautiful summer wine.

This is a photo of my husband adding yeast to the Merlot. It's such fun to watch him do his thang with this project. He reads about wine, blogs about wine, is on a forum about wine and tastes wine often. Before too long we'll have a nice wine cabinet displaying his hard work.

Marjo's Cream Cheese Biscuits

These tasty gems are a must have for breakfast, tea parties and ladies luncheons. They are made in a miniature muffin pan using a tiny cookie scoop to drop the dough. Crispy goodness bakes all around. I would love to add some shredded cheddar and serve them with Soup or Salad. Or serve with Strawberries and Cream for my granddaughter. She would love them.

Feb 7, 2011 ... Mother Lucilles Pound Cake

Mother Lucille was Jerry's grandmother. I've heard about her pound cake more than once. It was time to make it for the ranch. Turned out wonderfully....baked nicely....tastes very good. Definitely a repeat.

Feb 6, 2011 ... dessert

Blue Bell Vanilla Icecream, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, and a Mexican Cinnamon Cookie.

A very nice dessert for a Father/Daughter Event at the Ranch.

Feb 5, 2011 ... Fishing Flies

My Dad makes fishing flies. DH, the man my cowboy works for, killed an Aoudad Sheep last year on the Ranch. Jerry and I tanned the tail and sent it to my Dad so he could use the hair when making flies. We made a shadow box using some of the flies Dad made. It turned out very nice.

DH is gonna hang it in the lodge near the mounted Aoudad.

Feb 4, 2011 ...

The Brazos River up close...every now and then Jerry and I take Risky down to the river. He loves to run through it, scooping up a drink as he goes. This day the water was so clear I just had to take a picture.

Feb 3, 2011 ... Fan of the Week

What fun! I entered Avery and Nolan (my husbands grandchildren) in the Betty Crocker Fan of the Week contest on facebook. And they WON! Last summer when they visited us for a week, they helped cook. Wearing new aprons that I made for them, we had a good time.

Congrats Avery and Nolan!
