Visit to Texas

 

Hello there, well my pictures always seem to load in reverse order when I do a bunch at once. 

This is a hawk we spotted on our walk today, they seem to be all over as we live near a wooded area. One time the neighbor across from us had one on her roof and I'm pretty sure it was eyeballing Cricket when I took him out to potty!

We found this can of Hormel Chili Ghost Reaper, it says "World's Hottest Chili", we left it at the store. It was on clearance and I'm sure it had something to do with being the world's hottest chili.

So here we go with my visit to Texas to meet Rowan Sulema. Of course the princess has to be shown first because she is the oldest. 

Hailey got a smile from Rowan and she just loved it. Hailey and Luke brought so much food to put in their freezer.

Luke checking out the little angel, she knows how to stare and is very alert.

I got a little smile from her, lol, she thought I was silly with that big goofy grin!

So I'm looking for ideas to season food without garlic and onion. You all know garlic is the only seasoning  I use regularly. What are some good combinations for chicken? I have rosemary but what else can I use? Also, is sage good for anything besides stuffing? 

Charlotte suggested when you make your flight to England to check out Gatwick Airport, it is closer to them. I checked it out and it is south of London and the flights were reasonable compared to Heathrow. 

Love, 

Mom

Recent Events-Rowan - New Year

 

Hello All,

Another year is here! 

Dad has been taking over some of the cooking recently, below is some Chicago Dogs he made and Ribs in the crockpot. Both were great. Last night he made a pork loin roast with vegetables. David we looked for parsnips in the store but didn't find them.

David and Charlotte on an early morning walk, the temperatures there have been chilly, 30s and 40s. 

Rowan is a little over 2 weeks now. Her doctor check-up today was great and weighs a whopping 7 lb, 5 oz. The doctor gave them the go ahead to let her sleep as long as she can between night feedings now. Let's hope she agrees with that!

Holland had her 4 year old check-up today as well. The doctor gave her straight A's in learning development and feels she is a little ahead. Even princesses wear their safety helmet when riding their Minnie Mouse bike.

Cricket met his new vet and got his vaccines. Unfortunately, he's a tad overweight. Too many treats and table food. 

Just one more week and then I will be in Texas for a visit! 

Hailey has a website for her new online store, Crow and Baubles! Lots of candles and melts along with wonderfully smelling bubble bath bars, body butters, scrubs and squeeze wax. Check it out at crowandbaubles.com  I'm sure most of you thought I didn't know how to put a hyperlink into my blog but many years ago I took a class on web design! :) 

I don't really have any New Year's resolutions but here's a few things I'm going to try and do better at for 2025:

Fr. Mike's Bible in a Year podcast

Work on my Spanish, I stopped for a long while but seemed to have picked it back up quickly. I just use the free Duo Lingo app.

Blog at least twice a month but hopefully weekly

Visit more state parks within our area, lots of free stuff out there

Well, drop me a comment and let me know if you have anything your working on for 2025!

Love, Mom
