Happy New Year!!

 As I am writing this, I am sitting outside with hubby, enjoying the current weather. Come late Saturday early Sunday we will be in the 30's. It is in the 70's now. Texas has bi-polar weather.

Happy New Year! My prayer is that 2022 will be a much calmer year. May the Lord shine His face upon us in 2022 and may we be the light of Jesus that others need.
So, hubby, Tim and I just so happened to get covid. It wasn't a bad case, praise the Lord, but still had to change up Christmas and that was a bummer. Although, we had two Christmases, so that worked out well. Since Tim had covid (we probably gave it to him), we all met on Christmas Day at his place. After we were better, we met at his place with Tressa and Andrew. We had fun and played some games. Tim's gift to me was a "Baby Yoda" card game. We played that on Christmas Day and then last Wednesday we played a new game that Tim gave to Tressa and Andrew, as well as another game. Fun time was had by all. (I forgot to take pictures - ugh!)

Hubby logged all our miles, hours and average drive time and I here is our data: 12 states, 7519 RV miles, 174 hours RV drive time, average 9.4 mpg, 1 flat RV tire. Of course, you have seen the flat tire photo, but since I don't have many photos, thought I would share it again.


Saturday, we had Christmas with the Goode's. They have been family friends for 29 and a half years. It is a wonderful tradition and I look forward to it every year. We enjoy shrimp étouffée courtesy of Jim Goode. Poor guy he has to make it every year or we would all revolt.

Fun Fact: Around the 1950s, crawfish étouffée was introduced to restaurant goers in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana; however, the dish may have been invented as early as the late 1920s, according to some sources. (Mrs. Herbert who ran the Herbert Hotel created the recipe with her daughters, Yoli and Marie.) Originally, crawfish étouffée was a popular dish amongst Cajuns in the bayous and backwaters of Louisiana.
As I sit outside, I am amazed at the beauty God creates for us every day. He is so amazing! Just looking at His clouds brings beauty and balance into my life. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
