And after the wait................................... Here She is!!!!!!  Ice Cream tomorrow!

Getting ready for the Holidays. My favorite time of the year! Family, Friends and Food! And when the word food comes to mind, imbedded somewhere there is usually the taste of pecan pie. Please don't say "pee-can". That will give it away that you just weren't raised right!!!!!! For those that need to know the proper pronunciation is "buck-kon" pie!!! Try it, it will taste better if you say it just right. And oh! to watch that Blue Bell vanilla ice cream melt down from the top!!!! Yep, it is time for the Holidays!!!
Matter of fact, our resident chef, Katie, is in the process of  producing one as I type!!!! Here is a preview:

Now that the dough is left on the table, the work begins!!

Now, throw it in the fire for an hour and the finished product will follow soon!!!!!!!

Great Day in the Gardens

We had a wonderful afternoon with Liv shooting in the gardens downtown last week. Although it was one of the hottest and most humid days of the summer, we were able to get some really nice photographs. Liv was a trooper and she woke from her nap and warmed up quickly. Thanks to all who made this shoot a success!

Here are a few from that Wednesday afternoon. Enjoy!

Sunday Afternoons

Easy Sunday afternoons have always been a tradition around here. It was kind of a ritual to come home from Church, have a good lunch and hit the couch, or easy chair and snooze for a few hours. Maggie our almost 2 golden has taken up the family tradition.

And new to the family tradition, Mags as we call her has quite a restless but peaceful Sunday afternoon.  First the chair, then the couch

Mags must be dreaming!!

All in all today has been a good day, Go Bears, and Go Hogs!
