Country Living Southern Style II

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! We sure did. We spent it at my Mother-In-Law's. My sister-in-law made corn and potato salad. My husband went to his Mom's early Christmas morning to bake the turkey for me. I had so much to make, I didn't have room for the turkey to bake. He did a great job with the turkey.

My daughter did the desserts for me, two cheesecakes, one with cherries and one plain because she doesn't like the cherries on top, and we were supposed to bake two pumpkin pies, but I didn't get around to those, so perhaps we will have those for New Years. Did I mention the boiled eggs meant to make the deviled eggs are still in the fridge...in their shells? I just got too tired to finish them. :-O After dinner, we played the game Boxers or Briefs. It was hysterical. Some of the family started meandering in here and there and we visited with them....

At the time, it seemed like a good idea, but looking back now I wonder what I was thinking when I came up with that idea! No offense, Mom! My husband played drums in a gospel group and they had a singing at a church in Talladega the next day, so we had to leave bright and early for that. Needless to say, it really wasn't much of a honeymoon. In 1999, I think it was, my husband had been working in Colorado for many months in the construction field. My children and I stayed behind in Alabama because I had a good job and we didn't want to uproot them from their schools and their friends. When my husband decided it was time to come home, I flew out to Colorado so I could help him drive back home. This was my first time being on an ...

I was sitting at my desk looking out my office window on Saturday, November 6, 2010 between 11:00-11:30 AM when I got a glimpse of these beautiful deer. The first one is a doe and her two fawns. This one is my most favorite. Aren't they beautiful?

Mr. Scarecrow I made him, but he still freaks me out, especially when I walk by him at night, lol.
