Catching Up

 Life has been BUSY lately and I haven't been on the blog since March. Here's a quick recap of what we've been up to:


In March we took a tour of the brewery in Shiner, TX, with some friends and it was so fun! They make Shiner Bock Beer here and they just started making their own spirits as well. 






April was spent doing a lot of gardening and we did a little bow fishing. The garden was expanded to 15,000 square feet...now you know where I've been this whole time LOL. 
 
I'm new the sport of bow fishing and there's clearly a learning curve, but I'm enjoying it! 
Picture of Conway looking rather dapper! 


May we spent time in Nebraska at a horse show. We were there about 10 days and the water heater in our living quarters horse trailer was broken the entire time. Cold showers it was and I've never been more thankful to have hot water on a regular basis. 



Me waiting on happy hour outside the horse trailer. 

Now that it's June, we've done some more bow fishing, a lot of vegetable picking and dealing with a heat wave! 






Salsa in jars I canned last night. Some look darker because I had a few purple tinted mason jars. 


Headed out to find a bow fishing site! Found a gator out in the bay! 



So, until next time, have a great week!

Friday Favorites - September 12

Happy Friday Friends! It has been awhile since I've updated, but I have a few things to share.  #1 Fishing in Canada      We had a whirlwind adventure to Minnesota then to Canada! We were invited by friends living in Minnesota to join their fishing trip to Savant Lake in Ontario. We flew into MSP, spent a few days hanging out at our friend's ranch in Buffalo, MN, then we caravanned up to Savant Lake. We stayed at Cliff & Roma's Wilderness Camp. Most people go in via float plane, but we had 12 peoples so we opted to take the trail in. It's about 5 miles to get back to the camp and lake. We had two four wheelers, a CanAm and a trailer. It took about 90 minutes to get all the way back to the camp, but once we got there it was a view! The cabins are all set right on the shores of Savant Lake and the camp is ran by the best people. We fished for walleye and pike and ate our fill! We even brought some HEB tortillas to make fish tacos. Warmed those right up on the wood ...

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I have some shopping plans and we're hosting some of my husband's college friends for the weekend. We have some yummy drinks and foods planned for the weekend.  #1 Birthdays & Spa Days We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday! We had a party for her to celebrate on Sunday then Monday we went to the Lake Austin Spa. Voted by Conde Nast as the #1 spa destination in the US. It didn't disappoint! We had massages and facials and spent time lounging by the pool.  #2 Desserts Some of y'all know I have a more professional blog. I added a new recipe over there for The Best Vanilla Whoopie Pies with Buttercream Filling ! So yummy! We've been eating on these throughout the week, but they are HUGE so we generally split one.  #3 A New Minimalist Purse I've been having such should pain and finally gave in that it was in fact my heavy, very large purse I'd been carrying. I ordered this cross body with...

  Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I don't have a lot on the schedule, but I have some plans on my to do list. Looking forward to some walks outside in the sunshine, tackling a few projects and relaxing.  #1 Baking My friend Stephanie and I baked kolaches. She's a pro at it and helped me; we split these up for the July 4th weekend. Red (raspberry), White (cream cheese) and Blue (poppy seed). They were all so good and disappeared quickly this week. These were so easy! Just Rhodes dinner roll dough and Solo pastry filling. We did make the topping and cream cheese filling from scratch .  #2 Health Getting back on the health and wellness track. I had a skin check at the dermatologist which I haven't done in 10+ years. I went to a new clinic and it was a little bit of a drive (about 90 miles), but I really liked the staff. All good news! Yay!  I also did my Caroline Girvan Iron program workouts twice this week, cold plunged twice and used the s...
