Still in Tejas…

Don’t cry for me, I’ve been very busy.

I’m doing this via dial up, so you ain’t get no pictures!

Short list?

Been doing a lot of cooking with my dad, HE IS THE ANAL RETENTIVE CHEF! We made pies and froze some extras (how’s that for planning ahead, Moon?) and get this, we
a. pre cooked them for precisely 25 minutes
b. put fancy pie edge protectors on the crusts
c. cooled them
d. wrapped them in plastic
e. by “wrapping”, I mean each pie got the same measured amount of saran wrap. Pie was placed in the middle, plastic was folded over from the left first, then right….
f. labeled the plastic
g. wrapped them in foil
h. folded the foil with the precision of a master gem cutter - if you thought the plastic was excessive, bah!
i. labeled the foil
j. “labeling” means, exact name of item and exact date

Camp Granny’s been in full swing. My kids have been making scrap books, cupcakes, riding miniature horses… if they weren’t haven’t so much fun I’d be jealous. The fishing pond was still quite a mess, it belongs to a neighbor, an old, on oxygen and in his late 70’s neighbor. Can’t really fault the poor guy for still have trees all over it from Rita. Anyhoo, my Uncle Albert is visiting from Kentucky and he, my mother and me played with weapons of grass and tree destruction for hours yesterday.

But did we rest after that? Hell no, came in and made dinner for 15 people. Gumbo no less.
