New years eve in the country is not quiet. We had fireworks like the fourth of July last night. Gorgeous displays set off by our neighbors across the lake. We loved them but our dog did not!!
Spent most of yesterday on line shopping for a pair of purple peep toe platform slingbacks. My husband wanted to know why I need these, you going to hike with the dog in those?? Men don't understand what shoes mean to women. Just because I live in the country doesn't mean I can't wear high heels when I go to town.
I wish I had started this blog when I first retired, but we did not have internet when we first started building. I started keeping a journal and will post some of those throughout this blog.
This blog might be boring to some as I am just an ordinary christian american girl. I will be writing about life, both my old city life and the new country life, cooking (I love to cook and baking is a passion), sewing, fishing and my goofy family (love you guys but we are goofy). I love Frank Sinatra, the rat pack, old Humphery Bogart movies (African Queen is the best), Michael Buble, ZZ Top and Texas!!!
Today is football Sunday and we must tread quietly! Hubby starts with the pre-game shows and goes all day. He still follows the Titans (who used to be the Houston Oilers) and the Texans even though we are now in Cowboy country. If you are in the family room - no talking during game.
I plan on trying out a biscotti recipe with cinnamon and hazelnuts. Probably make a Derby Pie for dessert (like a big chocolate chip cookie in a graham cracker crust). Got a new food processor for Christmas and want to try it out. I also got a pasta crank and will begin making fresh pasta - can't wait to try out a ravioli recipe I think will be good. If the biscotti and ravioli turn out okay, I will post recipes on my blog.
Well, time to start cooking. Bon appetit!
