When the kids come home, they can always count on being put to work:
Shipping out calves calls for a double batch of cookies:
4 trucks. 1 brand inspector. 1 buyer. = 6 bags of cookies. The rest will suffice for dessert for the crew, a mid-morning snack with a second cup of coffee, and a container to send back with our boy.
When the mornings are chilly, potted kitties grow well:
We played in the mud:
Nary a week passes that a leak doesn't need attention:
And were smitten with a kitten:
The boys chased a few birds when they made a mineral run (this is an old photo)
And shot some steel:
We spent one evening socializing with friends at the Safari Club Christmas Party
Made a year supply of jerky
And made another batch of Whiskey Praline Pecans:
The WNFR (Wrangler National Finals Rodeo) runs for 10 days and I'm working on binding a quilt while DH and I watch in the evenings. We can't keep our eyes open that late so we record it and watch it the next evening.
And somewhere in the mix, we're getting ready for Christmas:

You have been busy! I bet your homemade jerky is delicious!
OK, so 1-how many calves in ONE truck, 2-that's a LOT of kitties in one pot, maybe you need more pots, 3-I STILL need to try those pecans and 4-looks like much has been accomplished (but always more to be done, huh?). As always, you're getting lots done!!
Potted kitties are the best!! So sweet!! Looks like you were hopping most of the time, but time with family and getting ready for Christmas is such an enjoyable accomplishment. Your cookies look yummy. Are those the oatmeal cranberry ones your DH can't keep out of? (Is it still a rule to not end sentences with a preposition?). Looking forward to some sewing time today and hope you can get to the machine soon!!
The potted kitties are adorable!
Merry Christmas to you and Your Cowboy and all your family and critters!
Gosh, you've been busy! I love your little pot of kitties and especially your grey with the pink around its neck. The cookies look delicious.
