We took a walk through Mineola, Tx (just down the highway from Big Sandy) on Sunday! We ate at the East Texas Burger Co. (yummo!). We window shopped, because most of the stores were closed. We also paid the red caboose a visit! The best part was walking up to that caboose with my hubby and two kiddos. Last time we were there, Chris and I weren’t engaged yet. We wouldn’t have dreamed that the next time on that caboose, we’d have two little cabooses of our own! Yay GOD!
Here is an old-fashioned pic of Savannah and Mom. My how Savannah has grown!!
Caleb has taken up railroad engineering. He conducts himself very well! Gotta love a man in uniform!
Here is our family of “who dat’s?” We may be from Texas, but we love dem Saints!
And we will top this presentation off with a Savannah smile. Yes, this is her wholehearted effort at smiling. You’re beautiful little girl!
I took my first attempt at making yogurt today using Heavenly Homemaker’s method. It was so easy to get it all going, however I’ve yet to see if it will turn out okay. She said to let it sit for seven hours in the hot water. It’s been nine so far, and it looks like this:
It is very runny. It does smell like yogurt though! Could the problem be that I used a body temperature thermometer (sterilized of course) to check the temp of my milk? I only had a meat thermometer that starts at 135 degrees, and I needed it to read just below 100. My Perkins genes kicked in to find a creative solution to that problem.
Do any of you know how to make yogurt without having to buy a yogurt maker?
Over the last few months I’ve come across a couple of blogs that I absolutely LOVE! I’m encouraged with every post. These ladies have encouraged me to save money, live more simply, eat more healthfully, enjoy my home and children, and more. Anyway, I thought you all might enjoy them too…
We just returned from a great trip to San Antonio! Grandma Overby and Aunt Melba let us tag along with them for a long weekend. We can’t decide if we wore them out having great adventures or if they wore us out! We took a drive out to Fredricksburg. We took a tour of a beautiful ranch. We saw the Alamo. We walked and took a boat tour of the Riverwalk. We shopped El Mercado. We shopped JCPenney (woohoo). And, we ate great food! It was packed and fun!
Here are a very few pics and a video. I failed at taking pictures on this trip, but I did get Caleb’s horse ride. His delight drew a crowd!
It sometimes happens, even in the best of families, that a baby is born. This is not necessarily cause for alarm. The important thing is to keep your wits about you and borrow some money.
