The Ranch

Dear Cherry Springs Ranch, You were the best end to a rollercoaster trip back to Texas this worn out gal could've asked for. Fresh killed turkey, OldManHB's first sniff of the freshly dead, the ranchkeep's pet pig (razorback genetics included), haunted bunkhouse, my new favorite lab in the whole world Tikka, and our best friend Travie.  Oh, and did I mention no cell service and no internet?!  I think that part might have been the absolute best!  I only hope that we get to make it back to visit you more often.

Tinsel Time in Texas

We made it home-home to Tejas this year for the holidays.  Well, for the week before the holidays.  It was about seven days of family time and it was jam-packed-to-the-max.  We spent, oh, about 24 hours with each family.  There was wrestling and make-your-own-pizza, there was Bass Pro range time and Cafe Medi, there was a trip to the hair salon to somehow facilitate growing this pixie out more fashionably, a million goofy faces, there was Sushi Domo to celebrate living through the Mayan apocalypse, and a good ol' Joe's home-cooked breakfast with the grandparents before hitting the road to end out trip home in the Texas hill country.  But those last two days were so awesome, they deserve their own post (coming soon!).  And we did it all in enough time to be back at our humble abode in NC to spend Christmas morning just the three of us, and Christmas evening at the movies, just like has become our tradition for the past five years.  What more could you wish for out of the holidays?  Oh yea...we still get a few more days of peace and quiet, just the three of us.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas!

Dear friends & family, Wishing that each and everyone of you was blessed this Christmas day, and will continue to feel the merry season far into the New Year!

P.S.  The laptop I busted has been replaced and I'm back in the digital world.  More posts to come soon!

New Roomy!

Hey everyone, this is Munkee! I know I know, you don't hardly ever hear from me on the blog, but I'm pretty bored today and felt like I could jot down a few words for the world to read.  So late last night, our other room mate finally arrived at the house(she originally was supposed to be here in April).  The first night wasn't to bad, outside of dinner around 8 o'clock.  We put a new twist on our chicken pasta that we make fairly regularly but frying the chicken, and it was delicious!  We watched the Disney movie Brave and it was really good.  Today I woke up fairly early and took old man HB to petsmart to get his nails clipped, and since then its been a lonely day of lounging in bed with HB with golf on the TV in the background.  It's been a pretty good day, but much lonelier than our normal weekends running around with Ogie.  T'is our new life, guess we should learn to enjoy it.  This is Munkee signing off!
