Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...
This morning Kelly and I took our girls on the new Crystal Bridges museum trail. We had so much fun walking and talking. I am sooooo out of shape and un-athletic. I was huffing and puffing the whole time. We went up some major hills that seemed to stretch for eternity. Sweet Kelly offered to push my girls in the double stroller up one of the stretches. I think Kelly could see I was about to collapse. I pushed baby Harper and it gave me a much lighter load. I let Kelly push my girls because she is so much more fit than I am. I am out of contacts, so I had to walk in my glasses. I was sweating so bad that my glasses were down on the tip of my nose. I know I looked like the wolf posed as granny in Little Red Riding Hood.
Kelly took these precious pictures of our girls. She could be a photographer! I am chomping at the bit to get these pictures in a frame for my house. These little girls make me so happy! You should have heard Kelly and I trying to get the girls to look at the camera. We were acting like goons.
What a wonderful morning!
