Thank God for Hometowns

Carrie Underwood's new c.d. has a song on it called "Thank God for Hometowns."  That is exactly what I was thinking as I spent the weekend in my hometown while Steve hunted.
Here are a few of the lines:
Thank God for hometowns  And all the love that makes them go round  Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in  When you were dying to get out. Thank God for church pews  And all the faces that won't forget you.....

I always love going back to my hometown!

My hometown has, in my opinion, the best fajitas in the WORLD!!!!!  Sweet, carmelized vadalia onions and flavorful char-grilled chicken.  They are delicious!!!!!  The chips and salsa is SOOOOO good too.  I could drink it with a straw.  The place is called "What's Cookin?"



Going to feed the horse across the street with Granddaddy.

After church on Sunday.

Right before driving back to NWA.

My hometown has Icees at most every gas station!!!!!! 

I am thankful for a fun and very relaxing weeknd!  I even got a little Christmas shopping done!

Something Good to Eat

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

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
