First and Last Jan.Post!=)

We are coming to the end of January and this the first post I've made
from the Wells' end of the world! Just a little behind the times over
here. It is still pretty cold over here, so sitting by the fire is one of my
favorite hobbies.=) The wind has been picking up a little more every
day so...spring is on its way. We never look forward to those horribly
windy days. I have to remember that God treasures the wind. It is very
hard to remember to be thankful for the wind.
Random thoughts for January! 

Dulces Y Galleta!!! mmmm.....

                                                Lovely bag of sugar...the main contents of
                                                most sugar cookies=)DUH!

                                             We got to babysit our two nephews, so Mom
                                              thought making cookies would be a fun
                                              project....It was!(Of course!) This is Felisha
                                              and Logan mixing up the dough. Logan said that
                                              since he was a really good cook, he would need
                                              to wear an apron.(not because he is messy or
                                              anything=)
                                      

                                                      Our innocent little Ryan"making
                                                      cookies. He rolled the dough into
                                                      little globs and then he would say
                                                      "This not big enough to make cookie.
                                                        Me eat it?" He is such a cutie!

                                                Dad said that these were the best sugar cookies
                                                we have ever made. Mom told him it was
                                                probably because they were made with little
                                                boy slobbers...

                                                      Resees ball in the process of dipping....

                                            Bon bons and Resees balls dipped in chocolate
                                            and almond bark.
                                            

                                              Mom made delicious pecan tasies. They are just
                                              the right size for pecan pie. Pecan pie is so rich
                                              that these tiny "pies" are perfect.

A Season to Blog About!!!

                                          
                                              I guess I cannot make excuses about why I have  
                                              not been keeping our blog updated...but I am 
                                              going to try anyway...I have been very busy!!
                                             So it is Christmas time---Yea! I love love this time
                                             of year to celebrate Jesus birth! The picture(above)
                                             is my cute little "gingerbread" nativity scene. I 
                                             made it last week at the home of dear friends of 
                                             ours. It was so much fun to make and I can't wait
                                             to eat it. "Jesus" is made of a tootsie roll and his
                                             head is a yellow M&M...yummy!


                                             The snow in the picture is white frosting, of course.
                                             My reasons for mentioning the obvious, was to 
                                             give me opportunity for announcing that we have 
                                             not had our Christmas snow. I do love the looks of 
                                             snow and the fact that it gives moisture to the grass,
                                             although I would like it more if it were warm...
                                             Anyway I do hope we get to have our 
                                             "White Christmas!" =)
                                             
                                            What are your Christmas plans??? Love to hear 
                                             from you! I would tell you our Christmas plans but
                                             they change everyday...JK...(almost!wink-wink=)
                                              

Canning some good old goat! :)

                                    

                                            Last weekend we had antelope hunters
                                            on our ranch. They are all very nice. We
                                            have had them every fall for 4 yrs. Every
                                            year they donate the meat to our family!
                                            We butchered yesterday and I canned
                                            some stew today.

                                                     Sanitizing my quart jars...

                                            I put my hot antelope stew in with a little garlic &
                                            salt.

                                           ....filled jar

                                           Just some of the quarts....made about 14 quarts.
                                           It was a busy day but lots of fun! :)

Wonderful to be back with my wonderful sister! :)

 

                                            
                                              I had a great time at Eagles' Wings this  
                                                             summer
                                              cooking, cleaning and spending time with new
                                              friends, but it is nice to be back with Lisha. :)
                                              We have weeded the garden, taken pictures,
                                              played music, baked and laughed together!
                                            
                                               Since camp, I have enrolled for college, taking
                                               classes for an associates degree in Graphic
                                                                       Design.
                                               So far I have made 100% on two exams! God is
                                               Amazing......Proverbs 2:6-
                                                The Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth
                                                    cometh knowledge and understanding.
                                          
                                             Great to be back and I will try to keep you all
                                                                        updated!
