While we were out and about, one of our stops was at the post office where I picked up this wonderful package from SunflowerSmiles on craftster. I'm participating in the Christmas Ornament Swap and she was one of my three partners. What she sent me is AWESOME! I got this wonderful snowman ornament that she MADE. Can you believe that? Look at the detail shot...it is flawless!
She also sent me a tiny wooden nativity ornament set. It is so adorable! I'm thinking about making a scene to attach it to permanently so that I won't ever lose any of the pieces. This little set is just too cute!
For dinner I made a pot of pinto beans. That, of course, meant frying up some salt pork in the cast iron skillet. Now, I'm no debutante, but that's how beans are made in the South!! Of course, I don't think that most Southern belles fry up the pork in the morning and cook the beans in the crock pot, but that's how I do it here.
After all the errands were done, we came home and Jason got to chopping wood and working on our fence out back. I stayed inside and got the living room and kitchen cleaned up and laundered all the window treatments. I tell you what, this is the most relaxing Saturday I've had in a while. Just the fact that I only had two rooms to clean rather than the whole house is phenomenal. I'm going to try to keep up this pattern of cleaning during the week so I have most of my weekend free.
For dinner, Jason wanted grilled fajitas and peppers and onions, so this series of pics was taken in honor of that. Here is my man hard at work and doing what he does best; drinking beer and bar-b-que'in! He would want me to point out his loyalty to the Dallas Cowboys in spite of their recent troubles. He is no fair-weather fan!
While we were outside watching the grill, the goggies were being little show-offs. They really are hams when I get the camera out! They are such stinkers. And they're hilarious. I sat down on the couch tonight and accidentally pushed a pillow onto Toby. He woke up and looked at me like, "What the heck do you think you're doing?!" Ranger just snorted and rolled over. Lazy.
I love this pic of Ranger on the move. That's how he is when he's awake; all you see is a blur. When he's asleep, though. He's like a kid after a day at Disneyland; can't wake him up for anything!
If they could talk, I think they'd deny it, but these two are inseparable. See how Ranger cozies up to Toby in spite of Toby's laser eyes? That's love.
It has been a great Saturday and lots of fun to blog about. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be just as fun and relaxing. There's not too much on my to-do list, so I think it will be.
Thanks for reading! Au revoir!
