TEXAS LONGHORN

We can  drive from one small town to another here in Texas

see these guy's in almost every field..........they are beautiful.   

We love our motto

here in Texas too.

Please tell me .............

How.... at the turn of last century...we could fly as many AMERICAN flags as we wished in OUR Country..and now we are arrested for flying them in some venues ?  

It's STILL our country isn't it ? 

     

I AM IN LOVE WITH..

We would be the "bee's knee's" with this on.........!

By Abe Lincoln...

These words touched me so today...
This is on GBTV ... "I’m drawn more than ever to the words of Abraham Lincoln. Speaking in his Gettysburg Address," where he said,

“It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

~Abraham Lincoln~

Bride & Future Bride, Edwardian Dresses

" THE BACKYARD "

 It would be great to have this as my backyard.... I am thinking.   Or I would settle for it being my backdoor neighbors.......that would be nice.

Enlarge to enjoy .

FRIED RICE~ YUMMM

I just love fried rice...do you...?  Here is a recipie that I just found for it...looks good to me.

Fried Rice

3 cups cooked white rice (day old or leftover rice works best!)

3 tbs sesame oil

1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)

1 small onion, chopped

2 tsp minced garlic

2 eggs, slightly beaten

1/4 cup soy sauce

On medium high heat, heat the oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the peas/carrots mix, onion and garlic. Stir fry until tender. Lower the heat to medium low and push the mixture off to one side, then pour your eggs on the other side of skillet and stir fry until scrambled. Now add the rice and soy sauce and blend all together well. Stir fry until thoroughly heated! **You could really play around with this rice too! Try adding some diced ham, or green onion :) Yum!

NANTUCKET .........Cottages

Years ago...we went to Nantucket...it was a delightful experience...
In the week we spent there, we saw more cottages and sweet little places to stay like these.  
We stayed at a Bed & Breakfast which was quite nice.
We walked everywhere...however, we took a ride out to the very TIP of the Island where it became... land no more...in a dune buggy..it was great fun.

HAVE A SAFE MEMORIAL WEEK END
