Happy Halloween from Barney and Betty Rubble!

King Buscuit Time!

We got to spend some time with Jared's Aunt Tami who is an amazing woman and a great Aunt! We are so glad we got to spend time with her.

BB KING...very cool. So glad I got to see him in my lifetime. I know that he will not be around forever and I am so excited that I got to see him. So where did I see him you ask? In Helena at the Kind Buscuit Blues Festival. It was my first time and it was amaizing. Next year we plan on spending more time there.


 
 
 
 
 
 
All in all it was a short but GREAT trip. We are ready for next year!

Suzy Homemaker Here...

I made pickles and pickled okra. Yummy. This was super easy and a lot of fun. I soaked cucumbers and okra in pickling lime. Then after giving them a good wash I cut of about 1/2 inch from the end of the cucumbers and steamed the okra for prep. Then I mixed my seasonings...this time I bought them in a package but now I plan on making my own dill mix. I brought vinegar, seasonings and water to a boil then turned it off but left it to keep warm on the stove. Then in a large pot I brought water to a boil. I sterilized the mason jars then packed them with okra or cucumbers then filled the jars with my seasoning mix until it was about 1/2 inch from the top. Then after put lids on the jars each took their turn in the boiling hot water! Though the first jar broke the others came out fine. I have them soaking in the refrigerator now for about two weeks then time to eat! Well now that I have tried making eggplant parmesan, canned pickles and okra, and last night planted some herbs and cherry tomatoes for my indoor garden who knows what is next? Maybe making canned tomatoes or pasta sauce. Happy Tuesday everyone!

Happy Birthday

Tattoo, bowling, food, and friends. All in all I would say it was a Happy Birthday for Jared!

So far so great!

So far this has been in a great mini-vacation. We have celebrated Jared's birthday with bowling, friends, and yummy foods. Then we watched our Hogs come close to victory lol with friends and food. Now it is time for a few days to rest, get the leaves in the yard under control, and enjoy this news fall weather. We have had a bit of a fall snap and we are praying that it sticks around. The yard needs some serious TLC. So we hope and pray that you all have a great weekend and we are planning to just relax and enjoy our down time.

Things that I am looking forward too.

1. Going to look for the perfect pumpkin
2. Camping
3. Celebrating Jared's birthday
4. Getting the office and guest room put together
5. Enjoying being outside more...AKA working on the yard
6. Race for the Cure
7. Starting a new gym with a great friend
8. Fall festivals

Is there anything you all are looking forward too?

Thank you Lord for these nice cool mornings and nights...Fall is here...or almost right?

These are faux pumpkins that I carved and put small battery operated lights that look like flickering candles in. They are super cute in the dark. You can see below.

Then I found these great plastic bags and figured out what to do with most of the newspaper I have saved. So closer to October I will stick these out front.

 Now for these name place holders. I got a great deal on these. So instead of names for a dinner party they have note cards with things we are thankful for...our first home, hubs, wiffy, family, health, friends etc.

This last one is an acorn and small pumpkin. They are too precious and just a few of the great fall things that are now all around the house.
