December 1st

As I woke this morning to the coffee pot gurgling, it hit me that it was December 1st.  That means only 24 more days until Christmas, 24 MORE DAYS PEOPLE!  Ok, I do have most of the shopping done, but I have NO baking done.  When I mean baking I mean get the 25lb bag and almost that amount of sugar and butter.  There are a lot of people who expect cinnamon rolls, tea rings..not just cookies..no way!  Then I remembered it was only December 1st!

So, since it is December 1st you would think it would be cold, we are in the middle of the Midwest, but nope it is a nice 58* and cloudy, but 58*!  FineWine (Feb. Hereford) and Elba (Feb. Angus) are tied in the barn, being pampered and getting hugs and kisses. Okay, Elba is not that loving, but FineWine is.  I would really like to be a show heifer for these 4 kids:)  While kids have been in the barn I did order our Christmas cards,  the picture I used everyone in the house approved (a first time..ever!)  The odd thing about this picture is we had it taken at Ethan's Rodeo just because, we did not spend more than $10 on it and it looks WONDERFUL. 

Other things that have been going on around here is gathering Silent Auction items for Rhinestones and Rodeo.  Somethings that we have are a Wooden Rocking Horse made by one of our local veterinarians, box seats to Ethan's Rodeo in 2013 and we are looking into concert tickets.  There are much more, but this is what came this week.  If you would want to view all the items they will be posted soon to www.upatdowncountry.com . 

Until later here is a sneak peek at our Christmas card!

Have A Great Day:)
