South Padre Bound!!

Yep! Headed south once again! I absolutely love spending the summer at South Padre! In this particular area I was able to see a couple of dolphins cruisin' in and out of the ocean. They were just beautiful!

I'll be trying to teach both of my children how to ride bikes this summer. I'm kind of having a rough time with it. So I could sure use some helpful hints. I haven't been successful in the past but am determined to succeed this time!!

Loads of sunshiny smiles to everyone!

Love,

Texas Wildflowers! Hello, SPRING!

Hi! I know I haven't posted in a long while. I enjoyed this trip to San Antonio in March and decided to stop and snap a few photos. These are a few of my favorites from that day. The indian paintbrush and the bluebonnet are a couple of my favorite Texas wildflowers that bloom every year in April and May. I hope every one of my blogging buddies is well!

Sunshine and smiles from Texas!,

Merry Christmas 2007!!

I only bake these at Christmas time. The recipe is the same recipe my Mom used to use. My mother used to have to bake a ton of them because they would just disappear as soon as she pulled them out of the oven. There is much feeling behind these cookies that bring back so many memories and that is why I only bake them on or around Christmas Day. These oatmeal cookies are a family favorite and have been since I was a little girl. We grew up with these homemade cookies at Christmas time. I finally have begun to make them myself. I have to admit they are pretty darn SCRUMPTIOUS...heehee!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas from a Countrygirl in Texas!

Love,

Countrygirl...a Birthday Girl again...so Soon!

Hey Everyone!! Remember these pics from last year? Wow, I can't believe another year has just flown right on by! I don't have the words to share as I did last year. I also haven't gotten to visit this little bar yet in December. I guess I'll just have to find some time to hang out with my girlfriends and enjoy one of these margaritas that I love so much before December is over. Life had just been a little busier this year. Even so, I am going to try this again because last year I loved all of the fabulous posts that I got to see right smack on my Birthday...December 30, 2006. I am once again making a request for some fabulous posts to be posted from all around the world on December 30th. Come on, blow me away with some of your amazing photos on that day! I sure would love it! ; - )

This Countrygirl in Texas also wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!! I hope that on New Year's Day 2008 your hearts will be filled with enough love, joy and laughter to last throughout the year! ; - )

Love from Texas!,

Countrygirl

I had to borrow one of my favorite pics from my brother, Rog! He snapped a photo of what I love most about the countryside and shared it with me this past Spring. Walking freely through a field of bluebonnets does wonders for my spirit!! He knew that I wasn't going to be able to make it home to see them so he emailed me some gorgeous pics of my favorite wildflower...the bluebonnet and saved my day that day!! He's good at that!

Dive, Moggie/ Moggs,Ladyhawk, Bruce and Anthony along with many of my new blogging pals have that same knack for being able to blow me away with dedications on their blogs that are filled with wonderful words of inspiration and gorgeous pics that just so completely save my day!!!!! Dedications such as these really sweeten my day!!! Thanks guys and gals!! You have a knack for making people feel really special!! Thanks to Anthony for introducing me to the world of blogging! If it weren't for him, I would have never met you...such wonderful guys and gals! He's the one that got me started!

Thanks from my part of the world...Texas, USA!!

Love and sweet sunshine to all of you!!

Love,

Countrygirl
