Spring 2009

Just some thoughts...I would LOVE to visit Ennis, Texas sometime in my lifetime during the month of April!! In case you don't already know, I absolutely ADORE bluebonnets and I hardly ever get to see them!! I miss them every Spring!! Anyone up for a roadtrip...heehee!!

Happy Spring!!

Countrygirl will be A Birthday Girl this Month!

This is a pic of an Oak tree in my sister's backyard. Recently, at my neice's birthday party in San Antonio, I was just looking up and enjoyed the view and snapped a pic.

I hope it's not too late and I hope I get some responses. In just a few days, I'll be having a birthday on December 30th. Yup, it's that time again. For the past two years, I've put the request out there for some cool pics to be posted on that day for me to admire and appreciate and I received some fantabulous responses. I know this year is a little different because I haven't really blogged or posted much but I still love you guys and I love how you have continued to be so thoughtful and kind even though I haven't had the time that I'd like to post. Think about it. I'd love to see some of your inspirational and gorgeous photos on that day.

This small town countrygirl wishes a very Merry Christmas to everyone in blogland! I hope you had yourselves a very merry little Christmas!

Love,

Countrygirl

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!

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,

Sandra
