Y’all remember I recently wrote about our road trip to visit our all-time favorite aunt & uncle in west Texas? What a wonderful time we had while we were there. It seems we can never get enough of these two amazing family members!
While we were there we went to several garage sales. The sales in Amarillo are AMAZING and have spoiled us forever in going to garage sales anywhere else. LOL
RancherMan was looking for a small stadium seat to use in his hunting stand,. But these things apparently really retain their value and he was not pleased with the prices he found. Even for the used ones!
The good news is we found one while out garage saleing and it was basically free!
The bad news is… Well, it was not only U-G-L-Y harvest gold plastic, but also in bad shape with torn edges and foam sticking out.

This recipe for lightly sweet and crisp sweet pickles can be made one quart at a time. Perfect since the garden doesn’t always crank out those fresh cucumbers at the same rate. And this sweet pickle recipe is so simple anyone can do it!

Recently a smart friend shared her recipe for making what she called ‘Haymaker Punch’. She uses this healthy drink as her own homemade Gatorade during the summer. ‘
Her recipe used 4 simple ingredients: apple cider vinegar, filtered water, grated ginger and honey.
I’m a big fan of carbonated ginger drinks so I couldn’t wait to try it out!

As many of you know, recently I had to bring a mama cow into the barn recently. We had to milk out one of her quads since her newborn calf neglected it long enough for it to get very large. I didn’t want to risk her getting mastitis. And the longer the calf neglected it the larger it became.
Although our cows are not a dairy breed, she gave me about a half gallon of fresh milk from just that one quad! I’d never milked a cow before & I was pretty excited to get that fresh milk. So I sat out to put it all to good use. I decided to make homemade yogurt with it, but I had trouble skimming the cream easily. So I turned to my Facebook Followers to find out how they easily skimmed the cream from the milk.

We wanted to make our own custom Cornhole Game for our family reunion. Thankfully it was EASY and it turned out way cute!
We even decided to make it Ranch Themed. So I free-handed a cow image on our cornhole decks. Everyone loved the way they turned out. Check it out.
