Soccer

Nana(Kay) and I spent all morning at the soccer field. Brett had games at 9 and 12, Will and I had one at 10. They were all great games. The kids were all so cute. One little girl on my team told me I could have her soccer bows. We got see Mike- a friend of the family so that made it even better.

Fair and Will's 1st day of school

Will had his first day of pre-k on the 8th. He likes it and enjoys getting to see all of his friends 3 mornings a week. We had the Amarillo fair this past week and we are all pooped. We started on Thursday and finished Sunday night. Brett won the best of show award and the best of 4H award with his 4H plaque Saturday at an awards ceremony. I did okay with my entries and 4Y did great with the heifers. Hope everyone is doing great and has a great fall. Come on cooler weather. I'm coaching Will's soccer team and cooler weather would be so welcome.

Steve loves peaches so when the peach guy came to Tulia I bought a box. These babies were giant and juicy. I had juice up to the elbows today. We now have 8 bags of peaches for this winter when we need a taste of summer. Peach pie anyone?

PW's cinnamon bread remake

Pw made this, I decided it would be easier to do it in the bread machine. SO much easier.

1 cup Milk
6 Tablespoons Butter
2-½ teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
2 whole Eggs
⅓ cups Sugar
3-½ cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
⅓ cups Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
Egg And Milk, Mixed Together, For Brushing

Melt 6 TBS of butter in microwave, then add milk. Put this in the bottom of the bread machine. Add the eggs, 1/3C sugar, salt, flour and finally the yeast. Turn on the dough setting and forget about it for 1 1/2 hrs. Take it out and roll it out to about 1/2 inch. Spread melted butter, 1/3 C sugar and 2 Tbs cinnamon on the dough and then roll up. Be sure to seal the sides. Put in a greased pan and let rise for about an hour. Bake at 350degrees for 40 minutes.

A sweet memory

Well MR. Canner it was fun and we will spend time together next year. I officially put away my canner for the year. Potaotes, green beans and apples all got canned this summer. Hopefully the tomatoes will start putting on and I can water bath them. Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler temps eventhough they are temporary. The first cold front is always the best one.
