All done!

I'm closing up shop here at Cobb County... too many other things to get done. I'll attempt a blog when I have a good reason. The deer are in the freezer, the curling season is going strong, and I'll hold my stories for a later date. Thanks for reading!

Not a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

It's better!

Cookie Swap has come and gone

There was a little crying, a lot of food, and from my impromptu home makeover project last night I left sharp staples in the carpet that my baby nephew almost ate. But all in all it was good. Lots of good friends, family and homemade food and gifts - and plenty of butterscotch bitches.

We did a marketplace this year of what we make. Though I didn't make anything to sell, I did make my first trifle - with my famous coconut cake - chocolate pudding - whipped cream and raspberries.

I haven't been posting here much lately; but we've been working more on updating our blog for work. Check it out.

Deer Count 4

Don't ask. Let's just say there is a deer head in the freezer and a carcass hanging in the yard.

Not much new

I'm in a writing slump. It's FRICKING cold right now (0 degrees with -12 windchill), I'm in my flannel pajamas over my long underwear, winding down after the turkey-leftover-potpie-stick-to-your-ribs dinner.

I don't know what it is about this winter, maybe I'm getting old, but I feel colder than I have in years!

No news on the deer front, except for the fact that I've got multiple people who are lobbying ME to get Tom to try muzzleloading.

Isn't muzzleloading old guns with powder and special civil war costumes? Camo is about all I can take.

Hope you are warmer than I am so far this winter!

Move over deer, it's cookie season

The good news is that we made it through Thanksgiving, the bad news is that deer hunting season is NOT over yet, at least for the bowhunters out there. To be honest, I am more than ready to end the "did you see any deer when you drove in" madness around this place.

Making it through Thanksgiving means the cookie brigade begins, at least for me. And I'm putting my foot down, there will be no venison cookies this year.

I'm contemplating what new cookie will be added to the repertoire. Each year I try to add something new. I'm considering a ginger cookie, because I love the ginger cookies so. I've been researching how to make chewy gingery ones and am considering a little sandwich cookie with cream cheese/orange filling. Mmmm, ginger.

One year I added the Lime Rickey. It's the lime coconut ball thing that I love so. Mmmm, Lime Coconut Balls....

And of course, there will be the traditional butterscotch bitches, cornflake christmas wreaths and the Cobb County butterscotch puppy chow.

post your orders here.

remember when buck

meant a ride on the back of your banana seat bike? Now it means my beloved got his 2nd deer. His male deer.

Oh how life has changed.
