Country & Cookies!
What a Legend!!
While watching the CMA’s last night – which were terrific – I found these fabulous new cookies. A friend at work brought them home from her trip to the Netherlands. They are wonderful, especially with coffee or tea. I found them at our local grocery store and you must try them!! A waffle cookie with caramel in the middle – yum! The Gevalia Mocha k-cups are pretty good too! The k-cups are a bit expensive so I think next time I’ll make my own Mocha Latte by adding my own hot chocolate to my coffee mug before the coffee k-cup brews. Congrats to George Strait – Entertainer of the Year (so handsome)!!! andddd to Blake Shelton – Male Vocalist of the Year & Album of the Year and Miranda Lambert – Female Vocalist of the Year!!!

My 1st “Grammy” Purchase!
Sooooo, I’ve been afraid to give in to my “grammy” desires to buy every thing insight. So I thought for nowwwww I’d start buying diapers and stocking up on them so the kids would have them when it was time. Baby Benson is due May 17, 2014 and we should find out around Christmas time if “we’re” having a boy or a girl!!! I still can’t believe it!! There will be NOOOO holding me back from “grammy” purchases once I know, pink or blue!! LOL

Texas Trip
I met Stan earlier this year when he was coming through the Denver area and we’ve remained friends. He’s currently living in the Austin area of Texas and he’d invited me to come down for his family reunion. So I did, always love going somewhere I’ve never been and I’d never been to Texas. We stayed at his mom’s house (Wanda & Mac) and then went to the reunion on Sunday at his sister’s house (Bev & Rick). Stan is Miranda Lambert’s uncle (Stan’s sister is Miranda’s mom) so it was great to meet her family. Miranda was in California over the weekend and wasn’t able to come. Wanda & Mac were a kick and Stan’s sister, Bev is just a hoot. I loved Bev’s home – it’s an big old farmhouse with a big front porch and all original wood floors – I was totally in love with it. “Roadie” is the little dog in the pic. Rick had found him on the side of the road while on a hunting trip. The little white house is “The House That Built Me” and is the actual home that Miranda’s song is about – it is where they lived when they had fallen on hard times when she was young. It’s actually down the road from where they live now. Wanted to share a few of my pics with you all. It was a great time and what an experience!

Pink Pistol Texas
Here are some more pics of Miranda’s store in Lindale, Texas. Cute little town. Her store is in an old bank building on the corner of town. She also has her own wine label and 7 different varieties. At this point I believe it’s only sold in Texas – hopefully one day in Colorado. Our wine server was adorable – kept calling me ma’am – sooooo cute!! Love those country accents!! My first choice would normally be a Cabernet but their Merlot was crazy good! Very smooth, so I brought home 2 bottles to share with the girls . . . girls night on the horizon!! LOL . . . . more tomorrow.

Breckenridge Trip
My Texas bestie, Robin & I had a great time in Breckenridge. Perfect “girlfriend” trip, snow, chick-flicks, wine & great food. The weather was sunny and perfect on the drive up. When I took the off-ramp I couldn’t help but laugh . . . remembering when my cousins & sister came out to visit a few years ago. At the top of the off-ramp there’s a roundabout and in the roundabout there are a bunch of aspen trees and in the middle of the aspens is a huge bronze statue of an elk . . . my cousins, Marsha & Laura “made” me pull over (illegally) and they climbed up on the elk (illegally) and I took a picture of them! So crazy!! But I laughed as I drove by it!! Anywhooo . . . it snowed up there 2 of the days we were there, I never get tired of watching snow fall – just love it!! We went into town one of the days and went to lunch and did a little shopping. And Michele – I did find a treasure!!!
