Happy May day!

Dear friends;

The other day I made the comment that I woke up and realized I'd lost 2 months. Seems like I've totally lost March & April and now it's May. Already. Moving to our "new" place has been all consuming. We're not very organized or put together, but we're here, & we're in.

We've had our first "company-here for a meal", I did my first bread/cinnamon roll baking, I made my first ever strawberry pie, along with my first ever decent pie crust (which was a necessity after I burnt the nice boughten pre-made crust to a crisp) What's a girl to do when she has the filling all ready to go into the pie crust & ruins the crust at 9 p.m. at night, when you live in the country & the convenient small grocery store just 3 miles up the road in town closes when the sun goes down? You pull out pioneer woman's cookbook of course! I figured if there was anyone who could help me, she could and guess what! I did it. Not only that- the pie crust was totally easy & absolutely delicious! I'm hooked!

Today I've got my husband busy hanging stuff on my walls. I'm not above pounding nails--even two or three times to get something in the right place, but these are plaster walls. He's the painter & when I mess up his wall too badly with my impatience.....well, 'nough said!

I'm anxious to share pictures with you all, but again, that's going to have to wait a bit.
What I will share with you today is my niece's new-made-over blog. Not only does she have a great new look, but she's having a fun contest too! Check it out, and see what everyone is "clucking" about!

I'll be back soon--I'm still intending to give "our space" a new name and look! Happy May day(s) to you all!
