Arnie’s Second Month with us!

 

 

 

 

In case you missed the first post introducing our newest baby…..Here is Arnie!  Arnie came to us from a neighbor who asked if we would take him in as an orphaned and of course I did!  (Yes – my husband is calling me ‘Ellie Mae’ these days!).   But how could I resist this little horse colt who was only 4 weeks old when he got to the ranch

Probably my favorite picture, and soon thereafter I gave a big lecture about laying by Arnie’s feet…..What a way to grow up!

Giving Back: The Pioneer Women

I couldn’t believe it, about 6 months ago Ree Drumond, The Pioneer Women contacted us through Facebook after learning of our house fire!

I was shocked and still am.  She sent her condolences as well as asked for our address.  Little did I know that a few weeks later I would receive a beautiful package in the mail with 3 signed cookbooks to help replenish my kitchen recipe supply!

AND THEN – – Soon after that, I received a personal email from Ree giving us a gift certificate for CHEFs.com to help give us a hand up in stocking the kitchen with supplies as well!

How amazing is this!

 

I still have a hard time believe the outpouring of support over the past year, and to have someone in Ree’s position send out recipe books and a gift certificate was such a neat thing that we will cherish forever!

Thank You so much to Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Women and her entire crew!  We wish you the best year in all of your different business endeavors!
