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!

 

Spring Storms

 

 

The guys went out exploring to see how everything fared through the April 15 Blizzard dropping nearly 18 inches of beautiful snow.  I wish we could bottle it up and send it farther East to those who are in serious fire danger right now!

Here is a log that fell (on the fence and trail that we had already cleared once this spring!  Joys of Mountain Ranching!).

With this beautiful weather, all the snow will be gone by the end of the weekend I’m sure!  Wishing you all some moisture this spring!
