A Little Branding

For a family who hasn’t branded cattle on their own ranch in nearly 2 years this was a welcome sight!   Some of our good friends needed a few head branded and summered so we said bring them on up!

Here are some highlights from that fun day!

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!
