Peanut Brittle

Mel loves peanut brittle.  I made a batch for Christmas; however, it is gone so I suppose I will need to make more!

We had changed out our microwave this year, so I had to make adjustments for this microwave.  I then made notes on my recipe for future batches.

OKC for Shopping and Jett's Christmas Program

Mel and I finished up our Christmas shopping, then went to Jett's Christmas program.

One place we visited was Urban Farmhouse.

What a neat store!

 The orchestra performed very well!  

Amazing how accomplished they are after 3 months of practice!

Time at grandkids' activities is always fun and memorable!

First Batch of Christmas Candy

That time of the year to make candy.  My first batch included fudge and chocolate covered peanuts.

Now, what is next on the list???

Cinnamon Rolls for Grammy

Grammy's Sunday School party was Saturday, December 5th.  She asked me if I would make cinnamon rolls for her to take.
The Pioneer Woman's cinnamon roll recipe is easy, just time consuming, and so delicious!

Ready to rise then the oven

They turned out great and Grammy said they were all eaten!!

Using the Round Pen

Now it was time for Mel to work with the horses in the round pen.  

Hotshot in the pen

Hotshot and Mel had spectators!

Buttercup and Frosty are watching.  Buddy was in another pasture or he would have been watching as well!!

Mel took Hotshot out of the pen, then Frosty and Buttercup left.  

Do you suppose each was saying, "I'm not going to be next!!"?

Putting Up the Round Pen

Mel ordered a round pen to use with the horses.  Since the each panel is 6 foot high, 10 foot long and weighs 168 pounds, we knew the tractor would be the only way for us to accomplish our task.

This is how he carried each panel and the gate.

Mel and I completed the project with no difficulty!!

What a great looking round pen ready for use!!
