Geronimo!

Hey! See that picture up there? The one in the header... the one of my booth in Geronimo, Texas... yep... that's the one... Well, tomorrow I'll be redecorating for Christmas.... yes, I know I'm at least a month behind... but it's on the planning board...
My sweet bro-in-law, Don, who loves to read the French Lique, Texas Blog, (shout out to you Don!) asked me on Thanksgivig day, "how in the world do you get it all done? Work, Home, Camping, the Blog, the Booth..." Answer.... Obviously... "not in a very timely manner".... but sooner or later... I (often with Ricky's and Jen's help) get it all done...

down here in French Lique...
So... come back and see me soon... I'll post a new header and some Christmas photos of the booth.

Where in the heck is French Lique, Texas????

Where in the heck is French Lique, Texas????

Boy! Do I get asked that question a lot! You know, in the age of Google, Mapsco, Mapquest, Yahoo Maps... you'd think people could figure that out!

I know, I know... you've already googled and you can't find it! You've pulled out your Texas road map and there's no French Lique listed.

You've found French Lick, Indiana... but no sister city, French Lique, Texas.

I mean really Dixie! What's the deal?!

With so many wondering... you know... you've seen the comments...

I thought I'd do the very least I could do (yes, you read that phrase correctly), and put the information link on my sidebar.

So, if "Where the heck is French Lique" has been a burning question for you, please feel free to link via my sidebar and find out... Now and forever, the mystery is solved.
Hey... here we are... right there that little red spot in the county...
Just sittin' on the front porch with a big grin on my face down here in French Lique...

2008... the year in review...

Cindy at "My Romantic Home" is hosting a "Year in Review" party, so I've decided to attend. This is my first year blogging from French Lique and I've enjoyed sharing Ricky's and my little escapades. I've decided to pick one photo from each month for my year in review... which is not quite a year yet... but hey... who's counting.... right? If you'd like to look back with me and read the accompanying post, just click on the name of the month, and you will be transported in time.

A year in review... right here in French Lique...
In May, I introduced French Lique to the world... well... the blogger world anyway...

In June, we adopted Roxy (left) and Pepper (black poodle) from a local no kill shelter. Pepper went to our youngest daughter in Dallas. Roxy is ours and we love her. They cost a little more than anticipated once we had everything done... but they were well worth the expense. Precious (right) loves them, especially Roxy, her new sister!


In July, some smuck broke in to our home to steal our new TV, but thanks to the heroics of my brother-in-law, Ernie... they only got away with my jewelry... All of my jewelry... I was sad, but God said, "it was just stuff"... and I felt better... still miss wearing some of those pieces though!


In August we celebrated my LOVE of Brussels Sprouts! I like blogging about eating food... not cooking it... just eating it!


In September, Ricky finally finished restoring the old lawn tractor he purchased on eBay. The same tractor that created the December road trip!


In October, the debates were at the top of my list... my confusion list... I didn't like either one of these guys! I was so glad when the elections were over!

In November, there was so much going on! I got very prolific in my postings and put up nearly one post per day. My favorite... when I finally began my home office declutter project. To start; the desk. I've begun to "reclutter" now... I think there's a New Year's Resolution here somewhere!

The first part of December, we had snow in south Texas!
But the very best part of December this year, was that I got to see my sister the week of Christmas... thanks once again to that darn lawn tractor!

A short walk down Memory Lane, my first year posting from French Lique...
PS... you're invited back for the first Wordless Wednesday celebration next week!
