I didn't think we would ever make it out of Central Texas but it's done now! Getting out of the city, away from the hustle and bustle, the noise and the traffic.... all behind us now. Let the adventure begin!We made it to Oklahoma and met the Pioneer Living folks. They invited us up to visit with them awhile and lend a hand on the homestead. We took them up on the offer. They have a really nice place out in the middle of BFE. Which is way off the beaten path for those that don't know :)
There are huge garden areas here with super sandy loam. Chickens and rabbits as well. They even recently were given a horse!
John met us at the gate on his ATV and guided us to a spot to park the RV. What a nice family!
Carrie made a great dinner for us on our first night here . Taco soup with tortilla chips topped with sour cream and cheese. Yummy! John brought out a jar of caynne peppers he had put up last summer. He used a bread and butter mix instead of the standard vinegar. I have to say I think he is on to something. The peppers were spicey with a hint of sweet. I definately want to get his recipe (actually its Carrie's recipe) and do some experimenting. I am thinking that jalapeno's would be pretty good put up like that.
We have been getting settled into the RV and trying to make it "home". Mars has been really busy doing man stuff around here and things are coming along nicely. Today he and John are out working on planting something.... potato's and carrots I think.
Yesterday, John made homemade dough-nuts and sent some over to us via his sweet nine year old daughter, the Flower Girl. Those were some darn good dough-nuts I have to tell you!
Today's first photo is courtesy of the Flower Girl. She brought them over to us yesterday.
