Charming Chicks Mexican Potluck and Meeting


Our local chapter of MaryJanes Farm had a wonderful Mexican pot luck and meeting at Robins house yesterday.  She had a huge shaded yard and she along with Julie made enchiladas, tacos, lemonade and fresh strawberry,blackberry shortcake. It was delicious! We all brought Mexican dishes so we had a ton of food.  We had 99% turnout. Only one member  couldn't make it and we welcomed a new member Jane to our group.
Margie displayed her picnic totes that she made and then gave a quick tatting lesson for those who wanted to learn the old fashioned method of Tatting.  Not something you see much anymore.

We decided not to have an August meeting as everyone is so busy this time of year.  Gail has offered her home for our Sept. meeting.  It is an overnight camp out with a Hawaiian Luau theme.  We will bring food to represent that and I believe we are doing a pulled pork it a pit.  Should be alot of fun.  She has a motorhome, a teardrop camper and a tent for accomodations. lol lol can't wait.

This is our Mother  Hen Cheryl.  Love the Chilli pepper beads and sombrero.

Thank you again to our hosts Robin and Julie for a wonderful time.

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves
grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
