Klamath Falls Charming Chicks June Meet and Fiesta

 Today was our Klamath Falls Charming Chicks June Meeting and Mexican Fiesta PotLuck.  We had a wonderful time and our hostess Robin has such a beautiful shady yard that it all made for a fine afternoon.  We had many great dishes along with some varieties of fruit wines to choose from.  Mary brought some Chicken,Tequilla, Lime tacos that were sooooooooo good.  There was a couple great casserole dishes and homemade totillia chip and salsa. yummy yummy. To finish off there was a fresh homemade strawberry and blueberry pie.  Also there was fresh watermelon and the biggest strawberries ever.  We planned some upcoming events to earn money for charities we donate to and discussed how we could all help out.  We caught up with all thats been going on with everyone as now that summer is here we don't get to see everyone at all the meetings.    We had a great afternoon and will be back at Robins in July for the Century Eagle Air show.  The airport is in her back yard so we will have front row seats.  We are having a pot luck then also and families are coming too .  Another fun time to get together.  Our group was small this time as some are traveling, sick, or caring for other family members but whether its two or twenty us farmgirls always have alot to share.
Oh, what a great bunch of farmchicks we are!

2nd. Annual Tea Party

 Mary and I hosted our 2nd annual tea Party  last
Saturday and as always it was lots of work and fun.
we played some tea games of Proper Tea Etiquette
and learned many things we didn't know. lol
We also played the penny game and all was fun.
We had gone to a specialty tea store  and got some nice teas as prizes.  Whenever we get together we have alot of fun.  We gave each guest hardbound tea books with recipes for scones, and other nice things.
At the Tea Party we served Chilled shrimp, chicken salad sandwhiches with pine nuts in them and cream cheese cucumber sandwhiches and also small stuffed baby peppers with artichoke cream cheese.

For our sweet tooth we served apricot scones, lemon yogurt bread, and walnut pie.

For beverages we served victorian iced tea make with spices and apricot nector and club soda (so good) and of course traditional hot tea.

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.
