While we are deciding that, here are a few of my favorite things from around here this week:
Y'ALL!!! Check out this charcuterie board my friend Brad made. Make sure to zoom in on the cardinal and look at the detail. That is all natural wood! He is truly an artist! He's working up a quote for me for 2 more charcuterie boards for some recent grads in my life and a personalized cutting board for a family member getting married. I can not wait to see them!
To see more of his work, go to his Insta account at @mathecustomcreations. If you have an idea, he can make it come to life--and probably add more details than you thought were possible! I really believe that he will be famous for his artistry one day and am so glad I have discovered him now.
You can also email him HERE. If you check him out, tell him I said Hi!
Visiting Friends
You probably noticed the gorgeous redhead in the pic with the charcuterie board. That's Tonya. She was one of my college roommates and I completely adore her!!! Living up here at the farm is often lonely because I don't see many people. In fact, other than Caroline's school counselor, I have not met anyone else here yet and it's been 10 months! I have had several friends come visit me and have a few more scheduled in the next few months and, let me tell you, they encourage me SO much!!!
Tonya and I were pot-luck roommates. We both prayed REALLY hard the summer before we moved in together in Kerr Hall at UNT--that God would give us a Christian roommate. And He totally did! We lost touch for a bit after college, but reconnected several years ago. She brought her sweet daughter with her this past weekend to visit me and we were laughing as we were trying to explain to her that cell phones and email were not used much when we graduated.
And getting to meet her daughter was so sweet! She loved everything about the farm and is an old soul like I was as a kid--she even gave me an idea of doing a Farm/Craft camp for teens in the future!
Everyone needs a Tonya in her life!
Cooking for Granny is interesting. She likes most veggies, but is picky about her meat. She doesn't like casserole-type things--everything needs to be separate. BUT, she does love her some kielbasa. I have started cooking one-pan meals at least once a week and we all love them. I take whatever veggies I have on hand, slice them, toss them in olive oil and sea salt and throw them on a pan. Then I put the kielbasa on there. Everyone will eat this without me having to alter it for each person's preferences.
And you know what is just as good as the meal? The fact that there are hardly any dishes to clean from it!!! It's a win-win!!! Do you cook any one-pan meals? I need more recipes so send them my way if you have them!
If you haven't tried this app, you have probably not been on social media this week. I think I like my cartoon self better than my regular self. Not only did it give me green eyes, but none of the gray shows in my hair-LOL! This app really is fun. Have you tried it? I wanna see your pic!
I will leave you with a few of the #farmcharm pics I took this week...
