A Man the Woods and a Plan to Keep Briars Out of Your Face

-
You know how men love equipment.

Big equipment.

Like taking the bush hog to do what a mower could do.

Well, maybe a mower could do it but then where would the fun or the thrill be?

Where would the tractor, the chain, the bush hog, the loader be?


Who would blaze new trails in the woods?

Who would pull logs out of the way with their bare hands, bare hands on a tractor wheel that is?



Who would venture into those dark woods making it safe for the rest to follow?
 
 
 
Who would continue until the set of the sun.
A man, that's who.
A man and his equipment.

And they will do it all for a glass of Iced Sweet Tea and lots of oohing and ahhing and making over them and telling them no other man, not even John Wayne could have cleared that path like he did.

And that ladies is how you get a trail you can ride through with out getting briars in your face and a vast array of others things on your "Honey Do List" too.

    This morning I decided to prune my rosebushes while it was still not too hot.

    I was piling the trimmings (ouch that hurts) when my man walks by, shakes his head and says, "You're making quite a mess for me to clean up, aren't you?"

    I just grinned and thought... Yeah, you da man!

    Love me a good man and I definitely have a good one. He pulls all the poison ivy! ;)

Raisin Pie....AN OLD FASHIONED FAVORITE

-
Image
Some of you requested the Raisin Pie recipe so here it is. I had never had a raisin pie until I married into the Gray family. Mark loved them and when I was given a bridal shower before we married, everyone was asked to bring a recipe. Marilyn Losson brought this one. I have to admit as a young wife I let it sit in the recipe box for a little while but once I took it out, it just kept coming back out. Mark's grandpa Gray loved a raisin pie and so we took this over to his house often and of course we took a half gallon vanilla ice cream along with us. When Lucas came in the other day and saw this on the counter he said the first thing he thought of was Grandpa Herman. The girls aren't crazy about this pie but Lucas likes it and he likes it with ice cream too, so I'm thinking it's a Gray man thing. Okay, so here we go, the recipe is..... 2 cups seedless raisins 2 cups water 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/8 tsp. salt 1 Tbs

Then take a sharp knife and make eight fairly deep slices across the top of the bread. Brush the top of the bread with Italian salad dressing. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
