So Much to Post...So Little Time

It seems like forever since I have posted. The Williamsons are doing well. We know that we are truly blessed.

What's been happening with us.....hunting, shopping, catching up with friends and family, taking a test, amazing fall garden with a record breaking eggplant (pics to come), and getting ready for the holidays!!!

Tomorrow Kicks it All Off!!!!

It's Beginning to Look

Alot Like Christmas

For the past five years, mom and I have attended and SHOPPED like crazy at The Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market. If you have not experienced this, then you are missing out. Tons of shopping and ladies having so much fun. Proceeds benefit the ballet which has a special place in my heart.

Tomorrow we are heading out again for some more hunting. I didn't get pictures last week because my focus was studying for a test.

Man, I feel like I am full of rambles.....

Oh Bla de O Bla da....

Life Goes On and So do We!!!

~I promise tons of pics and details about this coming weekend.~

Halloween 2009

This past week has been a typical Halloween, C-R-A-Z-Y. While one holiday brought us a time of our world crashing to a complete halt; this holiday sings blessed praises. On Friday, Jason received a wonderful job opportunity. We feel like the weight of the world is off of our shoulders. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during this time, that seemed like forever. We appreciate them.

Friday night our great neighbors came over for a few celebration toasts. It was so fun to see them and to have joy in our home again.

On Halloween, hubby and I decided to make pumpkin bread for my team at work. These ladies have been extremely kind during this time. I could not have asked for a better group of ladies to work with.

Check out these beauties...

Yep, you can see Remington hanging out on the kitchen floor, (between the barstool bars)

This was Rem's 1st Halloween. He did not understand why the doorbell kept ringing. He did slide past me one time and made his way to the end of the sidewalk. Daddy was not very happy.

We decided to sit outside and wait for the trick-or-treaters and found that Remington hates this holiday. He was so scared of these things (kids) walking up (dressed in costumes) and getting something (candy) from mommy. We decided to spend the rest of the night inside.

Remington's 1st Halloween!!

His costume...Marley

(everyone said that's who he looks like, He's just our Boo!!!)

On Sunday, we went to church and ran some much needed errands around town. The entire day was glorious, wonderful, and amazing.

Psalm 25:5

...guide me in your truth and teach me,

for you are God my Savior,

and my hope is in you all day long.

Life Ain't Always Beautiful....

Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart
Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day
But the struggle makes you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin' it sweet time

No,life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Just a simple song ...But our family has been graciously blessed this week. And it's been a beautiful ride.

It's A Family Tradition

Today Jason and I went to the St. Mary's Catholic Church Polish Festival in Brenham. My mom's side of the family has deep roots in the Polish heritage so this was just a step back in time for me. However, for Jason this was a whole new experience. We enjoyed Polish music, good food, and seeing family. What a great time!

On the menu was.......

Black Soup

Better known as Duck Blood Soup

Or (as I grew up with) Czernina

Czernina, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Czernina [t​͡ʂɛrˈnina] (from czarny "black"; sometimes also Czarnina or Czarna polewka) is a Polish soup made of duck blood (sometimes hen, rabbit or pigs blood would be used) and clear poultry broth. In English it is referred to as Duck Blood Soup.

Generally the sweet and sour taste of the soup comes from the addition of sugar and vinegar. However, there are hundreds of recipes popular in different parts of Poland and Lithuania. Among the ingredients used are plum or pear syrup, dried pears, plums or cherries, apple vinegar and honey. Like most Polish soups, czernina is usually served with fine noodles, macaroni or boiled potatoes.

Until the 19th century czernina was also a symbol in Polish culture. It was served to young men applying for the hand of their beloved ones after the parents rejected their proposal. It is a plot element in Pan Tadeusz, a famous Polish epic poem by Adam Mickiewicz.
It is also a regional dish in Kaszuby and Poznań.

We also ate some of this...

Jason takes a bite of the soup, HA!

Mouth full

Mmmmmm,mmmmm Good.....OK I took a bite QUIT taking PICTURES, hehehe.

Belly full, room for dessert???I love sharing traditions such as this with Jason. I can't wait until we have our own kids and they get to experience lots of neat things.

October 21, 2006

Three years ago I was getting ready to marry the man of my dreams, my Cowboy. I will share more later this week but for now I am going to enjoy this time in marital bliss.

Crazy Fun!!

Cowboy and I have been enjoying ourselves on the Williamson Farm the past few weekends. However, this weekend we decided to embrace the beautiful weather and take a few road trips.

On Saturday, we ventured out to Crockett, Texas to put on the finishing touches for deer season. I woke up thinking, "today is a special today" but I couldn't remember what it is.

Until I saw this handsome boy.....

Happy 8th Month Birthday

Remington

How could I forget. Daddy and I made up for it. Rem was in Doggy Heaven ALL day.

He even had his first trip to Sonic!!!

No, doggy treats here....what a bummer.

Are you sure they don't have any dog bones?

Hangin' out in the back seat


Jason and I had to sight in his 30-06 deer rifle. He wanted me to take a few shots since I am such a sharp shooter, HA!!

Jason's dad said he would process the first deer. He may be eating his words once I get out there, HA!!!

Crazy hubby in his camo

I can't believe I have been married to this wonderful guy for almost 3 years!!!

He loves when I take our pictures over and over and over again, hehehe

On Sunday, we traveled to visit my parents and enjoy another church bazaar. We also saw my Grandma S. and enjoyed a great chat about many Czech traditions she had growing up (while watching the Texans game). All the reminiscing made us go home and make homemade Schmazenhas, it's a Czech donut. We had so much fun that we decided that next weekend we are going to a Polish Festival in Brenham. Jason has never been so culturalized before!!

We enjoyed the past few weekends relaxing at home but we sometimes miss wild Williamson adventures...the best is yet to be!!
