Peach Margaritas


Last night I made my Aunt Cynthia's Peach Margaritas for my sister's birthday. They were a hit! Here is the recipe...

1 6oz can frozen limeade
6oz tequila
6oz Triple Sec
6 Tablespoons lime juice
2 cups fresh peaches
4 cups ice cubes

1. Combine all ingredients except ice in blender. Blend well.
2. Pour half of the mixture into a container. Then add 2 cups ice to the mixture in the blender and blend well. Pour the blended margarita into a container for the freezer.
3. Pour the remaining half of the mixture into the blender and add 2 cups ice to blend. Place in the freezer until ready to serve.

Serves 6 to 8

Sword of the Spirit

A month or so ago I decided I wanted to design a sword pendant. I was inspired by a couple of things; the Sword of the Spirit found in Ephesians 6 and Joan of Arc. Here is the final product. I love the way it turned out. Next up: the Shield of Faith.

Vintage Prints

I love how these antique botanical prints look in the shiny freshly painted frames. Lara will be taking them to the Dallas Flea this weekend.

Lambies


Today one of my dad's ewes had triplets! I helped him move them from the pasture to the pen so we can keep an eye on them and make sure they are getting enough to eat. So far so good, but we have lamb food ready just in case.

Things Found on a Walk

I've been walking a lot lately; to work, to the store, etc. When I spy something interesting, I pick it up. I thought this made a cool collection.

Separated at Birth

Never in her wildest dreams did Vivian expect to meet her long lost twin today. It was a short, but sweet reunion.
