Pecan Cobbler

If you like Pecan Pie, you will Love (with a capital L) this cobbler. It is wonderful!! I got the recipe from The Pecan Shed last year & made it for the Joy VFD Brisket dinner. Easy & heavenly!!

PECAN COBBLER

3 cups light corn syrup (I used 2 cups light & 1 cup regular pancake syrup, because I didn't have enough light syrup)
3 c. granulated sugar
1/3 cup melted butter or margarine
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 eggs
3 cups pecan pieces (I used pecan halves)
1 Pillsbury Just Unroll Pie Crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Mix together syrup, sugar, butter or margarine, vanilla, and eggs. Pour 1/3 of mixture into pan. Lay crust on top. Stir pecans into remaining mixture. Pour on top of crust. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until center is nearly set.

Pump Jack Cemetery

I call this picture "Pump Jack Cemetery". In one of Behm's pastures is this old, unused oil field equipment. It reminds me of a place where old pump jacks go to die.

PUMPING

One of Behm's jobs is a pumper for an oil company. This well is called the Flowerpot well by everyone because the weight on top resembles a flowerpot. Behm's Daddy worked on the rig when this well was drilled over 60 years ago. The flowerport has gone up & down almost every day since then.

King of the Hill

Oh, no! Just read where "King of the Hill" has been cancelled. I guess my life has become too routine to be funny anymore. One night I was watching an episode where Peggy starts imagining all sorts of bad things happening to Bobby. Off the wall kind of things like he had tripped over a cord, fell on a knife & was lying there wrapped up in the cord, bleeding & couldn't get help. You know the kind of things only a bizarre person would think of. I had the words coming out of my mouth to say Peggy was crazy, when I stopped in mid-sentence & said, "Oh my! Peggy is ME!!"

Prell Shampoo

Grandma Kinney always used Prell shampoo to wash her hair. It was the prettiest emerald green color in a glass bottle like the one pictured above. I recently bought Prell because it was cheap, but I got the best reward. When I opened the bottle, there was that wonderful smell of Grandma Kinney. It made me cry, but in a good way. Maybe if I use it enough I will be almost as great a grandmother as she was. Can't happen - she was one of the best!

Laundry

Off to do my weekend laundry!



I've found this amazing store where you put your clothes in a bag, hand it to the people, and they give clean & ironed clothes back to you!!



I think it is called the cleaners. Unique name, huh?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BEHM!

On this date 12 years ago, Behm and I said "I do". It has been a wonderful, loving, and short 12 years. Time flies when you're having fun!
