Peach Cobbler....

My great grandma ...big mother...
(that's what we all called her)
made the best peach cobbler I have ever eaten!!!!
I have not gotten mine to taste like hers but I am getting closer and closer...
practice makes perfect...
First I start out with fresh Hedley Peaches!!!
(I put peaches up in the freezer so I can have them all year round)
2 cups peaches
You will also need....
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 dashes of salt
2 cups sugar
2 cups milk
(last time I tried half and half and it made it very dry... so I say stick with milk)
2 sticks of butter

side note: check out my new super cute measuring cups!!!
($1.97 at walmart!!!)

I grease the pan with the butter wrapper...
then in a separate bowl mix everything up...
pour into greased pan...
then place peaches on top of the batter....

about 5 minutes before its done I sprinkle sugar on top!!
cook on 350 for about 30 minutes...
(keep an eye on it...)
Take out and enjoy with your sister... mom... grandma...
or just with some ice cream and a good TV show!!!

Sand Fest 2010

This past weekend we went to Little Sahara for
Sand Fest 2010
Angie picked me up Thursday night and we headed up!
Donny had went up 2 days earlier to
"get a good spot"
which he did!!! Corner spot with lots of room!!!
He had, had a couple of things go wrong while he was there...
our new tent was missing a key piece of equipment...
but donny rigged it using a tent stake!!
very macgyver!!!
and then he ran into a post that by the way was 2 1/2 feet off the ground
and in a terrible place... but whats one more dent on
the old pickup...
(seeing as how i dented both sides in a wreck)
but we were gonna just ignore both incidents and have a great time!!
As angie and I were leaving clarendon this was what we saw behind us!
Hail Clouds!!!!
But thankfully in the distance was pure sunshine!!!
We got there about 11:45 on Thursday...
Then woke up bright and Early to some
LOUD kids that got the spot next to us...
Good Morning Baby Doll!!!!
But the Flag was flying
and we knew it was going to be a great day!
(love the wolf!!)
We rode a little bit... there were so many people riding
I got kinda nervous...
I kinda almost rode right in front of 7 guys that were racing...
So after that I mostly hung out at the camp site!!
and looked at this sand rail that was right across from us
(I would love to have one... or even a razor!!!)
Kathleen and mike got there late friday night!
they got everything set up and were ready to have
a great weekend!!!
Mike got a new 4 wheeler and was ready to ride!!!
and so was kathleen!!!
I was so proud of her for going out on the busiest
weekend of the year and tearing it up!!!
(i tried to get a picture of her riding off but she was too fast!)
We even had some tunes!!!
(with the help of "key stone light")

Then saturday night it got a little redneck....
Keith danger and billy ray came out to play!!!!
Side note: like 2 minutes after they were fully dressed
they were walking out to the road and a truck drove by
and slammed on the breaks and a guy jumped out...
he asked if he could take there picture next to jeremys quad....
so the boys posed... and then they guy was and i quote
"that will be in the magazine"..... hold up ... what?!?!?!
and he was for real he works for sand sport magazine
and he got his recorder out and took there names and everything!!!
so look for the boys in sand sport!!!! crazy!!!
Us girls had to have some fun too!!!
Then they decided that they had to ride!!!
I didn't go out but I heard that they raced a little...
and tore it up alot!!!
Popped some wheelies!!!

And posed for some pictures!!!

On the way back to camp there was a accident...
donny stoped on a hill and his quad started to flip backwards...
so he dove off...
and the quad flipped 2 times...
in the flipping it broke the steering rod...
but donnys ok!!!
But it didn't stop the boys from having a great time that night
and I think they made alot of people laugh with there costumes!!!
So final thoughts on the weekend...
Missing tent part $5.00... Dent in the pickup $500.00...
Broken steering rod $250.00...
Dressing up like a redneck and ending up in a magazine... PRICELESS!!!!
WE HAD A GREAT TIME WITH GREAT FRIENDS!!!
