Thoughts of a Mom: July 2009
http://happylaurasthoughts.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. The exciting thing in this picture is not the broccoli (although it has a nice flavor). The exciting thing is the okra in the basket. I realize it isn't enough for a meal, but the kids and I are frying it today anyway. We have been patiently (or in my case impatiently) waiting for it ALL summer. This year has been a strange one for our garden. The summer started out unseasonably cool- good for broccoli and Sadie's third grade cabbage. No, but there is always next summer. I just fi...

Thoughts of a Mom: September 2009
http://happylaurasthoughts.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. These pictures aren't great (remember, I want a new camera- this would be one more reason why). But, I thought they were cool. I took them the other evening when I was helping Mom get vehicles situated. I guess we were about 3 miles from town. During WWII, which is a whole different post. Sunday, September 27, 2009. Mom has been busy sowing wheat- we plant winter wheat. My sister wanted me to post a few pictures of the process. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. I took these pict...

Thoughts of a Mom: December 2009
http://happylaurasthoughts.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Here are the last of my "Happy" shots until I have time to get to town and take some more. We have several historical markers around town, which I think will be fun to share. My sister has posted some of her pictures from our stroll around town on her blog. I liked reading what she remembers from our childhood. This is the Brooks Memorial Chapel. It used to be the Presbyterian church. It's the church where my brother, sister and I were christened. It's now owned by Attebury.

Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Our hotel burned Sunday. It was an old building, it had not been used as a hotel in years. When I was a kid, an antique. Store was there briefly. The building was old and in disrepair. That being said, it was our building, a part of our town's history. Once upon a time, people spent the night there. Perhaps they enjoyed a meal in the cafe, bought groceries from the store there or even got a haircut and a shave. I like to think that we may live in one of the few places that st...

Thoughts of a Mom: October 2009
http://happylaurasthoughts.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 24, 2009. As much as I hate to admit it, it is that time of year- time to get out the Christmas list and get busy shopping. This year, a new event is happening that should solve some of your gift dilemmas. You can go to the Cowboy Christmas Roundup right here in Happy. Think about how cool it will be to shop locally. You'll save gas and support local businesses and crafters. There's a link on my sidebar for more information. Hope to see you on November 14-15! Sunday, October 18, 2009.

Thoughts of a Mom: June 2009
http://happylaurasthoughts.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Sunday evening, after a hard day of work in the garden, curiosity got the best of me. I've been wondering. Just exactly how the potatoes are doing and how big the onions are. So, I dug a few potatoes and pulled a few onions. Monday, June 29, 2009. Last year I found this recipe for Warm Zucchini Bread. On Food Network's site. It is by Emeril. I made a few changes- pecans for walnuts and omitted the lemon zest. The kids and Nonnie. Friday, June 26, 2009. Remove the solid part (curd)...

Thoughts of a Mom: November 2009
http://happylaurasthoughts.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. In the tradition of the season, I'm going to take the opportunity to list a few things for which I am thankful. My family and our health. We live in such a great community- not many kids get to participate in a Thanksgiving feast at school and actually give thanks before they eat. The zoo- T.S. found one place the chickens have been laying, so he got to throw the old eggs at the tree. Somehow he ended up with egg on his socks and shoes. Labels: small town living. The craft sho...

Thoughts of a Mom: May 2009
http://happylaurasthoughts.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. This was on our back porch this morning:. It was a baby rattlesnake. (The way I cropped the picture sort of makes it look larger than it was.). I heard the dog yelp and went to see what it was. They cat was smelling the snake. Robby got a shovel and took care of it. The poor cat didn't have a clue what it was and kept trying to play with it after Robby cut off the head. I should have laid it over the fence belly. Up; that is supposed to bring rain. Monday, May 25, 2009. It is a ti...
