Time in Texas

I am here!!! Yeah!! Great weather followed me. We have enjoyed sitting outside in the back yard for two days...rain is forecast for the next couple of days...so we are taking advantage while we can.
Remington has been a very hospitable fellow and seems to like me. Hopefully he will still like me when Mom and Dad disappear to the hospital in a couple more days. We will get some good "granding" time together (grandma with grandson).
Rem is a natural with a shovel, a good look in to his future on his Dad's dream farm.
There is always good food to be had while visiting in Texas. As a birthday surprise for Keith, Papa Frank made and sent a big batch of Christmas Eve-style fish sauce. It traveled well in its frozen state in my suitcase. All we had to do was thaw, heat and eat...yum-yum. It was a well received surprise!!
Check out this fabulous looking and incredible tasting Carmel Apple Pie that Keith made!! Just fill the pie crust with Granny Smith apples, add the lattice top and pour on a homemade carmel sauce and bake. Served with Butter Pecan ice cream it was indescribable!!!
When the time is right (Rem is not napping and the doggies are outdoors) Keith takes time to practice on his bagpipes. (They are a "little" noisy.) He is getting real good and is able to practice most of time on an electronic chanter using head phones. Well done, son!! Take a minute to listen to this short clip.
