Christmas Pom Garland

Our windows needed some Christmas sprucing up.

(on the cheap)

I've seen these all over the www.

So, i pulled out some left over yarn and got to pomming(verb? yes.)

and for some reason, we  have some green and red stockings...(thanks to whomever gave these to us/left them at our house/i stole them from)

they were in my christmas box and they are fun little spots of red and green in the house

so, my poms aren't perfect

luckily, i'm not "type a" and i dig the home-made look

or i'm lazy

does it really matter?

perhaps they'll stay year round.

Wordless Wednesday: Grace

I've tried to find a vocal comparison for Grace Potter. But, she so quickly can transition from beautiful, angelic soft singing to that piercing awesome scream. There are few I can find like her. I enjoy her voice. I like the Nocturnals. i dig it. I also wish i could wear bangs liker her, but (sigh) my face is too round.

I still want always wanted to be in a rock band. Grace is my inspiration for girls leading a rock band.

Thanks Grace,

Kate

How about them Commodores???

We headed on over to Jackson on Saturday to watch Ty coach his team to another State Championship!

2nd year undefeated class 4A Mississippi state champs!

Do you remember last year?

I was hoping the sign would be as good as last years?

Not quite...but it'll do.

See Coach Taylor? 

The guy on the bottom right, red shirt, pointing.

Yep! Go Ty!

Onlooking Taylor men. Garrett wouldn't smile. punk.

Go Commodores!

pretty afternoon for some foozball

See all of us? yeah, GT tried to lead the pack past security down on the field. 

Yah, right.

Guess who made it past the security?

yep, GT.

The rest of us? all got busted

Taylor boys

My travel buddies

Perhaps someday we'll be cheering Ty on to victory in a collegiate or professional atmosphere.

But, i sure do love me some high school football.

you know we Taylors feel about football

Thanksgiving week bliss

GT & I do the family swap for holidays.

This year, the Taylors have Thanksgiving and Kirbys have Christmas.

Next year, we swap.

Everybody gets some love

We love it. 

It's pretty wonderful that we enjoy the company of both families.

So, this Thanksgiving we were with the Taylors and it was perfect.

We started out by huntin' at their deer lease, Cut Off Mountain, in randomville, Tx

It was a perfect day...in many ways.

1. I got to sit in the stand with my hubsters

2. Garrett killed a deer (in a crazy hunt, too)

3. the weather was ahhhhmazing. crystal clear blue skies, perfect temp

who says a deer lease is a gross-man-stinkin'-deer-gut-funky-place?

beautiful!

4. Riding around in the ole trusty Bronco(or not so trusty actually) with no particular agenda

The F-I-L

COM is quickly becoming one of my favorite places

Then we headed on over to the grand-parents in Georgetown,Tx

It was a washer playing, coffee-drinking, hammock-laying, magazine-reading, football-watching kind of time with a lot of visiting, laughing, cooking.

Getting the kitchen ready to make Gilly-Gilly.

I'll post the recipe soon.

Grandma said she's been making it every year after Thanksgiving lunch since '73.

Our "little" portion of the Taylor clan

Luckily, we're not credited as the smart portion of the Taylor clan.

Christas card picture????

The weekend was equally wonderful.

We headed on over to Huntsville, TX for some time at GTs parentals

Garrett was working on making an Eastern mount of his newly killed deer head.

If you've never smelled a deer head boiling...it stinks.

GT serenaded us.

it didn't help the stank.

Saturday morning breakfast at Cafe Texan on the sqaure

slicked back hair and funnies

that's rite y'all

 

a perfect portrayal of thanksgiving football watching.

hook 'em apparently.

still full,

New Blog in town

Ok, not really a new blog.

A new design rather.

What ya think?

The idea was for a more clean, fresh face to ole GTT.

There are new buttons up above that you can just click on purty easily.
The blog archive, labels and other links are at the bottom of the page.
also, just hover over a word for the link.

Same pic, though. I just couldn't part with it.

It's a good look for us both.

Is it a good change?

Can ya find what ya need?

Enough questions for a early Monday morning, huh?

oops...another question. My bad.

Well, I hope you like the new look of Goodtimes

LMK if you have any tips, pointers, suggestions, question, rhetorical remarks, etc.

Gracias mi amigos!!

I'm out,

Kate
