We went to meet the puppy we will bring home at the end of the month today!
Meet Orange, an adorable 6 week old Vizsla poochie….
Don’t worry, her name is just Orange because that’s her collar color. Name is yet to be decided! Isn’t she so stinkin’ cute?!
I completely forgot to mention that I found the sofa that caused my heart to skip! And, apparently the noise I make when my heart skips a beat is frightening… my husband almost had an accident as we drove by the Salvation Army window.
None-the-less, I got the sweet couch with a matching chair for an amazing price! Sure the fabric is CRAZY! but I bought it for the frame and it is in excellent shape! Now I need to figure out what fabric to recover it with. I am still painting the room it is in, so the color scheme hasn’t hit me yet. Again… more on that to come!

We bought this 109 year-old beauty this summer….
my super-talented mom and her handy hub came up from the hot El Paso desert to make this…
look like this…
Thanks Mom & Ro!!
The rest of the house is still in-process of getting settled, but basically we just plan on painting and working on the landscaping this year. I hope to dabble in gardening next spring/summer too, so more on that to come!

I got this recipe from my friend Rachel to make for her cousin’s rehearsal dinner. Turns out I love the recipe and have made it almost weekly since then. Thought I would share it! Enjoy!
Berry Cobbler
1/2 c. room temperature butter
1 c. sugar
2 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
3-4 c. mixed berries (I use frozen that I let thaw out a bit, but fresh would be amazing!)
1/2 c. raw sugar
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer. When it is nice and light, begin adding the flour mixture, alternating it with the milk. Pour into greased 9×13 baking dish, then pour the berries all over the top. They might sink in spots and that is fine, do not stir it. Sprinkle the raw sugar all over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until the “biscuit” portion is set and top is slightly golden.
Serve with homemade vanilla ice cream and your family or guests will surely love you for life!
