The best is yet to come!

I have thoroughly enjoyed each stage of my life, but I've got to say that these mid-life years are really, really nice. Thanks for stopping by to check on this Austin Nana. I like the real thing, though, so come on! Drop by for a coffee date with me sometime soon.

Peach Enchiladas

We are the lucky ones here in Austin. Peach stands from Fredericksburg. Yummy. 5 bucks a basket. So worth every cent.
I made this 'peach enchilada' recipe with apples...(long story) for the 4th. It was so good, even with apples. So, I'm making them tomorrow night for our small group.

Try it out and tell me what you think!

2 cans of crescent rolls
4 peaches, peeled and quartered
1 cup of butter
1 cup of sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1 12 oz can of sprite or mountain dew ( I used Sprite)

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Melt butter and add sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Unroll crescent roll dough and seperate on the perforations. Place a peach quarter in each triangle. Roll from large end to small. (If desired, after rolling, encase peach with dough by gently stretching and pinching dough together.)

Place rolled dough in a 12x10x2-inch baking pan. Pour or spoon butter mixture over all. Pour Mountain Dew (or Sprite) on top. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Serve as is or with ice cream. (This recipe can be easily halved.)

No MORE MOWING!!!

Even though I absolutely love yard work...I have to admit, like cooking after 30 years, mowing almost 30 years is really not as much fun as it used to be. I would much rather work on the occasional flower bed or flower pot and call it done. This yard does not look very big, but believe me...it's big.
For my birthday, William told me, "Get someone to mow the yard!"
So, we had talked about getting someone to mow a couple of years ago, but it was really just more money than we wanted to spend. Today I got another quote and it was almost half of what the first guy had said. I couldn't believe what a good deal he gave me. 3 guys/30-40 minutes later and this is what it looked like.
YES, YES, YES!!!


So, every Wednesday, we will come home to a freshly mowed, edged and swept yard. And every Saturday we will have nothing stopping us from getting on our bikes for that long ride we need.
