We might have a problem on our hands. It was a given that Ree was going to think Ava was pretty cool. Ava IS pretty cool. What we didn’t expect was for Ava to think Ree is pretty cool. Now don’t get me wrong. Ree IS pretty cool…it’s just that I’m not sure how well the final departure is going to go come Monday.

Dogs have come up to visit us a couple of times and that’s just fine with us. Especially when they’re sweet ones like YoYo and Hooker.

Aww…Hooker. What a little tramp she is. Seven litters so far and the poor girls nipples are dragging the ground. Hooker’s still a looker though.

Last night we were privileged with the opportunity to go to the Pawhuska Variety Show @ The Constantine. Ree’s girls, Alex and Paige were one of the performing acts and they did great. It was a good time for sure.

This morning I woke up around 5am to catch the sunrise. I stood outside thanking God for this awesome gift my family and I are partaking in and shivered myself warm as the sun came up.

Make sure to check in on www.thepioneerwoman.com/cooking as we’ll surely be cooking up something interesting. Blessings. Love Wins. All that.
