Mr. H. and the children found this wonderful rooster for me!
Just right to hang my egg basket.

Come and Get It!
When supper's ready and I need to let the family outside know,I don't have to holler anymore!
My parents brought this bell to me this weekend on their first visit to our new home.
Having a rich family history, it first hung at my great-grandfather and grandmother's ranch in north Texas. It also hung in the two houses that I lived in growing up.
It now hangs proudly on our back porch. :-)

Anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives -
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true -
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you -
Be honest anyway.
What you may spend years building, someone may try to destroy overnight -
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some people won't understand -
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow -
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you’ve got, and it may never be enough -
Give the best you’ve got anyway.
Because you see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God –
It was never between you and them,
anyway.
I recently thought of this quote that I have had saved on my computer for years. It can be a good reminder on difficult days of what it's really all about.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 400°. Line muffin tins with paper liners. In large bowl beat eggs, gradually add sugar while beating. Continue beating while adding oil and vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt and baking soda. Stir dry ingredients into egg mixture alternately with sour cream. Fold in peaches. Spoon batter into muffin cups to 3/4 full. Combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in butter. Top muffins with crumb mixture. Bake 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in pan. Remove muffins and enjoy!
