Tomorrow the carpet is to be installed. And it seems like there are a million tiny details that have to be tended to.

I'll even have a couple of weeks to myself. That should be interesting.

Moving does not sound like fun, though. Been there, done that. Just take figuring out where to put everything.<br />And I doubt I'll be making these very often. It's just the special occasions. Then again, I do like them, and would enjoy keeping a few in my freezer.

And your life is in proper tailspin right now but I'm so proud of how well you handle the whole thing!<br /><br />Texas women rock!<br /><br />I love the table setting. Lovely. And it's funny that I used burlap tablecloths in the book I just finished for Christmas... With bits of lace and fall veggies and Mason jar candles. I love that vintage shabby chic look! Less fussy than Victorian and so much more fun!<br /><br />Awesome, Mindy!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-54326320586303122212013-06-18T12:15:24.757-04:002013-06-18T12:15:24.757-04:00These looks so delicious!!

Probably watermelon and a creamsicle, hahahaha!<br /><br /> Your daughter is ADORABLE! That looks! So funny!!<br /><br />And Eagle Scout?? My brothers were both Eagle Scouts, it's awesome! <br /><br /> I hope you take a really, really long vacation when you get time. I'll cover your Tuesdays. YBC can have a double dose of Pioneer Fresh recipes.

Collapse? Take a trip to Maui? Hide in a closet?<br /><br />I can't believe the list of things you've done in the last few weeks! I've done a few of them (no weddings yet), but the Eagle Project alone put me out of commission for three days -and I didn't even do any of the work!<br /><br />But, oh wow, those scones! You had my attention at butter and cream.... I have to make these. Soon.<br /><br />And thank you for the tutorial on how to use the vanilla beans! I wouldn't have the first clue about how to proceed, otherwise. But if I'm in a hurry and don't have any beans, do you think I can substitute vanilla extract? I know it won't be the same, but it would still be good, right?Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-9683154827731450902013-06-18T10:24:06.119-04:002013-06-18T10:24:06.119-04:00YUM!!

You are superwoman!<br /><br />LOVE scones too, but I only ever make them about once a year. Usually for the volunteer breakfast at school. Sigh. Scones. Strawberry jam. Clotted Cream. An English hero....<br /><br />I'm getting ready to close two school libraries. One of them is being painted so I have to pack a chunk of the books up so they can move the shelves to paint. That's the riveting stuff I'm up to this week. Not scone pretty.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
