Hunting/Sewing

Ahh!  The Weekend our family has looked forward to for a long while!  The boys as they are going hunting in Tucumcari at Dad's parents ranch, while the girls are staying at home sewing, watching movies, and just plain ole enjoying each other! 

Thankfully everyone is feeling well and no one else has felt icky.  So, have a wonderful weekend- I am off to finish watching Bleak House!  (It is a story by Charles Dickens that Mom and I both read, so now we are watching the movie) 

~Rebecca

Prayers

Alright, now it is Sarah's turn to not be feeling well!!!  We must have had a bug going around.  :(  Yuck.  So please be praying that she gets to feeling better soon!!!! 

Be praying that everyone is feeling well by the weekend as the boys are going hunting, and the girls are staying home and having their "girl time".  No one wants to be sick then.

In Christ,
Rebecca

Pictures of Weaning

Here are some pictures from our weaning this year.  Mom was sick that day :(  which is why she isn't in the pictures.  We sure missed her. 
Yes, it is a long post of pictures, but I couldn't delete any!!! :)

The first two pictures are of Josh after he cleaned out our chimney.  :)  It has been so nice to have a warm fire going on cold evenings. 

Josh and Dad cooked us breakfast Saturday.  It was pretty good, too.

Feet!

Lady doing..... nothing.  Lazy dog...

That's all folks!

Anwered Prayers and a Tag from Lauren!

Howdy dear readers!

Thank you so much for your prayers. Becca is feeling MUCH better this morning and is her old chipper self. :-)

So, quite some time ago, Lauren over at Least in the Kingdom, awarded/tagged me with the Versatile Blogger award!  Thank you so much, Dear Lauren, for tagging me! I have always enjoyed reading your blog and encouraging words that you post. I glean so much from your modesty posts, biblical posts, and love all the pictures and stories about your life!

It comes with a tag as well, so here goes!

The rules:

You must tell 7 random fact about yourself, thank the person who gave it to you, and pass it on!

1. I love anything old fashioned. I have even ridden a cow (hey, some people used to ride cows.. who is that one character in the Andy Griffith show that used to get drunk and ride his cow down the streets? Can't remember his name... )

2. I HATE grasshoppers.  If any one wants to see me scream like a I don't know what and watch me run like the wind, hold a grasshopper in my face. lol! I am serious, but, um, don't actually do it, k? lol!!

3. I LOVE long comments! Either writing them, or receiving them.  Like Lauren, if I have nothing to write, I will just write random thing.. half the time it is practicing my cursive on a random piece of paper, or writing a length letter to someone I had just seen the day before!

4. In all the years I have been ranching, I have only been kicked by a calf twice, and never fallen off of a horse. Dad says I just don't have much experience yet.. lol!!

5. I don't wear shoes unless absolutely necessary. In other words, even in the dead of winter, I run around in bare feet on the cold floors. The only time I put on shoes on is if we are going somewhere, or I have to venture father than the front yard.... (or her Momma makes her.....posted by the Momma :))

6. I have a random reading habit. I read like 'crazy' (or my opinion of crazy.. I am sure lots of other people can read more than my 'crazy' and consider it normal! lol!) for about 2-3 months, and then I cannot pick up a single book for about a month. After that month I WANT to read a good book. It kind of feels like needing some water after running for a long time... yup, I know....

7. I am extremely random person. My letters, emails, posts, etc, usually have no organization to them. No flowing of subjects. I just jump from one to another, as most of you probably know (or as you saw in the random facts above..)!! Because I am so random, I absolutely love this tag! I love learning other random facts about different people.

Ok, I tag:

Samantha at Simple Delights!  Samantha is one of my dearest friends, although I have never met her. We have been pen pals for about 2 years now, I Think (right, Samantha??)...  Her blog is so lovely! I hope you go and visit and follow if you aren't already!  She has tons of fun stuff; events, pictures, posts about herself, fashion shows, and is even going to possibly host a recipe contest pretty soon!! I always feel so encouraged and uplifted after visiting her blog.

Martha Joy!!  I met Martha through our giveaway and am so glad I did!!  She has such a sweet personality and is fun loving and full of... Joy!!  Her blog is so very cheerful and she is always posting neat things. You'll need a Wordpress account to visit, but I highly recommend that you get one! You won't want to miss out on her blog On the farm with MJoy!

Johanna at An Old Fashioned Girl!  Johanna and I have only known each other for a few months, but already we have found out we have several things in common (like sharing the same birthday!).  Johanna is such a sweet, lovely, caring, gentle, and beautiful young woman of God! I love reading her blog. She has so many different kinds of posts. Daily life posts, pictures, bible studies, recipes, fashion show events that she is participating in, and so much more! I am sure that once you visit her blog you will want to visit it again! Johanna has encouraged me in my walk with the Lord in so many ways, and I hope she will encourage you too!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!! It is freezing cold at our house, so we have a nice roaring fire in our wood stove and kittens to snuggle with!! :-)

Enjoying the fall weather,
Sarah

Prayers please!

Howdy readers!

I would like to ask for prayers for Rebecca.  She was up last night sick and isn't feeling much better this morning.  She has slept for most of the day, which is good, and thinks she may be feeling a little better. However, please pray that she gets well and no one else around here catches it!

Thanks so much,
Sarah

We are here, we are here, we are here!!!

Ok, a little "Horton Hears a Who" humor.. lol!!

However, the Herd IS here.. we have NOT fallen off the face of the earth! :-) lol!  Actually, we just had a rather busy weekend weaning calves and preg checking cows.  Becca was out there snapping pics when she wasn't busy, so you can look forward to a better post coming soon.
 
I will let Becca share some of the exciting highlights (injuries that occured, cows on the freeway, etc) when she posts pics. :-) I must say, though, that I am rather dissapointed.  I got kicked right in the thigh by a 650lb calf. Yes, it hurt. The bummer is that my bruise is already fading away.  Ok, maybe most girls don't like battle scars (or as one friend put it "cattle scars"), but when something unusual happens like that, it is fun to have something to show, right? Well, I can't exactly show my bruise, but it is fun to 'say' things about it; how big it got, what color is was, etc.  Oh well!!  My dad saw the whole kick thing happen and he said there was a perfect hoof mark on my blue jeans before I brushed off the dirt. lol!!

So, is any one glad they couldn't volunteer? lol!!!

Hope everyone is having a good evening!

Your limping authoress (ok, I am not actually limping.. lol!)
Sarah

Busy, busy, busy!!

Howdy folks!!

Well, the Herd is startin' up on their annual busy season.  This here season comes 'round every year, been like that since I was knee high to a grasshopper.  Any hoo, we got them cattle all rustled up and shipped out to some other part of the county.  Yes, sir, Friday mornin' was a beautiful one, it was.  We woke up bright an' early, even afore the sun was up, to get things movin'.  While Ma, Becca, and I started rustlin' up some grub for the cattlemen, workmen, etc, them boys (our boys) were out pitchin' hay and getting ready for the big day.  People started arrivin' and coffee cups clinked as everyone gathered for a bit of chat before the work began.

    Now the sun is just startin' to peak over the hill.  It stretches red and gold fingers of warmth on the land and brightens the sky for a promising day.

    The men thank us for the coffee and breakfast cake, put on their hats, and jingle their spurs as they walk to their horses.  Now their off!!  Ridin' straight and tall towards the distant pasture that holds the cattle. 

    Ma and I start cleanin' up the dishes and get to work on lunch.  Green Chili Enchilada's, beans, sopapillas, salad, apples, and mint chip cookies!  We work all morning long baking, cooking, cleaning, washing.

    Soon the big trucks start to arrive.  12 semis lined up along our long driveway as they wait for their turn to get a load of beef. ;-)                 
                                                       

    As Ma and I just barely get lunch on the table, the men start comin' in. They wash up and sit down wearily, thankful for a hot meal after a long mornin's work. They have gathered all the cattle, weighed 'em, and loaded 'em into the trucks.
    As we finish eating, I can barely keep my eyes open. I sit quietly by while the men laugh, joke, and tell stories from their younger days.

   Now the meal is over, clean up has begun. While we children clear the table, the men continue their business talk.  Soon, all is over.  The men have gone.  We sit with grateful sighs and enjoy a moment of rest before supper prep begins!

     Yes, this really is how Friday was.  A neighbor rancher of ours leases some of our pasture for his yearlings. They stay there getting nice and fat for most of the year.  Then, on one day, they are gathered, weighed, and shipped to some place (probably a holding yard where they wait until it is their turn to be hamburger.. more than likely the patties you eat at McDonalds.. lol!)

   This time, however, we had a slight break. We were able to sleep in a little later and didn't have our usual morning service.  The men were late and had to get right to work, so they didn't have time for coffee and breakfast cake.  However, they did have lunch, and my that was a lot of work! lol!

   We also didn't have as many semis as we shipped quite a few yearlings out early.  So, this time we only had 4 or 5.  It was kind of sad not seeing all the trucks lined up! :-) That is one of my favorite parts! Next year I will have to get some good pictures.

    So, that is what the Herd has been up to!  Today is a nice resting day, tomorrow we will work around the place, and next weekend we will be working our own cattle.  Weaning calves and putting all cows into their respective winter pastures.

    Any volunteers? lol!

Well, off to clean and get the house ready for another weekend!

Hope ya enjoyed our lil' update. :-)

Happy Farm

Sarah found this "Happy Tractor" and told me to get a picture of it.   It is pretty cute. 
~Rebecca

Not a good time...

to view recipes!!!!  5 pm after a hard days work is NOT the best time to look for recipes!!!  I thought I would share a link for my new favorite recipe place.  http://www.recipe.com/!!

It has absolutely ALL the best recipes ever! One evening when I was totally out of ideas, I went online and found this. Our supper that night was super yum! lol!  You can even narrow your search to "hamburger" (all the recipes tha require hamburger), "pork", etc! It is great!

Any way, I was needing calzone dough today for supper. Poor man's pies! They are SOOOO good and cheap to make too!! Cabbage, hamburger, some swiss cheese, and mustard. We have our own hamburger, so we never have to buy from the store.  Cabbage comes from the farm for free, so it is a pretty good deal! Lots of mustard, though.. lol!!

Hope you all try it and let me know what recipes you find!

Love always, Sarah

PS don't those pictures look SO good!!! I am SOOO hungry!! ;-) =P

October

Can you believe it is already October? Wasn't it just spring?

Things are going well at the Heckendorns. We are getting prepped for shipping yearlings out, and weaning, tattoing and weighing the calves. The cows are looking good, too. The grass has been wonderful and they are slicked off. 

It is thundering and raining!! There is nothing like a rainy day to make you want to curl up with your family all around. We are all looking forward to winter with fires, cocoa, and cozy family time. Did I say I have a cat in my lap? Cats are such good lap warmers….especially when they are purring. I think a couple of us have sleeping cats on our laps. (It is raining outside so we felt sorry for them.)

We are all done with harvesting at the Schwebachs. It was such a blessing while we had it; but we are all glad to be done. It makes for some long days. Now it is getting ready to work cows.

 Our family is looking forward to the end of October. The guys are going to go hunting and the girls are staying home and sewing, quilting, watching movies, eating foods the boys don’t like.... The guys are taking some little bulls to Tucumcari to the bull test there. They will stay with my grandparents and hunt deer on their ranch.

These are pictures I took at the Market of some pumpkins.   Doesn't the first one look like an old man?

 

Blessings!

Rebecca

Thoughts??

Ok, I would like some feedback from our readers on this post.  I was thinking to myself how fun it would be to do some sort of contest.  So, as I was mulling around ideas and thinking about different things that would be fun, I came up with a brilliant idea (or one that I thought was brilliant!! lol!)

So, it is a writers/photographers contest.  I will randomly pick (out of those who enter) 10 participants (five photographers, 5 writers).  I will then randomly match up each of these (1 writer with 1 photographer).

We will somehow get each pair connected to each other via email or whatever.

Now the challenge.  Each pair will have until a certain time period (if I do this at the end of October, it will end the middle of December) to write the story and get pictures that correlate with the story (so, writers will write up the story, and the photographer will have to use some big creativity to get photos that actually work for the story (ei: if the story was talking about a tree, you wouldn't want to get a picture of a kitchen)).  However, the writer will also have to keep in mind that the story will need to be kept relatively simple so that modern day pics will actually fit into the story (in other words, don't write about great historical places if the person who is photographing for you doesn't live any where near historical places).

We could even have prizes, perhaps... lol!

Does all of this make sense??  So, what do you think?  I want to know if we would actually have enough people that would want to participate (I said 5 of each only if we ended up having lots of people enter.. we could do less, depending..)

If we end up needing one more author/photographer, perhaps Becca or I could fill in, but we will just see.

Any way, I would love to hear your thoughts on this!  You DON'T have to be a professional photographer to participate! Even if all you have is a digital camera, that works just fine. Same the author (esses) out there.
  It is just to have some fun, but also give the participants a little challenge.

Thoughts?

Love, Sarah

Pictures of the Kitties and Lady

I went outside with my camera the other day and had a fun time getting some shots of the kittens, cat and Lady (our dog).  It was fun to pick up my camera again, and love the photos that came out.  (OK, I always delete some of them, but that just happens..... )

Below is our lovely Lady

Here are all of our cats  

I had a lot of fun watching the kittens play and trying to wait and get some good shots.  It is hard to get animals to look at the camera, so I was pretty pleased with how the pictures turned out.  We have all enjoyed getting to have some kittens- instead of giving them away just when they were getting to the fun stage!!  They can purr too.....

Through His Redeeming Love,

Rebecca

The Winners!!!!!

Howdy folks! Step right up and listen as I tell who the winners are!

We had SO much fun with this giveaway! I was so excited about it that I had all the names written and tossed in the hat yesterday afternoon! 

First of all, thank you to all who entered.  I had such fun coming up with rules and whatnot and really enjoyed seeing the response. :-)  I think we will have to do more in the future, don't you agree??

Johanna!!!! Hurray Johanna!

Then, the winner of the surprise draw is....

Martha Joy!!!  I am so glad you won, Martha!!

Several people suggested that I do a coin purse as the surprise draw.. however, I never did get around to making anything, so I guess you get to choose! Something small that can be made fast so I can get it to you as soon as possible. :-)


Ok, so congrats to all of the winners! I just need you to drop me a note on this post with your email/mailing address.  Becca will need to talk to Johanna about choosing colors for her necklace, and Martha and I can chat about what she gets. :-)

I am so happy for all of you!! I know that several of you actually got what you were hoping for and just to let you know.. I didn't plan it at all.  However, I did pray before drawing each one, so there ya have it. :-)

Hope everyone has a great day today!  First day of our home school choir! I am really excited. I will be doing the piano accompaniment for the older choir as well as singing on a few songs.  It will be a new area to grow in. :-)

We hope to have future contests/giveaways so I hope you all will stick around and participate in those later on.

God bless,

Sarah and Rebecca

Long time need to post tag!!

Howdy friends!! Liz Darcy has been so very kind and has tagged me!!  I was SO excited to receive it. :-)  However, this dense headed person sitting at the desk was rather silly and didn't know which tag it was... Any way, Liz has been so very kind and has copied out the questions for me.  So, here goes!!

(1) Top 3 Authors: Hmm.... Well, I really like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George McDonald.  Or anyone who can write a good book!!

 (2) Top 3 male characters:  Well, I don't know!! I like SO many! Mr. Darcy  in Pride and Prejudice would definitely be one, then John Ridd in Lorna Doone, and male characters in my own books. lol!!!  Well, I do like Edmond in the Narnia series.. at the moment I can't much think of who else I really like! Oh, I know.  I love Malcolm McPhail in The Fisherman's Lady (McDonald)

(3) Top 3 female characters: Lizzy Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, Anne in Persuasion,

(4) Top 20 fictional books: The Fisherman's Lady and it's sequel The Marquis' Secret, A Daughters Devotion, The Landlady's Master (all of the afore mentioned are by George McDonald), Pearl Maiden, An Old Fashioned Girl (Alcott), The Reign of Terror, The Kingdom Series (6 in all.. if you have EVER wanted a book that had knights and ladies, this is a definite read!!! They are an Allegory of the Bible and I have read them a dozen times.. in fact, my brother and I have read them so many times that we had to buy new copies because the other was falling apart! they are by Chuck Black), Lord of the Rings (3 in all), Roses for Mama (Janette Oke), The Millie Keith series (I think there are 8 in the series and I believe they were written by the same lady who wrote the Elsie Dinsmore series. For those of you who loved Elsie, you will like Millie. For those of you who didn't much care for Elsie, you will LOVE the Millie Keith series!!!) Drums of Change (Janette Oke)

(5) Top 3 books most recently read: A Daughter's Devotion, The Fisherman's Lady, and I don't know what I read before that....

(6) 3 Worst books ever read: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.  DO NOT EVER read that book. Absolutely awful! If you are an extremely strong Christian, then read it with your family and have a good discussion.. other wise, steer away from it! I didn't much care for the Hobbit (which is like a pre thing to the Lord of the Rings series) that doesn't mean I hate it though... I can't think of anything else.  I don't just pick up a book lightly, so I don't usually read books that I end up not liking in the end.

(7) Top 5 scenes from any books: Any of the fighting scenes in the Kingdom Series, but particularly when one of the knights, after being captured, ends up pinned to the ground by a sword through his middle.  He has to struggle out of it and then fight the evil animals in order to escape. Second one would be when one of the knights is chasing after the evil men who captured the lady and then the battle that ensues afterward.. Third would be something in Pearl Maiden (which I can't say because it would give it away!!).  Fourth would be when Eomor (sp?) in Lord of the Rings finds his sister dead on the battle fields.  It is such a wonderful portrait of a brother's love for his sister and makes me cry every time I read/watch it!!! and Fifth would have to be a couple of battles in Lord of the Rings.

(8) The book(s) that made me cry the most: Lord of the Rings, The Kingdom series, House of Love (Lamplighter Publishing), Roses for Mama, The Sparrow and the Blue bird (I think that is the title.. written by Janette Oke).

(9) The books that made me laugh the most: Lord of the Rings, The Kingdom series, a few Janette Oke books, the Millie Keith Series

(10) The books that made me feel good the most at the end: Lord of the Rings and the Kingdom Series (can you tell I really love those books?!?!), Pearl Maiden, A Daughter's Devotion, the Millie Keith Series.

(11) Contemporary or Historical? Mostly Historical because I am a very old fashioned girl.. I can't really remember reading an contemporary books any way...

(12) Science fiction, Fantasy or Horror? I am not really sure what defines Science fiction or Fantasy, but definitely NOT horror!!!! a Good clean book for me,  please!

(13) Hardback, Trade Paperback, or Mass Market Paperback? I dunno.. I like hard back and paper back, both, but really, really old hard back books are my favorite!!  What in the world does Mass Market paper back look like??

(14) Barnes and Noble or amazon? Um, it would depend... preferably the library!!! I hardly ever buy book for myself, so I am not totally familiar with either. Probably Amazon, though, because it would more than likely be a whole lot cheaper!

(15) Bookmark or Dog ear? Book mark only!!!!

(16) Alphabetize by Author, Alphabetize by title or no organization whatsoever? Mostly no organization.. we kids would sometimes organize our books into groups of series and whatnot... other than that, don't expect much! lol!

(17) Keep, Throw Away, or Sell? I have only thrown one book away in my whole life, and I have never had more pleasure. lol! The picture of Dorian Gray. NASTY!! Other wise I like to keep or sell if I don't much like them.

(18) Little Women or Anne of Green Gables? Anne, definitely.. I have some rather humorous stories concerning myself after I read Anne of Green Gables, the whole series, so it holds fond memories! lol!

(19) Short Story or Novel? Both

(20) Stop Reading when tired or chapter breaks? Depends.  If it is good, I will stop in between chapters, if it is somewhat dull, I can bear parting with it in the middle of a chapter when I am tired of it.

 (21) "It was a dark and stormy night" or "Once upon a time"? Neither, but as they are just trying to get an idea of what I like... One dark and stormy night... lol!

(22) buy or borrow? Well, like I said, I don't much buy books. So, that means I borrow a lot. If there is a book that really strikes my fancy, then I will buy it. However, I usually hardly have any money to buy anything any way..

(23) Standalone or series? Series can be good things, but so are standalones... Depends, I guess!!

(24) Tidy Ending or Cliff Hanger? Well, if it is a standalone, then I definitely don't want a cliff hanger. However, if it is a series, I don't mind the cliff hanger... so long as I have the next book!!! LOL!

Ok, so, I tag:
Samantha
Rebecca (yes, that is you dear sis!)
Rachelle (I am making her save up for when she gets her blog... lol!)
Atlanta
Martha Joy

It is raining here!!! HURRAY!! I LOVE rain.. though, I got soaked in it earlier from rescuing the keys from the roof (long story!). However, that is ok. Romantic to get soaked in the rain, right? lol!!

I am just heading over to draw the winners to our give away, so be sure to check here tomorrow morning.  If I do get extra entries before the night ends, I will simply redraw. But, I am just too excited to hold off much longer!!

Much love to all!!
Sarah

button problems and a prayer request

Hello friends!

Ok, I have been having problems with our blog buttons.  One of the participants in our giveaway informed me that when she checked the button, it wouldn't work (once she had put it on her blog).  So, I have finally gotten around to fixing it.... I hope!

So, if you have put our blog button on your side bar, please check to make sure it works.. if not, please go and re-put it on your blog with the new address.  Hopefully it should work.  If someone updates our button on their blog, please let me know and I can drop by and see if it is working properly.

Thanks so much!  Hoping everyone is having a lovely day!

Oh, I would also ask prayers for a very dear friend of ours.  He had surgery this past week and is in a lot of pain.  Unfortunately it sounds like the pain medicine isn't working too well.  Please pray that God will give him peace and that he will feel comforted with God's arm's around him.  He has been so very patient and doesn't complain, I know, but it is still terribly hard.

Thank you!

Sarah

Update real quick....

Howdy friends!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!! I am sorry I haven't been doing very regular posts on here.. been rather busy! However, I will hopefully get you fully updated on what we have been doing this Summer.

Any how, just a reminder.. the giveaway ends THIS THURSDAY!!! So, don't forget to redmin your friends to enter if they want.  I can't wait to see what everyone wins, and I hope all of you are as excited as I am!! :-)

Well, wishing everyone a happy day filled with rest, peace, and joy.  I get to cuddle my little 2 1/2 yr old cousin who is arriving today from MD!!!  Of course I will be glad to see my Aunt and Uncle as well... lol!!

Love,
Sarah

Root Beer float Fix

Howdy there!!

Ok, I just figured up a *healthy* way to have a Root Beer Float! lol!!  Ok, perhaps it isn't *healthy* per say, but is is quick and easy!

So, put some root beer in a cup.  Next take some heavy cream, half & half, or milk (heavy cream or half &half works best) and add some to your root beer.  (you may need to add more later on after you have tasted it).  Now add a bit of vanilla.  Ta-da!!!  Super simple, super good!!

Why healthy, you might ask? Well, because Ice Cream has extra sugar in it, you get less sugar by using just heavy cream and vanilla, but it still tastes great!  Although, if you are the kind of person to hurry and drink your float before your ice cream melts, you may not like this.  However, I like to let my ice cream melt and then drink it all together. :-) LOL!

So, go and try it and let me know what you think!!

Also, drop me some dinner suggestions.. I am suppose to do dinner while Mom, Becca, and Josh are doing market, but I haven't the slightest idea as to what I should do!!!

So, what do you suggest???

Sarah

Horses

Since it was my day off, I decided to go ride Morgan.  It was nice to "be back in the saddle" again.  :)  Morgan probably didn't enjoy it as much- she is getting pretty old.  I brought my camera out with me and "shot' a  couple of horses.  

Morgan (below)
