Well, I made it!!! And better yet my sister and my niece, Binky and Kate, were accepted, too. This is going to be one exciting trip. The luncheon will have 35 of us with Rachel Ashwell at her new B&B. You can preview it on http://theprairiebyrachelashwell.com/ It is so beautiful. After the luncheon and tour then that evening we get to go shop her new Shabby Chic Couture Shop. Going to be quite an adventure. Will keep you posted as we get ready to take this trip. We then come back and blog the event. Winners get great prizes from The Pie Man, Bud Royer! Those of you who have been to Round Top know all about Royer's Cafe. Let me know if there's anything you want me to try and find for you while we are there.
Great House
Sunsets, Stars, and R&R Also, enjoy my collections of food, wine, and design links and blogs that I love.

Shabby Chic at it's ULTIMATE!
Lunch On The Prairie
Here’s your opportunity to meet and have lunch with Rachel Ashwellat her amazing new Bed and Breakfast, The Prairie by Rachel Ashwell, in Round Top, Texas. OMG. What an opportunity. I have sent in my RSVP as fast as I could. Everyone pray and cross your fingers that I could receive this opportunity. My sister, Binky, and I did this show together once, but I did it many times by myself. We had just made plans yesterday to go this year. We also talked about Rachel Ashwell's new B&B in Roundtop, as I have one in Fredericksburg. I will keep you posted.

Summertime Food
It's nice to lighten up and enjoy what's fresh. However, I have a staple at the Lazy T that is good anytime of the year. So I am going to share my favorite granola recipe. It is so easy to make and change to suit your taste or allergies. It makes a good snack, too.
Makes 6 1/2 cups, serves 12 (not at my table)
3 c. old-fashioned oats
1 c. slivered almonds
1/2 c. coconut
1/3 c. honey
1/4 c. canola oil
1 c. dried cranberries
1.2 c. dried banana chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Stir together oats, almonds, coconut, honey and oil in a large bowl.
Spreak in a rimmed baking pan and bake until oats are golden (about 30 minutes). Stir often to prevent sticking.
Remove from oven, let cool, then stir in cranberries and banana chips. Store in airtight container after completely cooled.
Substitute the fruit or nuts to taste or for variety.
Enjoy!
Coming up next is about being a first time Bed and Breakfast guest! Answers to many questions I receive.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", Leonardo Da Vinci
A home cooked meal, a comfy bed with great linens, bright stars and brilliant sunsets, peace and quiet, or exhilarating conversation. It's pretty simple. No themes and gadgets; no silly names and come-ons. Life at the Lazy T is simple and sensible. Life in Fredericksburg is the same way. I ran a few errands the other day and when I came home my average MPH per my car was 20!
Baking brownies, coffee cakes, and pouring wine for new found friends is a great way to live. It's like throwing a party many days a week. Someone asked me if I had made any friends in FBG, I answered yes, at least 10 a weekend. My world expands greatly guest by guest.
