Softly call the Muster........

Thank you so much, Glitterinas,

 for opening this 

post of 

Pink Glitter!

I am sharing something very close to my 

family's heart today.

We lost our marvelous 

Papaw Jack last fall....



.....he is missed....

 .....but it's selfish of me to cry
over this loss because he is so happy in
Heaven and I love thinking about all his happy reunions there!




Several of our family members
have graduated from
Texas A&M University....

Papaw was the first!

Next came his son, my sweet husband....

then me....

our niece....

and our youngest daughter!

Whooooooooop!

A&M has a wonderful tradition that takes
place all over the world, each year,
where ever two or more Aggies can gather on April 21st....

Aggie Muster.

It's a ceremony to honor and remember
all the Aggies who have lost their lives during
the year.

There is a roll call of those who have passed,
and a friend and/or loved one who is
present answers "Here".

It's very moving whether you are answering for
a friend or loved one or not.

My sister-in-love and I attended the
Muster this year.....

......along with about three hundred others.

We had a nice, large high school multi-purpose 

area to use.

The Aggie Club Muster committee did a 

lovely job this year.

Each Aggie whose name was called had a family member 

or friend to answer for them.

Those who were answering were given a candle 

to light as their Aggie's name was called.

This is an extremely solemn and meaningful 

tradition for 

Aggies all over the world.

I have attended many Muster ceremonies,

and have only answered for two Aggies 

I've personally known......it's very memorable.

Whether you are an Aggie or not, if you ever get invited to 

attend Muster with an Aggie buddy, 

you should take the opportunity.

It's an evening you won't soon forget!

Thanks again for joining me here at 

Pink Glitter.....

I appreciate you letting me share this year's 

Williamson County

Aggie Muster with you!

Gig 'em Aggies,

Tammy

A New to Me, Old Door!

My sweet husband pulled an old,

dirty door out of a storage shed that was 

being cleared out.

He knew it was something I 

would love!

He got major brownie points 

for dragging this piece home for me!

Wash, wash, wash.....

scrub, scrub, scrub.....

ah, much better!

Here it is, leaning....

in the kitchen.

Jack is going to add a small table with 

two legs onto this.....

but until he does 

it's going to live in the dining room.

It's the perfect size for this space....

It got a pretty wreath hung on it....

.....perfect match!

Here's a shot from the other side of the room.

Until it becomes an old door with a small table 

attached to it....I like it right here!

I have such clever and creative friends who came up with 

many, many wonderful ideas of what to do 

with this piece!

I am so glad you stopped by 

Pink Glitter!

Thank you, Glitterinas, for 

letting me share this old door treasure 

with you.

Chippy door love,

Tammy

Big Ol' Carrots....

.....for a bunny that eats wooden carrots!

I made some carrots to stake in the area 

where we'll be taking Easter pictures.

I'm really looking forward to our 

big, 

loud, 

crazy, 

fun family

all coming to Five Gables Farm 

for Easter!

When we get together I love to take lots and 

lots of pictures.

I like having a special, designated 

place to take group shots.

Here's some shots from 

Easters past....

Our old well house makes a good backdrop.

I put up some colorful pennants, 

add a bale of hay 

or chair

or bench 

for a seat,

and this year 

we'll have carrots in the foreground!

I started with these wooden carrots 

that were cut for me by oldest 

grand~darling!

Her Mom and Dad helped a little.

They each got several coats of 

paint.....

.....and some accent lines to help them look a bit more 

like carrots.

Since these will be outside, they each got a spritz of 

polyurethane for weather protection.

I used some more of the tin curlies that were 

given to me...

......these got some green glitter spray 

paint!

Once everything was dry, the assembly 

of the parts began.

Finished carrots!

Husband will add stakes so they'll 

stand up.

A couple of my favorite inspectors 

came down to see the finished carrots.

Now I just have to wait until 

Easter to put them out.....

......waiting is hard, Glitterinas!

It's not hard to say thank you so much 

for taking time to let me share a project with you!

I really appreciate you taking time to 

read about my thoughts and look at the pictures 

I share.

Thank you so much!

Until next time,

Tammy

Crab Bombs

Ker-Blam!

These tasty little bombs are a 

delicious explosion of flavor in your mouth!

I enjoy crab cakes and have a great recipe for them....

but Husband and I really like 

these little yummies, too!

I'll gather up my ingredients 

while you fix a nice beverage and get 

comfy.

I'm off to the kitchen, Glitterinas.

Place one pound of crab meat into a 

mixing bowl.

Pick through the meat carefully for 

any little pieces of shell....

....you definitely want to find these pieces with your 

fingers instead of your dental work.

 Now I'm ready to add each ingredient....

one cup of crushed Ritz crackers.

A little more than half a sleeve will be about 

one cup.

Add crumbles to the crab....

and then, mix in a small bowl,

an egg,

1 tsp. worchestershire sauce, 

..... 1 tsp lemon juice,

......and 1 T. mustard.  Mix well and add to crab.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Stir well and drop rounded amounts 

onto a lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, 

or until crab begins to brown.

Remove from oven and place these yummy, 

little crab bombs on a serving platter.

Melt some butter....

......and pour it over the crab bombs.

Give the little, tasty bombs a 

hit of course sea salt.

One of my assistants showed up just in time 

to be the taste tester....

.....and help me carry these 

crab bombs out to the family 

sitting around the fire pit.

Sweet son-in-law was cooking hamburgers 

on the grill while we all sat and visited.....

and ate the crab bombs!

These little bombs are delicious....

I hope you'll give them a try!

Thanks for taking time to stop by 

Pink Glitter today!

It means so much to me that you 

take time to let me share part 

of your day!

You are the best, Glitterinas,

Tammy

Texas In Bloom

We have bluebonnets blooming 

in our yard!

When I see these small plants 

coming up....

.... sprinkled around Five Gables Farm.....

....I do my happy dance because they will 

soon have beautiful bluebonnets 

blooming on them!

Lovely ones like these....

......and these.

We have several big patches this year.

Our largest spot with bluebonnets is 

this patch out front.

So beautiful!

We have a large field across the driveway 

from the barns where we 

have some very fun parties.

We have

Fourth of July fireworks & sparklers.....

Halloween games...

Easter egg hunts....

and wildflower seed stomps!

The wildflower seed stomps have yielded these 

beauties....

Pink bonnets!

These pretties have had their picture taken 

several times already this season!

Aggie bonnets.....

aka. Texas Maroon Bluebonnets!

We really enjoy all these Texas flowers

that make their debut each Spring!

Texas has other colorful wildflowers, too!

Purple verbena,

maroon wine cups,

yellow, black eyed Susans,

yellow straw flowers,

red Indian paint brushes,

yellow and orange Mexican fire wheels,

yellow primroses,

and

pink buttercups 

are all part of the rainbow of wildflowers 

we are lucky to enjoy here each Spring!

What wildflowers do you enjoy, Glitterinas?

Tell me which ones you like

or

have blooming near you.

I am so glad you took time to read this post 

of 

Pink Glitter......

Thank you!

Until next time,

Tammy
