Starting the holidays RANCH STYLE

Tis the Season

 for holiday fun!!

Thanksgiving Day

we gave thanks for 

our wonderful neighbors

Chip & Sandra

who included us in their

family Thanksgiving meal

So Fun!! So Yummy!!

Saturday morning we headed out

to Pearsall, Texas

to join our friends Allen & Janie

at their new barndominium

on the Sartain Ranch

I've often blogged on

their beautiful Villa

on the Comal River

in New Braunfels

(Enter Sartain on the search

tab on the right for my posts

on Villa Sartain)

Meanwhile back at the Ranch,
Allen had been dreaming of

building a second home there for years

And now, his dream has come true!!

  
The house sits on a bluff
overlooking the most incredible views

Allen spent a year designing

 and another year contracting 
the building of the barndominium 

Then it was time for Janie to put

her touch on the interior design

 Now that's ranching in style!

But wait....you haven't seen
the guest quarters yet

At the end of the hall is
an antique door that leads
 guests into their very
own space

 Janie is still working on this space
but being a recent guest I can say,
"It's already dang near perfect"

And you might ask.....

what do you do on a holiday 
trip to the Sartain Ranch.....

You begin by piling in the pick-up truck
and heading to town for some good old
Mexican food at Garcia's

Pearsall, Texas

 Next on the agenda-

We hop on Santa's
camo sleigh and take 
a ride around
the ranch

Stopping by the pond for
a little fishing

and ending our sleigh ride

on top of a hill watching the sunset

Later we enjoyed a little concert
by hubby & Janie

and before hitting the hay
we enjoyed a game of 
"chicken foot"

Allen was the BIG winner!!

Every Little Birdie says

 We loved our time on the Sartain Ranch
