When I was just a youngster back in the 1960s I used to spend a couple of weeks each summer with my grandparents that lived in Jollyville, Texas. Jollyville was a hole in the wall between Leander and Austin, at that time it was the only thing between Leander and Austin. It has long since been swallowed up by Austin and few remember what it was like back then. It was a small community with only one store and gas pump called Hill’s Store. I can remember going to the little store which had a small meat case and getting lunch meat sliced. Sometimes my grandparents bought Olive loaf which I hated or bologna which was ok. Other times they would get Salami or Spiced Luncheon meat. They always had it sliced thin. I liked the Salami the best, the Spiced Luncheon meat had a good flavor but was greasy which I assume was because it was made from fatty meat trimmings. I came up with a recipe that reminds me of the old time lunch meats we had sliced at Hill’s Store but I know what goes in this one. I also can slice this as thick as I like for a sandwich. I think you would enjoy this version and it is not that hard to make. Spiced Salami Lunchmeat 10 pounds of ground meat about 20 to 30 percent fat 2 level teaspoons pink cure salt 4 tablespoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons black pepper 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon ground allspice ¼ teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon mustard powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 2 teaspoons brown sugar ½ cup powdered milk 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke 2 cups cold water Mix all dry ingredients together very well. Add the liquid smoke to the 2 cups of cold water and mix all of the dry ingredients into the water until dissolved and mixed well. Once well mixed pour water with spices over the meat and mix until the ingredients are equally distributed though the ground meat. Place meat mixture in the refrigerator, cover and let cool for 12 to 24 hours to let the cure work and the spices blend together. After at least of 12 hours in refrigerator stuff into casings. (I used the jumbo red casings for bologna and lunch meat available online and some sausage supply companies. I bought mine from Lem Supply Co. online. These casings are about 4.5 inches in diameter and perfect for sandwiches.) Soak the casing in warm water for about 30 minutes before stuffing. Add more cold water if needed to the meat blend to help with stuffing the casings. If you use the large fibrous casings you do not even need a sausage stuffer. Just spoon in the meat and squeeze down the casing until tight and plump then ring or tie off the end. Once the casings are stuffed you can cook them in a smoker or oven, I like somewhere between 225 to 275 degrees. Slowly cook to 155 degrees internal temperature. When internal temperature is up to 155 degrees place in ice water bath for about 15 minutes to prevent shrinkage. Slice and enjoy.

This is a portrait of a Florida Panther / Texas Cougar mix in captivity near Orlando Florida. This cat lives with his sister and they are used for educational purposes since they cannot be returned to the wild. A few times each year we travel from Fort Myers to Orlando with our trailer. We spend a long weekend near a local rookery that also has Alligators and this pair of Big Cats. They have the cats in order to educated the public on the plight of big cats, and these two cannot be released back into the wild. They are beautiful animals and I have yet to see one in the wild, but am grateful to have the opportunity to at least see these cats and was able to capture a few nice moments, even though captive moments.

Wild Texas Stampede!, The After her father leaves for Austin, Texas, Ima Hogg is left in charge of their unique farm and taking care of her mischievous little brother. Author: Margaret McManis Illustrator: Bruce Dupree Publisher: Pelican Publishing Company Date: September 1, 2008 About the Author Margaret McManis, a former children's librarian, serves as a guest lecturer at schools, museums, libraries, and bookstores. She has written two other books for children; Ima and the Great Ostrich Race and Ole! Cinco de Mayo. Ima Minds Her Little Brother Ima Hogg's father was a 19th century governor of Texas. He had to travel to Austin for the election, so he left Ima in charge of "minding" her little brother, Tom. They lived on a ranch with many exotic and unusual animals. Ima took her responsibility very seriously and was determined to keep her brother in line while her father was away. Tom liked to "bother the buffaloes, outrage the ostriches, and panic the pachyderms." Ima was at her wit's end when Tom caused the animals to stampede and put their safety in danger. She knew she had to do something to get Tom to leave the animals alone. Ima came up with a "sticky" plan that would keep Tom away from the animals and out of danger. My Thoughts This is a historical fiction story based on the lives of a real Texas governor and his family. The author included a page at the end of the book that tells about the real Governor James Stephen Hogg and his delightful family that included Ima and her four brothers. Since their mother died when Ima was thirteen, she was often left in charge of her younger siblings. Ima's father knew that he could trust her to take care of Tom while he was away. Ima was up to the task. Her little brother was "all boy", but Ima came up with an ingenious idea to keep him out of trouble until their father returned. Children will notice the loving care that Ima gave her brother...even when she was angry with him! The antics with the animals will have children laughing out loud. Can you imagine a stampede of buffaloes, ostriches and elephants? The full-page color illustrations complimented the text and added a great deal to the enjoyment of this book. This book makes Texas history fun and will have children begging to learn more about Ima Hogg and her family. The book is perfect for read-aloud to young children or independent reading for more advanced readers. Highly recommended! My Rating: 5 Stars Out Of 5 FYI ~ I checked out a print copy of this book from my local public library. Please share your thoughts in the Comments Section below.
Memorial Day sometimes brings a crop of Agarita berries. Lots of work to pick and clean them, but makes the wonderful jelly you may remember from the days spent with your grandparents. Spread an old sheet around the base of the bush and hit the bush with a cane or cedar stick. This is the easiest way I have found to harvest the berries. Mike Thomas Whether the end result is jelly, syrup or wine it will be a sweet taste of the Texas Hill Country. Take some thick gloves as the bushes are very sticky, an old sheet, parachute or even an umbrella to place under the berries and beat them off the bush with a stick. Clean out all the trash, cook them down and squeeze out that wonderful juice. Recipes abound on the net so just take your pick and enjoy the harvest. We use the one on the Pectin box for berries. Leave a few for the birds and other wildlife if you can, Wild Ed

Cactus- One option after coloring is to give students small rectangular pieces of construction paper to glue to the cactus for the spines. Another option instead of coloring would be to use different colors of tissue paper to glue to the cactus. Check out my Texas themed worksheets: Texas Worksheets Wild West Logic Puzzles
