Wimberly Market Days Booth 302 Remodel

Mr. Bob Bishop, our carpenter, did an amazing job on our both remodel located in Wimberly, Texas at Wimberly Market Days just a few miles outside of Wimberly town square on FM 2325.

  Originally, we had hoped to add a layer of fresh paint and repair the leaking roof.  As soon as Bob started to work on booth, we realized that additional remodels were required to complete the job.  The original flooring was covered with carpet and once that was removed, we found out that the plywood was rotted and eaten by termites. In order for Bob to install a new floor, he had to reframe the structure so he could raise and replace the flooring.  He also added some steps outside the booths new  side and rear entrance.

 Bob added trusses to strengthen the roof, removed and resealed all screws on rooftop, built a storage area with a ceiling and two doors.  He then installed two vintage wooden windows in two corners.  He also closed in two walls and added a door to rear wall.  He did a wonderful job and we are grateful for his expertise.  Below are images of the booths remodel and the first market day of 2014.
Wimberly Market Days is held the first Saturday of the month from March through December.  We are located just inside the third entrance at the corner of Lions Way and Wren Way.

  We would love to see you.  Safe Travels and God Bless,  Ory

You can see the two doors of new storage area in left rear of booth.


 We decided to build a storage area within one corner of interior booth to house goods rather than transport them to site each month.  The higher end product that will not do well stored in varying temperatures, is transported in each month.  We installed three new doors, two windows and a ceiling within storage area to keep out pests.  Remember, this booth is open to the elements.

Here are a few photos of the March, 2014 sale day!

Lemon Icebox Pie

Today I made a Lemon Icebox Pie. I got the recipe from a cookbook published for Katy First Baptist Church's 100th Centennial Celebration. Its a breeze to make and quite delicious with a warm cup of tea. Whenever I have the opportunity to squeeze fresh citrus juices and freeze them for later use I do so. I utilized the lemon juice I had previously frozen for this recipe. I cheated and used a store bought crust. Here is the recipe: 1 can condensed milk, 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, 2 egg yolks Mix all the ingredients on low speed with elec. mixer less than one minute. Put the ingredients in a precooked pie pastry shell(400 degrees for 10 minutes) and top with three egg whites whipped until light and fluffy. Whipped Egg White Topping: The egg whites should be room temperature and to the three egg whites you add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar and two table spoons of sugar. Mix the egg whites until they form peaks and the sugar is dissolved. Once you have added the egg whites f...

Commanders Palace

Cemetery across street from Commanders Palace 2008 Commanders Palace 2008 I spent a few years of my adolescence living on Washington Ave. in New Orleans on the same block as Commanders Palace Restaurant which was across the street from a cemetery. We used to play hide and go seek in the cemetery. I can still feel the horror as my brother would jump out of the empty grave sites and scare the living death out of us. Sometimes, I would travel to the Commanders Palace back patio entering through the open rod iron gates and the waiters busy setting the tables for the evening dinner would allow me to help them with the setting and placing the sugar bowls on the tables. The back patio was lush with tropical plantings and laden with ferns. The black iron dinner tables were covered with white linen tablecloths that cascaded to the brick covered floor. Along the perimeter of the walls the bricks were covered with a soft green moss that would glisten @ sunset. The walls held gas lanterns of bla...
