I’ve been blogging for over 12 years. Many of you have watched my boys grow up, on this blog, through my reflections in words and photos. I realized the other day that I have not shared anything new about any of my boys in a long time. As loyal readers, you’ve also become family. So today, I’m catching you up on the Falcon family!
My oldest son, Tyler, is working in the Texas panhandle. He’s doing his cowboy thing and loves it. I always knew he would stay in that work field, even though he did try welding and the oil field for a while. I’m glad he returned to his roots because I know that’s the only thing that has ever made him truly happy.
He has one dog and lives in a town that consists of much of nothing. I wish he’d move closer to home but I guess my hands are tied at this point. He does turn 27 this year, after all. 
My youngest, Truett (aka Tank), is 13 now. His nickname is Tank because, for a 13-year-old, he’s a big stout boy. Most people think he’s much older or asked if he failed a grade. Neither is true. He’s in 7th grade. He started school a year later since his birthday is late fall, after the cutoff date. He hates when people ask if he failed a grade. “I’m just a big guy for 13″…… He’s at the age where he thinks he knows it all, doesn’t like me to take photos anymore, and stays in his room a lot. -.- He opened his first checking account this year and has been working some on the ranch. He loves gaming, football, fishing & outdoors, and music. He’s counting down the days until he can play football this upcoming 8th-grade year.
And now my middle son, Toby. I saved him for last because so much has changed. In the last 2 years, Toby has graduated college from Abilene Christian University, applied for the police academy, and found the love of his life. After a lengthy & extensive application process, he was accepted into the Texas A&M police academy and has since graduated from that program. He is currently a police officer, in College Station, with Texas A&M.
During this time, he met and fell in love with a beautiful young lady. Toby and Savannah will be getting married on July 25th, 2020. We are blessed to have such a wonderful person added to our family and look forward to their future together.
Finally, me and my cowboy celebrated 27 years of marriage this year. We spend a lot of time on the ranch. We’re always busy working or taking evening strolls on the ranger. My husband is still the ranch foreman of the Double M ranch and me…well, I’m still blogging.
So what’s happening in YOUR life?
Well this is my first time at 70 yrs young that I have ever read a blog or replied to one. But, I wanted to tell you how blessed you are to have such a beautiful family. From what I was reading and seeing this could make a fantastic Hallmark Movie and your family could be that stars. They are all just gorgeous. Thank You for sharing it with me. I always liked to read your recipes but I am alone now. I do my church with Dr. Jerimiah and Dr. Jeffress. Then I throw in some Joel for good measure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my day. Stay blessed and take care of that family.
Hi Lori, my mom’s maiden name is Falcon. Her father was Marvin Falcon from Nacogdoches. I’m working if our families are related in some way?
I added a little feta cheese to mine and it was excellent. It was a big hit with the family. I have a big garden this year and I’ve done a lot of canning. I seen your recipe just as I had decided not to can anymore it was just what I was looking for to finish up with the vegetables. Fresh crisp and a winner!! I’m in SC I have a wonderful family we’ve lived on our family cattle farm for over a hundred years my great granddaughter coming the 26of this month will be a fifth generation. Thank you for sharing your family and recipes.
