Happy Girl
My help was requested this morning, so I found myself driving the tractor and even pitching a little hay. It was a VERY nice morning... in the 20's... so that means 50 degrees warmer than the other day!
Plus, driving the tractor also means *heater* and *radio*.
Koosh life.
<How do you spell koosh? cush? whatever.>
After that was all over, I returned to the house, where Daniel, done with his feeding as well, informed me that Johnny told me wrong... his flight for his vacation left 2 hours earlier!
YIKES!
No time for a shower... just freshen up and try to brush all the hay out of my hair!
Vernon has a cold and didn't feel like going... so Johnny and I soon headed out to Worland, the closest airport.
It's a tiny brick building, half of which has been devoured by TSA machines and roped off areas.
The smiling girl behind the counter asked if we were flying out on the afternoon flight... Yes, sweetheart, that's why we're packing bags in here! "Sorry, but that flight has been cancelled!"
Really.
Gee.
Guess what?
When airplanes land and get flat tires... they can't fly until some trucker hauls them a new tire from a different city! Somehow I found that extremely funny!
But the options were... wait and fly out Saturday...
or...
drive to Riverton (an hour and a half further down the road) and catch a flight out of there!
Guess which one we chose!
That's why I'm just humming along... been on the road too much!
But... that gave me the chance to try to buy some curtains... we'll see if I like 'em... plus, best of all, I bought a bucket of Kentucky Fried!
I love Kentucky Fried.
Original.
Sticky chicken.
If you wanna make me happy when you come visit, bring me a bucket! And some cole slaw. I'll take the potatoes and biscuits too... I'll toast up those cold biscuits and have 'em for breakfast! With sorghum. YUM.
I guess I just live too far from the Colonel and somehow it's just developed into a Big Treat for me.
I'm a Happy Girl!
and tired.
Here's this morning's picture...
One of our bulls and some of our cows head to their respective feed grounds under the rimrock.
Last call for Questions! I'll answer them tomorrow!

Oh goody, I didn't miss the question and answer. I've been out of town in sunny Georgia, missing the Midwest blizzard.
My question.....I love all you photos and I am looking for a new camera. I have dropped mine one too many times and it died. I would really like a really good camera, but for now I want a good point and shoot that I can carry in my pocket or purse. I would like a good zoom for close ups of flowers, etc. What kind of camera do you use, Carol? I know you posted it before but I am too lazy to look for that post. One that is rubber encased would be perfect, lol!
Always enjoy your postings. You are such a REAL person. I feel like I have known you all my life.

Isn't it nice to be excited and pleased by a simple thing as KFC? Have a good day Carol.

Do you enjoy flying or do you just tolerate it? I'm one of those who love flying. Well, the take-off & the landing part. The rest is boring, but at least it saves you a bunch of time compared to driving.

I thought it was hysterical when my flight out of Riverton was cancelled because they needed a mechanic to fix the plane and he had to come from Cheyenne; I think he was driving but he could have been flying. flying to or from Wyoming is always an adventure, I have discovered.

What are the TSA machines at the airport, you spoke of?
Nice winter picture of the rimrock. Does it shelter you at all from snow?

Just the humongous xray machine and conveyor, yes, conveyor belt. Then the glass partitions and roped off area. All this for the twelve passenger prop planes that serve Worland. It probably helps with the wind... but since the fields etc are at creek level... you can feel the cold as you drop down into the area below the rimrock.
