Well, this doesn’t really qualify… but I’m leading a book discussion on January 15. The book is First White Woman in the Big Horn Basin by Paul Frison. Imagine being a lady’s maid in 1883, traveling to the Far Western Wilds of Wyoming, falling in love with a cowboy… marrying him, then living the rough…

Wordless Wednesday : “They Were Tough”
They Were Tough
Badlands Snow
I rode with the guys on their rotation day to open water for the cows in the badlands pasture. We take turn with other ranchers in the allotment. Wyoming was hit with intense cold and a blizzard the day before, so this trip could be interesting. The little two track road was often drifted in,…
Happy New Year
From our family to yours… Happy New Year! And Happy New Year’s Birthday to Vernon! How blessed we are!

Moving Guys
