Remember this? This is the metal clay pendant I made this summer, which then was taken back to California with my sister-in-law to be fired. She mailed it and Victoria’s earrings back to me. I waited for Victoria to come over for our final polish… The jewelry comes out of the kiln as bronze with…

Never Quit
We were blessed to have neighbors help us out the other day. Roper and Tina watch as the steer calves are loaded onto the semi. There’s always paperwork… They may have worked multiple hours for us, but the smiles didn’t ever quit.

Written by E. L. Pyle, Bigtrails, Wyo. In the “Hole-in-the-wall” Country. Several years ago we received a letter from one of mother’s brothers, O. E. Hoback, (then a blacksmith in a small western town) describing a hunting trip in the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming. It has so interested every one…
