Ugh. I am so tired. I can tell I’ve been sitting in town for 2 months! Flailing through the snow and mud yesterday, my legs were sore. Today I drove the tractor a bit for feeding… then drove a 4 wheeler through snow to bring the heifers to the corral… hiked back and forth in…

I’m Back… and There was No Axe-ident
I’m back home! Again, thanks to all of you and your prayers and best wishes and condolences. Though the loss of my mother has left a major hole in my life, my older brother and older sister and I are doing well. We spent the past few days going through much of mom’s belongings. Rediscovering…
I’m Off Again…
So sorry… Just as I get back and we reconnect, I abandon you for another trip to Casper. This time to sort through Mom’s belongings… write thank you cards… rediscover items from childhood… sort and pack and load 78 years of Mom’s life to go new directions. I will try to drop a note the…
Stories To Tell…
Today was a glorious day! Pretty… Clear… Sunny… Perfect for a winter outing… so we took one! Located on North Buffalo Creek perhaps 12 miles due west of this place is the Dugout. (Johnny and Vernon hiking to the Dugout ruins) Known to all local cowboys of the early days, the Dugout was a well…
Sleddogs
Sleddogs My view when I arrived home the other night… An *almost* perfect scene… Think the REA would be upset if I buried all our power lines??? ******************************************************************************* I need to share these photos I also took on my way home. I “almost” walked over and talked to these people… You see, back in the…
Remember the Mills Place
Remember the Mills Place? Thanksgiving 2008, this is what the kitchen looked like. Avocado green metal cabinets. A dishwasher you couldn’t open all the way because it banged into the stove. Laminate stuff on the walls. Not airy. Not full of light. We meant to change that! Destruction was relatively easy. They put 1/2 inch…
First Walk
First Walk I took my first walk with my dogs this afternoon… LONG overdue… My first of 2010… My first since Christmas… My first for waaaaaaa-aaaaay too long! Can you see Elsa’s impatience and Boomer’s passive indulgence? But more, can you see Dally’s LOVE? (Lucas is already in the trees ahead) How about now??? Oh,…
Journey
I’ve returned. This journey was a difficult one, and I thank all of you who wrote, sent best wishes, and prayed for my mother and I. I found it inspiring and amazing that this little blog, set in the middle of nowhere, could receive the generous amount of good hearted wishes it did. When I…
Blessings to You
I hope the next few days are filled with family and friends… joy and patience… long hugs and sweet kisses… the touch of a gentle hand… laughter… love… I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas. *************************************************************************** For you, my friends, I have to let you know… this may be my last blog for…
Wordless Wednesday – “Lion’s Mouth”
Poor Dillon’s head in the Lion’s Mouth”
So Long, Sadie!
Well, although little bitty Sadie will continue to grace my house for the next few days… She’s no longer my pup. Sadie gets to go to live with Matt Davis in Kaycee, Wyoming. I know, without a doubt, I’ll see Sadie frequently as she grows and ages. That will be a joy, seeing one of…
Enjoyable to Me
Chisum’s curiosity could have got him in DEEP TROUBLE and the SHOCK of his little life… But thankfully, the electric fence isn’t turned on this time of year! Believe me, I would have been yelling instead of taking his picture! A split second later, his wet nose was ON the insulator and fence wire. It…
