This was first posted April 9, 2011. Since it decided to rain today (starting off with a skiff of snow), Vernon did tractor work which left me to work on my house again. I’m getting my closets figured out and reorganized… pulling out a shelf here, adding it there, and moving the rods around. Repainting….

Inspiration
I don’t know quite what I will do, but at tomorrow’s Ledger Art Class, I may decide to use one of the photos of one of my ancestors… I love old photos. My great grandfather, William Charles Burton, in front of his store in Paris, Texas. Or another great grandfather, Kennedy Underwood, shown seated. He’s…
Soft Winter Day
Finally. Snow. Cold. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It currently is 1˚. Vernon and I have a bet how cold it will get on this clear night… I think I’ve probably already lost! With no cloud cover to hold the heat in, it is going to be crisp in the morning. I…
Just Us
I should have done so many things today… but I didn’t. It was grey, overcast, windy, and snowy at times and the temperature plummeted rapidly. It’s been unusually warm and mild, and we need the snow and the moisture it brings. It is December… Unfortunately, it didn’t bring much snow, but it still made you…
Fourth
It’s the beginning of holiday season… and around here, it’s also the beginning of birthday season. It seems like we’re always celebrating someone’s birthday from November through January… Today, I got to take Reagan’s fourth birthday photos… Yeah. Tough duty.
Back In Time Video
Much like last week’s video, this one covers only a single day… the memorable day my sister and I took Quinlan and Jaxon to Hell’s Half Acre, Fort Caspar, and the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center. I know I shared many photos of this fun and educational day… but I always like the videos the…
Ranchlife FUN: Youth Rodeo video
We had FUN the week of July 15-22! The Ten Sleep Youth Rodeo is held with local entrants… ones with 20 year old horses and ornery ponies and loving support from parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and great-grandparents! I chose only to use a bit of music at the end so you could hear everyone wishing…
Kid Version
Saturday was pregnancy testing with our heifers. Since it was the weekend, it was all hands on deck… the boys rode and helped gather. The little girls arrived later with Tess and the food. Because I enjoy seeing them work and play and have a grand time… You’ll have to suffer through these pics… courtesy…
Football
Today we attended Quinlan’s first football game. Yes, fifth graders can play football, and it seems like 5th graders made up half of the team. For some reason, Ten Sleep can’t seem to field a high school football team. We have the kids, but no interest, which is sad. My boys really enjoyed playing football,…
New Country
Thanks to everyone who congratulated Vernon and I on our 40th anniversary yesterday. I should have posted about it last night, but was rather tired from our expedition. We didn’t have a plan, but our impulse decisions gave us a fun day. Vernon chose to drive down Crazy Woman Canyon. This scenic route from Highway…
