This was first posted June 24, 2011. As you’re reading this, I’m in Casper. I’ve returned to my mom’s house for a special occasion. My brother and sister-in-law now live in “Southfork”, as my dad named it. <Any guesses to what his favorite TV show was way back when?> Anyway, tomorrow we’ll…

Truly Blessed
First chance to get off his horse and run around like little boys should after 5 or 6 hours in the saddle. He brought me two presents… a small horny toad and a bitterroot flower. I accepted the flower and he let the horny toad go where a horse wouldn’t step on him. He’s worked…
#TBT: Not Even, v.2.0
This was first posted May 20, 2011. Tonight the library hosted Glenda Bell aka Calamity Jane. Her performance/discussion was lively, interesting, and enlightening. However, since we’re on Day 349,710 of RAIN… only 11 people showed up. We had originally planned an ice cream social on the lawn outside the library. Monday, we were smart enough…
#TBT: Stockdog History, v.2.0
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…
