Looking back even farther than last week… I must have been in college!? Unbelievably, in a week, my mom will have been gone for nine years… but she made me laugh the other day! I can still hear her voice! Left to right, my mom, Jerri Underwood Burton; me! (In pigtails and baseball cap); my…

Book Discussion
I held my book discussion on The First White Woman In The Big Horn Basin by Paul Frison. This local history book is fascinating in so many ways! For those of you really interested, the Washakie Museum in Worland has some new reprints for sale. The book discussion can be watched here.
Chaos
When eight grandchildren, three or so dogs, and nine adults come to visit… my mudroom quickly becomes chaos. When I took this photo, I honestly didn’t notice the Coors Light box in the center of the room… and maybe that says something! I hope your holidays continue to be frantic, chaotic, and messy… because life…
Gingerbread
Eight kids and gingerbread houses plus frosting plus candy. Good thing there’s just enough snow outside to sled on!
Kids’ Program
I know the internet is full of them now, but, hey, I might as well jump into the fray. Here’s Ten Sleep School’s kindergarten, first, and second graders singing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”… Miss Reagan stole the show… even though she never did break into a dance like I expected her to!…
Love Ya
We made a flying trip to have our Jeep worked on… nothing spectacular about our day. However, since this post will arrive on the 28th… I will share Reagan’s birthday pics since it will be her birthday! Happy first birthday to my youngest grandchild… you are quite the blessing with your happy spirit and joyful…
Confused

Now, I’m just confused on what day, when, and sometimes even *what* I’m blogging…
#TBT : Hidden
I don’t know if I’ve told this story before or not… after blogging for ten years, you forget things! But since it’s on my side of the family… I doubt that I did. This is a photo of my grandfather, Charles Littlejohn Burton, and my father, Charles Leslie Burton (age three?). My grandfather died nine…
#TBT : Romantic Ride Along
This couple are having a romantic ride along. Can anyone guess what piece of equipment they’re using? Taken in the field between Daniel and Johnny’s houses.
#TBT: Breaking a Bronc
The comment is “breaking bronc. Fred driving, Dad (Frank) with switch to keep bronc from lagging” Details in the photo: The Barn is there, along with the original Joe Henry cabin. The white clapboard house addition has not been built onto the cabin yet and Johnny’s house is not built either.
#TBT : Comparison
After the work is done, payment comes in a good lunch! Not much has changed…
