I’m watching old home movies lately for kicks and giggles. I started looking for a video of my mom playing jacks… but just kept on watching. It’s awfully fun to compare my grandkids to their parents “back in the day.” I was leafing through pics of my mom… and came across this one. I instantly…

Miss Her
Oh, how I still miss her. She could whistle like a song bird and make any chore fun. She was great at playing jacks, and she could grow a great garden. She led by example, with grace and faith. Her cooking was delicious even if my dad would teasingly only give her an eight out…
Tater Bug
Well, I’ve spent most of the day looking for a photo I should have a copy of… and looking for it in a book… and on the internet. I give up because I know many of you will just email me a copy after I post this! I helped Johnny clear out more of his…
#TBT: Burton Girls
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
I used to always blog in the evening… then, lately, I’ve gotten lazy and posted something in the morning about what we had done the day before… then, sometimes, with work and all… it would be randomly throughout the day… Sorry. 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…
