I had fun doing a photo op with Daniel and Tess and kids… Jaxon is soon to be THREE, yes, THREE… so it was a good time to do this! I lost the light soon after I arrived unfortunately, but, eh, they don’t look too bad! Miss Lacee The soon to be Birthday Boy! The…
Halloween is Coming!
Halloween is coming! Brandon grew these… Big enough to climb into… While the boys were helped with carving their jack-o-lanterns… the girls were turned loose with paintbrushes. Oh, boy… my studio will get a workout one of these days…
Birthday
A little house painting… a little cleaning… A little birthday cake! Yup, the oldest grandson turned four today. FOUR. Pretty amazing. There’s ranchwork to come tomorrow, but today please indulge me with cute grandkid photos! The birthday boy, Quinlan. Jaxon… trying to put Quinlan’s new ambulance in his pocket so he can ride the trike….
65 Years Difference
Since I went past this Friday, I thought I’d share… Powder River Pass, September 2015… Powder River Pass, 1950. I just get such a kick out of these old photos… still!
Labor Day Weekend
While the Labor Day weekend has been full of company and activities, most pics have been of the grandkids whose photos I can’t post! There’s wading in the creek and sweeping “roads” in the dust on the shop’s concrete floor. There’s riding in the Rhino and fighting with your brother. There’s riding on the Row…
Shiver
Another favorite. “Ernest Greet and Shiver” What a horse Shiver was! and doesn’t it make you wonder… how’d he get that name?
Cool
I feel like I didn’t accomplish much today… They weren’t very physical, I guess! I started to scan some of the old family photos… after figuring out the best way to do it, it went fairly fast. Scanning at a higher dpi slowed the process down extensively, so I didn’t. I imagine I may regret…
Boysen Dam
For any Wyoming history buffs out there… Here are two photos I found interesting. Boysen Dam is south of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Construction began in 1946. It is a rockfill dam, eventually reaching a height of 220′ and length of 1,143′. The crest of the dam is 30′ wide, but the base is over 900′! That’s…
Reminisces 2
Recently we’ve just all gone separate ways, Brandon is often fixing fence on the mountain, or putting out salt and mineral. Daniel is cutting hay. Vernon is repairing things and trying to combine the oats with a too-old swather. I’m trying to finish up painting my house. I started it last summer, then somehow didn’t…
Edward H. Stoll Award
I’d like to quote the US National Weather Service, Riverton, Wyoming because my father-in-law, Johnny, won an award today! They said everything quite well! “We were truly honored today to present a special award to Mr. John Greet of rural Ten Sleep for his 50 years of service as a volunteer cooperative weather observer. Mr….
Reminiscing
My father-in-law, Johnny, had an older brother James E. Greet, who wrote down some of his “reminisces” in 1991. I glance at the book every once in a while, and I always enjoy his tales about this Red Dirt Country. “There was the summer that the folks lived on the mountain claim with my older…
