My sister is here. We work on projects together quite well. We also can have fun! Today was Fun Day. What would we choose to play with today??? She took her new AR-15… I took my new .22. (We also had throwing knives and slingshots along for backup!) I took my little bitty spinny target…

Excitement x 3
Wow. Where was I? Seems like forevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvver that this blog actually WORKED! But it does, and I’m excited! Thanks, GoDaddy… Then my sister… who lives in Texas… was visiting in Billings, Montana, and her truck broke down. Her son brought her down to me while it was being repaired… Two days later… it was finished…
The Titanic Event in Pictures
The lifeboat. The awesome gangway. King of the World! King of the Wha? The Iceberg. First Class place settings… too bad the scones hadn’t arrived yet! They were tasty! Second Class place setting. Steerage place setting. The prizes. A moment of silence.
Family Tree
Not long ago, I shared the beginnings of an undertaking with you… in As Time Goes By. It is my version of the Pinterest project usually called “painted family tree” or some such title. Like I said earlier, this is an ongoing job, as our family grows… so will these photo walls. I’m looking for…
Cloth Diaper Photo Tutorial
I attempted a photo of some cloth diaper styles… I can tell my forte is not marketing photography! But this will have to do. Blogging on my iPad has its limits! The pic I took shows all in one diapers, pocket diapers, and a diaper cover with tri fold diapers. I have an cute navy…
My Education
Last time I was here assisting Victoria and Matt with their newborn twins, I fed and burped and changed their disposable diapers… It was like riding a bicycle, it all came back to me. This time it’s a bit different, I have a few things to learn. Victoria has become a fan of cloth diapers….
Winners and Winter Travel!
I zipped around my house this morning, trying to get the basics done… A roast in the crock pot… Some printing was completed of my blog entries now that I have both ink and paper at the same time! A few things picked up and put away. A suitcase packed. Yes. I ran away from…
Sweet Ride
Betchya thought the only people around here with cool rides were the adults. You know… Dodge pickups, horses, my Durango… Nope. Quinlan’s got a pretty spiffy outfit… a JEEP, as a matter of fact! I was impressed. It handled the mud and ice and snow just fine! Definitely a Sweet Ride! **** January 28, 2011…
The Whisper of Hay Dust
Hay dust filters through the sunlight, drifting in lazy circles until it settles back on wooden edges. Ancient grain, a pile of manure (well-aged), mice scent, and dried out leather add to the ambience as I wonder at the memories held in these log walls. Memories that don’t belong to me, yet I can feel…
Q-utie, QT, Cutie!
I wasn’t going to use this. Then I was. Then I wasn’t. Then I looked at him again… And I just can’t resist! Besides, you don’t want to hear about my computer frustrations and cleaning my pantry which is all that occupied my day today… This is MUCHMUCH better! Here’s my Q-utie! (QT?) CUTIE! Cutie…
Changes
Well, it’s quiet here. No pack ‘n’ play in front of the door… No bouncy chair in the corner… No baby bottles on the counter… No warm little one to snuggle with… They’ve headed back to Laramie… and it is amazing how quickly we settled into the routine of having three more people in this…
Christening and Contest Winners
We weighed our heifer calves today, and since the day was so warm, I had a helper for a few hours in the afternoon. Yeah… forget me (bad photo) but look closer! What a cutie! This is the cutest outfit to weigh calves in, I think I’ve ever seen! PLUS… He was cowboy christened today……
