Beef. It’s What’s For Thanksgiving.
Eleven pounds of wonderful prime rib. It was delicious! I hope you enjoyed your meal, your family, your blessings… as much as Jaxon did! Thank you for being here, reading, commenting, and sharing Red Dirt in My Soul…
Concrete Proof
I babysat. Somehow… stealing my hat is a wonderfully funny thing to do! Now we’re playing peekaboo? You’re cheating. Nice teefe! …
Night All
The craft fair was good… The birthday party was fun! The cake, yummy… But all good things come to an end… and I’m off to bed! Q&A tomorrow! Night all!
Trunk or Treat
Maybe I should have made a movie with those clouds from yesterday… or written something inspiring… but, NOPE! TIME OUT FOR CUTE GRANDKID PHOTOS! They were Forrest Gump and Lt. Dan. It just made me laugh! Jaxon got a kick out of it, too! Their first real Halloween… gathering candy at Trunk or Treat… was…
Ghostly Remnants
On Bull Testing Day, our veterinarian was late. We had an hour to kill, so I went in search of items for my Creativity Door. I headed towards the “old shop”. The OLD *OLD* shop. The one that used to be the blacksmith shop, and the one whose ghost whispers around the sod roofed bunkhouse….
Cowboys on the Horizon
Pregnancy testing… The way to find out if a cow gets to stay or hit the road. We actually ended up just after lunch! Two o’clock or so… which is AMAZING for us! We’re so used to trying to do ALL of them at once, but splitting the herd in half, while it causes more…

First Horseride
Ah, man! 11:15 and I just finished my rodeo video! I enjoyed putting this together! Had to throw it together with Chris LeDoux’s “Horsepower” song… who else? I really like some of my photos… but you can’t get a good sense of them in this video. Maybe I should get *less creative* and just post…
Thick of Things
Ranch work continues around here… the break for the wedding was short but sweet! Yesterday we sold our steers on the Northern Livestock Video Auction over the internet. This is PAYDAY… and we were happy. Today we tagged the steers with their Angus Source Genetics eartag. We could do it at any time, but we…
More Pics
My small part… I hung pine garland on the deck to help block the view of the ski lift and parking lot… and put one on the head table with some wildflowers. I put some extra matching flowers from her bouquet on as a cake topper… Victoria and Cindy, Vernon’s sister, created wonderful wildflowers centerpieces…
