Really? You WANTED to see my filthy garage? Well, after my two days at the library, I went back out to it today. Here’s the side I’ve been focusing on… I’m trying to turn this part into my “wood shop”. You’ll have to use your imagination, because this is what it looks like after 5…

Much Cuter
Have you ever seen a disorganized, filthy, yucky garage? Well, I’ve had one for quite a while now. Last year, when the garage door broke, it got worse. Then I decided. I want the door repaired. I want a garage door opener. I want to walk out to go to work and not have to…
On High
The guys scour guarded our cows today… as well as something new we’re trying… injectable minerals. Scours, as I’ve talked about before, can really wreck your calving season… Mineral supplements can help keep your herd in tip top health, so instead of having them just eat their minerals, this year, we’re giving them a shot….
Rather Magnetic
We’ve decided Christmas trees are magnetic. Especially to little twin boys about 15 months old. Most of the lower ornaments have migrated to the safer environs of higher elevations. Mud rooms, too, have minute tractor beams that lead little boys through the maze of dining room chairs set up as road blocks. But mud rooms…
Wordless Wednesday – “Readers”
“Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.” — Emilie Buchwald. If so, they all have a good start this Christmas! I gave a selection of Jan Brett books… one of my favorite illustrators… to be used at a future point in time! **** December 26, 2011 Her Glory December 26, 2010 Wildlife…
Very Good Boy
Santa had his work cut out for him at the library today… Jaxon’s a Happy (sleeping) Boy… Quinlan not so much. But that Santa… he was silly. He kept dropping those cool jingle bells. Quinlan was willing to help that much, giving the Jolly Old Elf those bells back! A little patience, no sudden moves,…
Catching on FAST
Well, no… I haven’t been on this place long. It’s my first job, if you want to know the truth. They gave me this sorting stick… I’m not real sure what “sorting” is, but look at the awesome trails I can make in the snow! I guess I’m on gate duty. It’s an important job….
Big and Small Wyoming
Sigh. Back home again. While I’m thrilled to be back online, I will miss those little boys and their antics, oh, yes, the parents, too… The twins are just beginning to walk, so life is definitely a Big Adventure! So… gee… where to start? I *had* planned to come home yesterday, but then found out…
One Down
If I don’t get a project finished during the winter months… it’s probably not going to get done over the summer! At least those *hand-did* gifts… Like this one… Last year, Victoria found me the cutest Roy Rogers fabric while shopping for her twins’ quilt fabric. I was just going to put the two back…
Thanksgiving
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family! **** November 22, 2011 I Forget November 22, 2010 #foodthanks November 22, 2009 Bull Sale Part Two November 22, 2008 OOPE 2 Fave
Reader’s Digest Version
Well, I didn’t take the time to figure out why my camera won’t download some of my videos. I’m not sure if its a memory thing, or if its unreadable for some other reason. Which is too bad, because I have great movies of Quinlan’s first bull sale! You’d think the sound and activity would…
Attentive
Today included: driving 2 hours to a bull sale. (bought a couple!) driving another 45 minutes to a.) watch Victoria’s middle school basketball team that she coaches (they won!) b.) attend an early 1st birthday party for the twins! driving home. OK. Technically I didn’t drive… but you know what I mean. That’s enough for…
