I don’t know if I should title this entry, “Panic” or “White Knuckles”. After falling asleep while trying to watch the National Finals Rodeo… I awoke to a dog’s snuffling nose at my bedside. Grabbing ten more seconds of warmth, I tossed back the covers and glanced at my windows. No rim of frost. Good….

This Is a Sweet Car
I hope you enjoyed your day… sharing and eating and laughing! We sure did! While visiting with my youngest… he offered to write this for me… soo… Here’s a guest post from my son, Brandon: Well thank you, ma’am, for that lovely introduction. (She loves it when I call her “ma’am”). First, I want to…
It’ll Work
It’ll Work We helped our neighbors ship their old and open cows and some weaned calves today. They didn’t have too many, so it was a relaxing event for us. Although Lucas is rarely relaxed around cattle if he thinks he can help! He and I stayed out of the way for the last bit…
The Hands of Greet Ranch
The skin may be covered in oil and grease. The fingernails may be full of grit and goo. A splinter or a barbwire cut is usually evident. The fingers may curve in atypical directions… blame it on football or machinery or livestock. There are no rings to snag in a pto. Calluses are present, especially…
Twilight Zone
I was up on the mountain today. For part of it, Victoria and I took our dogs past the old Bar C cabin. I’ve never seen this cabin standing, but over the years, I have watched it lower itself like a grandfather settling in a soft couch. Bit by bit, it disappears into the ground….
Just to Make You Three Happy
All righty, folks… These will be the last wedding photos I plan on posting… I thought I’d throw out the fun ones… My boys LOVE to do this for some unknown male reason… they stare vacantly into space, mouths slack, often not looking at the camera. A Dumb and Dumber there’s-nobody-home version that has ruined…
Just to Make You Too Happy
More! My kids, Daniel, Victoria, Brandon. I was so worried her dress would hang on the wooden benches… it was a narrow aisle! Let us Laugh… She loves him… Matt’s father D. married them. His best (little) man was N., Matt’s nephew. Matt’s brother, Z. also stood for him. Let us Believe in One Another……
Just to Make You Happy
For those of you who’ve been waiting… and waiting… Here are a few more wedding photos! I like how Victoria is in a different position than expected… My family with our new member… Just for kicks and giggles… I’ll post a few more tomorrow!
Service
We had a little ceremony here on the Greet Ranch yesterday. Even the reporter from the Northern Wyoming Daily News in Worland made it over. Seems as though my father-in-law, John, received another award for his volunteer weather observation. He’s received the Jefferson Award and John Campanius Holm award previously. This time it was the Dick…
Showerhouse Experience
Please indulge me with one last wedding story… Most weddings have something that goes “wrong”… at mine, my sister left Vernon’s ring behind… since it didn’t fit and needed resized… she thought we weren’t using it. That was easily remedied since I was married at my parents’ house and the ring was just upstairs. Victoria’s…
Cake!
I’m sorry… I have a few more wedding stories I want to share… don’t worry, the big trail to the mountain pasture is coming up soon, and you’ll get lots of cowboying stories then… but I wanted to share the cakes with you! It was such a soap opera… the falling cakes… the oven that…
