I wish I’d been recording while these three reminisced their own stories the other day during our lunch break. It went kind of like this… I’ve added some input as well.

Quite Nicely
While the James Greet Reminiscing series comes to an end, cowboying in the present continues. On day two of the Badlands Gather, I was in charge of babysitting Reagan at home and bringing the chuckwagon when requested. Throughout the morning, I received updates from Megan (when she had service) of where they were and how…
Reminiscing XXX
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. I could always tell what variety of wood was being burned by the odor of the smoke. In the towns, there was the odor of coal or coke being used. Coke was coal with the oil extracted from…
Reminiscing XXIX
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. I remember one Christmas of riding in Grandad Pyle’s Model T Ford. I rode in the backseat with grandma. The car did have side curtains, but we needed heavy coats to keep warm. Grandma and I had an…

Also something about the places and times…

Reminiscing XXVI
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. It was a nice sunny day, and we enjoyed trailing our cattle. It seemed as though the whole world belonged to us, for we hadn’t seen another soul since very early the day before. Maybe I should point…
Reminiscing XXV
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. We checked the cupboard, and there was only two items of food; popcorn, and a small size can of canned milk, nothing else! No salt, or anything. Luckily, there was a supply of stove wood in the cabin….
Reminiscing XXIV
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. When we started down the other side, we dropped quite rapidly the first mile and a half. It was a nice, sunny day and we enjoyed the colorful landscape of the gumbo and bentonite terrain, accented with snow…
