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…

Ho Ho
The next steps… With this old thick paper from the old books, it’s easy to cover the letters. I did have to do some ripping apart and readjusting. The only part I don’t like is the edges. I glued the paper down with Mod Podge, and took a piece of sandpaper to the edges, which…
A Little
If anyone would like buy me a franchise for a Hobby Lobby in Worland, I would love you for ever and ever and we would make TONS of money, because there is NO PLACE TO BUY CRAFTS IN THE BIG HORN BASIN! Oh, there’s a shop somewhere… maybe Cody? But not one that handles everything…
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…
Highlights
Getting organized for Thanksgiving, including cleaning and straightening up my house, occupied most of my day. Unknown to me, the guys moved the heifers from one field to another. Had I known, I would have helped… and of course, taken photos for you! As it was, the most excitement I saw was my washing machine! …
Ta-da!
This morning greeted me with this view… I made this up for tonight’s activity… Same with this one… Ta- da! **** October 6, 2011 Good Timing October 6, 2010 Wordless Wednesday – Sunshine Flows Into Trees October 6, 2009 Randomness and Cruisin’ October 6, 2008 Teach Me, Dally
Many Blessings
While ranch work consumes the guys, as usual, and I march off to my day job at the library, bits and pieces of blessings flow around us. First, remember these, my Red Dirt shirts I made to benefit the Washakie County Library Endowment? They were sold at a silent auction fundraiser. The characters of Henry…

From Rags to…
Well, maybe… Maybe… If I could REALLY make it through a day where I could sit on the couch and do NOTHING else, I could either finish that dastardly baby quilt, or the new project… my rag rug. I know… the babies are almost a year old… but the quilt is a use-at-grandma’s-house-only quilt anyway……
Right Place
I’m going to repeat myself. Because I talked about these years ago… but when J. showed up the other day, and brought me two new ones… I just HAVE to mention them again, they’re just so cool! This is what I’m talking about… First, “Welcome, Friends” Then, “Cowboy Wisdom” She just photographs vintage farm tools,…
Longmire
Just as I was sitting down to post tonight’s Longmire Baskets for the Washakie County Library Endowment Silent Auction… ka-boom! Lightning and thunder and minimal rain… which quickly meant, once again… FIRE. My guys grabbed their Nomex and the Fire Truck, and off they went. I manned the phone, calling neighbors, the county grader, and…
Another One
If you think I’m talking fire… well, yes. My guys were out until 3 am, fighting fire in a steep and rocky canyon. This time things went perfectly and they hit it hard and fast, and kept it to less than 30 acres! Score! Beats 4,000! Thunderstorms continue to swirl around… which means I’m on…
