So, the plan was… pick up *another* new toy this evening… but wires were crossed and tractors blew hydraulic hoses and my muscles have their limits… so I’ve made it home without my new toy. Rats. But I know you’re gonna love this one, because it had me doing the Snoopy Happy Dance! Since I…

Family Tree
Not long ago, I shared the beginnings of an undertaking with you… in As Time Goes By. It is my version of the Pinterest project usually called “painted family tree” or some such title. Like I said earlier, this is an ongoing job, as our family grows… so will these photo walls. I’m looking for…
As Time Goes By
Boy. It’s difficult to blog without my camera anymore. *I* was ready for my dog walk/heifer checking/craftiness today… but I had a DEAD camera. Absolutely lifeless. No AED was gonna revive it. Sure, I had other cameras AT HOME… but that didn’t help out with today’s events. I listlessly plugged it into the wall on…
Minute Movie : “Big Country”
Ha. I made it out there. Vernon really wasn’t too concerned about leaving the pickup and horsetrailer out in the Badlands… but I volunteered to go along and bring it home anyway! I could have stayed home, I think, fairly easily… but it just doesn’t seem right! There were plenty of neighbors riding… and John,…
Vintage Grand Lady
Remember the Grand Lady? How she made the trip from the root cellar to my house… perhaps reclaiming a corner she once knew? And I put her in a fancy dress and touched up her makeup… and surrounded her with glitter? Well… she enjoyed the holidays… but it was time to get back to reality….
Grand Lady
The guys blew to a bull sale way up in Montana the past two days… and I’m not a fan of spending 12 hours in a pickup… so I managed to entertain myself by decorating my house with no interruptions! I’ve had a wonderful time! Although I did put up a few decorations last year,…
Have a Seat!
Another project in the past few days was this chair. It’s been sitting here since we moved in… A very boring, simple, plain, little wooden chair. This will be a shock to those who know me, especially my children, but I decided to PAINT the chair! I hardly ever paint wood! As a side note,…
Let It Sift Into Your Soul…
It’s here! Well, almost! It’s put together and at the print shop… so now we wait… impatiently! For what? Oh, yeah… MY 2012 CALENDAR! A calendar full of red dirt, dogs, scenery, and cattle! There’s 31 of my photos in here… just like last year’s, a large monthly photo (suitable for framing ) with each…
Favorite Touches
To finish my reno post… a few of my favorite touches… Fish ARE back in the bathroom… just not the ones from the ’50’s! These are a little older… my dad’s fossil fish, plus one gifted from a friend, are hung with copper wire, patina already in place! Though not thrilled with the look…
Looks Good!
By royal decree… I declare the bathroom remodel complete! Today’s post is celebrating the bathroom as it is now! Stone seems to be my theme… and everything just fell into place! The bigger sink/vanity and medicine cabinet were purchased at a garage sale and spruced up! Wall paint was just a few bucks… mixing mistakes!…
That Once Was
I see over on a famous “pioneer” blog that she’s getting a room remodeled by HGTV. Wow. I’ve been wishing for “Yard Crashers” to show up here… but since I live four hours from a Lowe’s store… I can’t see it happening anytime soon! Well, HGTV won’t be doing it… but something *might* be happening…
Calendar Sized
So… I’m wandering through my last year’s crop of photos… preparing for my 2012 calendar… What? You didn’t know I put out a calendar????? Well, I’m so happy I mentioned it then! Yes, I’ve done a calendar for YEARS… and offered them to the general public the past two. I have to admit, last year’s…
