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…
Eggs and Tomatoes
As usual, you guys are so SWEET! Thanks for all the well wishes for little Quinlan! I know Brandon reads this… well, he did before his activity level got boosted up another foot… so, I’m sure these are all getting read and passed along. Thank you SO MUCH. <Yes, Quinlan was a little earlier than…
Entrepreneurial Partners
What can I do with a bucket of rocks? I can slowly… decorate my bathroom. No, I didn’t finish, but I’m pretty far along in the process! So, yesterday on my wanderings, I grabbed a few shovelfuls of teeny tiny eentsy weentsy rock. It took forever, picking them up with tweezers! Nah… I’m foolin’ ya….
I’m Lichen It!
I’m needing to finish up some details on my projects so I can count them as completed. The last thing needed in my bathroom is the decorative “chair rail” that I originally hoped to cover in fossils. Alas and alack! my fossil stash is too poor to use the way I’d originally intended. I’d also…
Nowood Metal Art
You know this handsome guy… He’s my youngest… He has a new endeavor. Let me give you a Big (TALL) Hint. He’s standing below his first large production, a metal frame/sign for our Wyoming Centennial Farm and Ranch award we received two years ago. (It’s really not going to be that tall, we do have…

It’s late and I’m just sitting down to do this… better get crackin’! Lou Anne wrote: Hi Carol, I was thinking about Dally trying to get in and be with Elsa’s puppies and not being accepted. Has Elsa shown any interest in the new puppies and if so, is Dally letting Grandma visit? …
