I am SOOO amaaaaaazingly sssssssssslow… It was an entire week ago that I gave you a peek at my bathroom tiling progress. I’m not that much farther… If I had to pay me by the hour… I’d be mighty mad by now! But progress is progress! Slap those last two tiles on the end wall, insert…

A Picture of Progress
Finally, a picture of progress. Before we started remodeling the bathroom… it was classic 1950’s style. Cool mint green *fake* tile… With a neato fishy on the rear wall! Although there was a shower curtain, notice there is no REAL shower. Remember those you could hook onto the tub spout? Yeah. The tub was original…
Chances Are…
I braved the tiling again… this time mixing just one cup of water with the 2.3 cups of dry thin set. I’m writing that down, so that I don’t forget the ratio! I don’t know why it’s not written on the bag, but it isn’t. The consistency of peanut butter… Thanks to internet research, I…
My New Toy
My new toy… no, it’s not a Wii… (people tell me I should want one, but I don’t think so) no, it’s not a new iPod… (I’m very happy with my “ancient” gum stick iPod) no, it’s not an iPad… (though THAT is on my Big Wish List – the one that I’ll get if…
Fame and …
For those of you who don’t Tweet… or follow me on Twitter… or read the little update in the left hand sidebar… I gotta brag (again). My photo of the storm cloud that hit Ten Sleep made the front page of the local paper. Of course, I sent it to them… and the National Weather Service…
Indian Room – Finished!
OK… So maybe it’s only 95% finished… No curtains yet… No bedspread. Though I’m debating between a microsuede from Overstock.com or dyeing my own duvet cover… No baseboards… One little bare spot I’m looking for a photo frame to fit… It’s gone from peachy walls to warm camel… and now it’s decorated! I AM SO EXCITED!…
I’m Cooking… in More Ways than One!
My mother was a great cook. My sister is a fantastic cook. Me. Not so much. I do it because it is part of the job description for ranchwife… like filing cards in the card file when I was a librarian… or paperwork when I was an archaeologist… there’s always part of the job that…
Indian Room and Q & A
I keep returning to the Mills place to paint and clean and arrange. Finally today the end is in sight for my “Indian” room. Although I’m a proud member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, my Indian collection is pretty much a reflection of the high plains area of Wyoming. I had made a list…
Blue Sky Gift
Wonderful Wyoming did it again… We awoke to rain with an occasional snowflake. For a bit, it was a full blizzard, then it backed off! Needless to say, Vernon voted for his tractor and plowing again, and I blasted off for the Mills Place to throw some paint on the walls. I painted ceilings first,…
Creativity Help
I’m searching for a new name. This blog comes free with my website… www.rimrockenglishshepherds.com but it is hard for people to find and/or remember. If you are looking for wonderful dogs, you can find the website by searching for English Shepherds and Wyoming… but if you only read one or two blog entries about calving or cowboying……
Easter Egg- Part Two
When I begin an egg for pysanky, I might have a general idea of what I want… Traditional styles… or not. Traditional colors… or not. Sometimes I want to try something new. Like art deco styles… Wonderful end designs… Amazing bands of art deco swirls and integrated designs. My plan… Simple green and white. No…
Chain Cow Continues Her Adventures
I have to admit, I wasn’t sure this idea of mine was going to fly… I didn’t think anyone would be thrilled with this idea… But, it continues on… Remember this little number? She’s had way more adventures than a little Irish/American heifer(?) should ever have! I admit… I’m jealous. She’s in Texas right now… living it up….
