Remember in math class when they said… you will need this when you grow up? Well… they were right. You do have to do math as a rancher. Or you have to have a husband and sons that are good at math, so your little ol’ artsy fartsy brain doesn’t have to work! I just…
Walking Bridge II
(continued from yesterday’s post) So the platform was partly in the creek, next I’d have to get in the water and man handle the new bridge into place. I am bummed that this is only a temporary little bridge. I will have to pull it out before the creek rises in the spring, but since…
Walking Bridge
Well, I’ve thought for years that I needed a bridge down across Little Canyon Creek. I can go on a walk and stay on this side of the creek and yes, I can cover a fair amount of country… but the other side of the creek has always been greener. There may not be lots…
Another Visit
This time, a cousin from my mom’s side of the family came by for a visit. He stayed at my sister’s house, but, of course, we shared some good meals and fun stories and a short tour of the country. Now, D. is ten years older than me, so as kids, we didn’t hang around…
#TBT : The Best, v.2.0
This was first posted August 24, 2008. Mankind has developed great, wonderful, and stupendous inventions throughout the centuries… modern medicine, farming methods, space exploration, chocolate, milkshakes, and without a doubt, the best invention of all is nothing less than a hot shower. I spent the day with good friends, exploring and riding trails on our…
Wordless Wednesday : “Can’t See Me”
For the jigsaw puzzle of this photo… click here. Please share, too… you know someone that likes cats… 😉
Meanwhile…
So… meanwhile… as I’ve been off to Cheyenne and Sheridan… the ranch continues on… The guys are haying, spreading salt, checking for sick calves. We did haul up Vernon’s salt shed. Remember his winter project? The shed is positioned. The excavator starts to pull it onto the trailer. We then had to switch to the…
First Day
Instagram and nice friends saved me time and money! Noticing that a friend had posted a beach picture from Oregon, I texted B. and asked if she’d be interested in bringing my puppy home for me. She was… with Mary from Shepherd’s Way English Shepherds willing to meet her… things were set! “Merlin” was a…
He’s Home
Well, he was almost home in this pic, but I stopped at my sister’s house to show him off and ended up staying for supper. The sun was setting, and I really hadn’t even taken a good pic except for this one where he looks like he’s choking himself! (Probably not PETA approved… but he…
Faster
He’s not here. He flew into Billings tonight, but went home with my friends who agreed to bring him to their home in Sheridan for me! Vernon and I will head out just after he finishes with his irrigating… and then I can finally see this face in person! He doesn’t seem too sure about…
Alumni
Another day at Wyoming Library Association conference filled with good vendors, better breakout sessions, and one of the best speakers we’ve had. Maybe I’m prejudiced a little since I’ve known him since… <cough, cough>… oh, excuse me! Anyway… I actually would enjoy having a written copy of his speech, so I could reread and digest…
Library Trip
I’m attending the Wyoming Library conference in Cheyenne again… expanding my knowledge, networking with new and old friends, and having a good time doing it. The only complaint I have, is I would like to see some things while I’m here… tour the newly renovated capitol building, go to the State Museum, just do something…
