Well, I’ve known before that I hate hinges… for some reason, they puzzle me up! Because of that simple little quirk, I didn’t accomplish anything with my dresser today except for sanding the drawer front. Yes, due to popular demand, I’m going to attempt to leave it on! I’m glad everyone supported that idea… I…
After Shot… Kinda
The other day, I gave you the “before” shot of an old dresser I am repurposing for our “new” entertainment center. So, I’ve spent a few days sanding off 95% of the old varnish… boy, it sure smelled like kerosene… I’ve taken off the old knobs… and rubbed it down with tung oil. Today, it looks…
Snake – The Video
I’m very happy so many of you enjoyed the story of Snake from yesterday. I’m also glad I wasn’t the only one who could remember the Shake ‘N’ Bake commercial from way back when where the little girl says in a cute southern accent, “and ah heoppt!” Ali and Vince, it is illegal to have…
The Story
Last week, a friend told me a story… They live alongside a small creek dotted with stately cottonwood trees. In the wintertime, it’s not unusual to see a bald eagle perched among the bare branches. Sliding along their long snowy driveway, they noticed a bald eagle on the ground, perhaps it had a rabbit or…

Fair Weather Cowgirl
We’ve received 10″ of snow with this storm, more than we’ve had for quite a while! 4″-5″ were predicted, so when it dumped this on us, we were surprised! It is very light and fluffy… even my snowshoes yesterday didn’t make much of a difference! Since we were due to bring our cows in from…
Due To The Weather
Let’s just say it snowed a tad here last night and today. Enough that I took my snowshoes when I walked my dogs! My usual trail to the dam and beyond was more than I could stand, I barely made it to the dam! The dogs were exercised as well as I was. Elsa, being…
A New Craft Support Group Part B
We started this little adventure in November. Preparing for Christmas presents, remember? Well, it’s come and gone… as well as Vernon’s birthday on the first… and as usual… I’m still not finished! I figured I’d share anyway. I only work on it when I sit down in front of the TV… and after a bit I…
Before Shot
Thanks to everyone who expressed condolences at the loss of Willow. You are very special to take the time and effort to send me a note! I really appreciate all of you! One of the great things about living on a ranch… if a horse has given you years of work… he can retire here……
My Red Willow Dancer
Really, I can’t remember how old he was. I can’t remember what his registered name was. I do remember he was my mode of transportation for many, many years. He was a sweetheart. Brought up from Oklahoma by a guy from Hyattville, Wyoming… This man used to drive to Oklahoma, buy a new horsetrailer and…
