I have a full house tonight! There were eight of us for dinner… It is so nice to have my family together! The funny thing is… with all of us here… there were also seven dogs! If Johnny had brought Sam over… there would have been eight. I think each one found the same stinky…

So Stoked
I have a fondness for old wood stoves. You know that. I’ve written about it before. But this story is about a “new-to-me” wood stove. This is hunting season around here and usually hunters bring us gifts. We’ve received 20# of gummy bears and Denver Bronco memorabilia and rifles and apples and cheesecheesecheese and 50#…
That Order
It musta been a Monday today. Sometimes the only way to know what day it is around here is by what you end up watching on television when you collapse into the recliner after dark. It was much easier when there was only Monday Night Football. Now with Thursday, college Saturday, and Sunday football as…

Intelligence Level
Many of you have commented on the amount of knowledge I have seemed to have absorbed the years I’ve lived on this place. It’s true… and I had discussion about that with a friend the other day. I never thought I could vaccinate cattle, but I do… I never thought I could drive a tractor,…
The Hands of Greet Ranch
The skin may be covered in oil and grease. The fingernails may be full of grit and goo. A splinter or a barbwire cut is usually evident. The fingers may curve in atypical directions… blame it on football or machinery or livestock. There are no rings to snag in a pto. Calluses are present, especially…
