Photo Improvements
Marilyn was nice enough yesterday to leave a comment about my photos… And that got me to thinking… I couldn’t do this without taking multiple and I mean, MULTIPLE photos… Especially what I call OOPE photos… The ones I’m NOT supposed to be taking because I’m supposed to be WORKING, not playing photographer. The ones…
Another Day of Riding
We moved 100 pairs today from the Mesa to a new pasture leased from a neighbor… It was mainly me and Daniel and Brandon and S., our neighbor girl. Vernon and Johnny took the bulls back down to our bull pasture. Brandon discovered the pains (literally) of riding a colt… with a couple of nice…
STUPID People
I’m not really sure if I should title this entry STUPID People, IGNORANT People, or MEANSPIRITED MISLED BLANKETY BLANK People. I always heard it was better to be ignorant… that just meant you didn’t know better… but that you could learn or change… Like if I went to New York City and someone asked me…
Centennial Thanks
Well, it’s been almost a week now… I haven’t looked at the formal portraits we had taken on our Centennial day… But I’ve decided it’s time to move on. Move on to the quiet ranchlife of moving cattle, which I did today… Putting out salt… Spying a hillside full of elk… Enjoying my kids before…
Centennial Gift

My original idea was to post each individual page, but I decided that I wanted to share my boys’ rendition they gave during our…

Centennial Traffic
Ranch “outfits”… definition: motorized transportation/work vehicles Four wheelers… Motorcycles… Pickup trucks… “Town” cars… Sometimes we are accused of having too many around here… Each kid has their car… We have 3 pickups… A truck… 3 four wheelers… Two motorcycles… My Durango… Johnny’s car… But NEVER. NEVER. Has this ranch seen this many cars at once!…
Centennial Song
One of THE best things from our Centennial Celebration was this song, written and sung by our friend Joe Bain from Crowheart, Wyoming. We’ve known Joe a loooong time, and were thrilled with this composition! One Hundred Years Ago ©2009, Joe Bain Greet Ranch Centennial Song from Carol Greet on Vimeo. By the Nowood River…
Centennial Celebration
Over 100 relatives… Fed over 300 family and friends… Launched my book Red Dirt in My Soul… Talked and talked… Hugged and hugged again… Took very few pictures unfortunately… Relying on others for that… Legs are tired… Left my camera in a car over there… So no photos tonight… Need to put my feet up…
