As Vernon says, it’s not your dad’s rodeo anymore. Full of laser lights… Fireworks… ( a moment after I took this, there was a sparkling fountain out of the top of the flagpole) And loud booms which makes me nervous as a horse owner! I guess it needs to qualify as more entertainment nowadays than…
Trade Show Fun
We made a flying trip to Rapid City, South Dakota to peruse the aisles of the Black Hills Stock Show. Vendors of all kinds attend and it’s a good time to see the new machinery, ideas, programs, and western lifestyle items. Need boots, saddles, horse trailers, jewelry, tractors, or side by side? Here’s your chance….

#TBT: As Time Goes By, v.2.0
This was first posted February 13, 2012. Boy. It’s difficult to blog without my camera anymore. *I* was ready for my dog walk/heifer checking/craftiness today… but I had a DEAD camera. Absolutely lifeless. No AED was gonna revive it. Sure, I had other cameras AT HOME… but that didn’t help out with today’s events. I…
Wordless Wednesday: Blue Elk
I decided to use Vernon’s photo of some elk on a cold and overcast day right at dark… For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go HERE.
Perfect
After all my work on the studio, it’s just not available in the winter. A few small electric heaters and a wood cook stove still take time to warm it up. Supplies that can freeze just can’t be left there. Sitting down to work on a project for only half an hour here and there…
Little Bits
A very happy birthday to Tess! A big “I Miss You” to my mom… (Second from the left… wasn’t she a looker?) And a very cold morning… -32* here and Daniel had -44*… our walk in the sunshine was still only 3* by afternoon, but at least it was sunny. And I should have worn…
Safe and Warm
The winter storm has hit, bringing us 5” of new snow, light breezes, and closed or warning roads across the Cowboy State. Yesterday, 44 vehicles were in a pileup on Interstate 80.

#TBT: Community, v.2.0
This was first posted January 27, 2012. After a trip to town, Vernon and I stopped by Ten Sleep School for a couple of high school basketball games. Oh, the memories that brings back! My kids played basketball and football and track… Small towns love their sports! To be part of the community… I really think you…
