The internet has been kind and given me friends across this nation and allowed me to keep up with others I’ve met in my past. It’s a blessing to have that ability, especially when I think of those pioneer women who left their families behind to travel west, knowing they’d probably never see or maybe…
A Spot of Tea
The Friends of the Ten Sleep Library sponsored guest speaker, Cathy Holman, Prairie Wife In Heels, for our second Spot of Tea event. With desserts by Linda Cooper, we gathered for friendship, laughter and a couple of tears. I had such fun, I came home after our “after party” and fell asleep! Obviously, I can’t…
Move Along
I’ll probably get back to some branding photos, or post some new since we’re trying to figure out when to squeeze another small branding in… but today, we moved some pairs from by my house to the home place. It was a chilly and blustery day that started with a skiff of snow on the…
#TBT: Cowboying is Complete, v.2.0
This was first posted April 23, 2012. We’re not quite there yet, we have a few more cows to get out and it’s definitely not 81* this year! My company left… and literally within minutes, Vernon handed off his horse to me, and I was back “on the job.” It was a tad hot to…

The steer calves get an extra ear tag… Mentors without (perhaps) realizing it… Hot irons are essential. Watchful mommas… While his dad applies the “A” part of the brand, his aunt helps with positioning and a reassuring hand on Quinlan’s shoulder. He could have used a few more rocks in his pockets! Since it was…
Branding Photos
Burton Construction was well represented! (My brother, sis-in-law, and nephew!)
Back to Branding
Well, sorry about the radio silence! I updated my version of WordPress which set off a mess of problems… oh, yay. However, since this has happened to me in the past, I didn’t panic, just knew I’d have to spend some time with GoDaddy to straighten things out. I tried using their automated bot to…
#TBT: The Titanic Event in Pictures, v.2.0
This was first posted April 14, 2012. I had so much fun doing this event, even if there weren’t an over abundance of attendees. Everyone received their copy of a ticket to the RMS Titanic, randomly giving them the identity of a real passenger. Crossing the gangplank, they read their background and went to the…

Rare
I can’t remember the last time I saw one of these. I tried to find my post about it but I had no luck. The rare, spiked snow porcupine. It must be coming out of hibernation.
Could Have Been So Easy
It was hot! 71 degrees today, if you can believe that. It felt like the 90’s because of the radical change that we haven’t had a chance to acclimate. Of course, we had to move cows today… Our “CATTLE ON ROAD” sign went out and we began to urge the mommas and babies onto the…
