Pregnancy testing… The way to find out if a cow gets to stay or hit the road. We actually ended up just after lunch! Two o’clock or so… which is AMAZING for us! We’re so used to trying to do ALL of them at once, but splitting the herd in half, while it causes more…

A Few More Wedding Pics
For kicks… Tess’ gorgeous dress and her beautiful cowboy boots! Daniel, looking like an old black and white western moviestar… minus the sunglasses! All of us… minus the twins… their parents prefer not to post their photos online… and plus C. and T., Vernon’s sister and husband. Then just me and Vernon and the new…

First Horseride
Ah, man! 11:15 and I just finished my rodeo video! I enjoyed putting this together! Had to throw it together with Chris LeDoux’s “Horsepower” song… who else? I really like some of my photos… but you can’t get a good sense of them in this video. Maybe I should get *less creative* and just post…
Thick of Things
Ranch work continues around here… the break for the wedding was short but sweet! Yesterday we sold our steers on the Northern Livestock Video Auction over the internet. This is PAYDAY… and we were happy. Today we tagged the steers with their Angus Source Genetics eartag. We could do it at any time, but we…
More Pics
My small part… I hung pine garland on the deck to help block the view of the ski lift and parking lot… and put one on the head table with some wildflowers. I put some extra matching flowers from her bouquet on as a cake topper… Victoria and Cindy, Vernon’s sister, created wonderful wildflowers centerpieces…
So Amazing!
Well, we got it done! I’m thrilled to officially introduce to you… Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Greet! Photo courtesy of David Huber Photography! I’ve known Dave for years, he’s an ambulance guy AND we’ve stood shoulder to shoulder at plenty of 4th of July Rodeos! He does great work, which is VERY GOOD, because I…
Daddy’s Girl
What story should I tell? What memory do I share? Since 1982, he’s been gone. Eight months after my marriage, my father passed away in his sleep… His five year battle with cancer finally over. It was still a shock. He’d been doing well, a bit confused the last few days, and if we’d been…
Rare and Wonderful
I’ve been gone a couple of days… back to my hometown of Casper for a funeral. While sadness prevails, there is a joy in seeing relatives that I haven’t seen in YEARS. There are stories to tell and re-hash, and news of other relatives “lost” through distance and circumstance. I decided it was somehow strange…
Family Traditions
Johnny welcomes two of his great grandsons to the branding corral… the other two showed up later and I failed to get them all in a photo together! Of course, I couldn’t have shared it, but at least I would have HAD one…
Good Boys
The boys are gone, but Victoria and Matt came over to help in whatever way they could… The choice was made to move some more cows out to the BLM allotment. That left Megan and I to watch three little boys… and I let ’em go wherever they wanted! Mud puddle? You bet. Splash and…
A Grand Adventure
You should have seen it. Three little boys, ball caps listing in various directions, being pulled on a sled around and around the garage by Vernon. Snow? They didn’t need any stinking snow! It fact, it was a rather marvelous day! Giggles abounded. We couldn’t help ourselves! We adults couldn’t stand the cuteness of the…
