For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter… or seen my Twitter updates by checking this blog obsessively… you haven’t heard this story. Yesterday, we finished weighing, giving shots, and sorting the heifers about 5:45 pm. Daniel, my newly college “gradje-ated” son, had a meeting at 6:30 to renew his Red Card. That…

Redneck Birthdays
Birthday parties on our ranch might be a tad different than some “town” ones… Let’s see… Here the cake is cooked from scratch… with special thanks to s-i-l for sending some cream cheese from Casper (250 miles away) with Daniel’s girlfriend. Otherwise, I’d have had to drive 90 miles round trip because I’m a space…
Two Down
I don’t understand exactly how we got from here… to here… in such a short time! Amazing. The graduation ceremony was interesting… For some reason, I thought the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at UW would graduate a fairly large number of students. Compared to the other colleges… uh, nope… Not so much. Those…
Night Falls Softly
Although we did manage to accomplish a few different jobs today… we again decided to take a picnic supper out to enjoy the fairly nice evening. It’s been cloudy all day, but warm, and with Victoria and Matt here until tomorrow, it was time to enjoy a break. This time we went to the creek…
Willow Creek
I awoke to 2 inches of snow on the ground and still falling… a cup of coffee and some morning news and I looked up… the sun was shining… snow was melting. It was springtime again! True enough to Wyoming’s springtime, the wind was blowing… but *sunshine* is a glorious offering! I have worked off…
Journey
I’ve returned. This journey was a difficult one, and I thank all of you who wrote, sent best wishes, and prayed for my mother and I. I found it inspiring and amazing that this little blog, set in the middle of nowhere, could receive the generous amount of good hearted wishes it did. When I…
Blessings to You
I hope the next few days are filled with family and friends… joy and patience… long hugs and sweet kisses… the touch of a gentle hand… laughter… love… I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas. *************************************************************************** For you, my friends, I have to let you know… this may be my last blog for…
So Long, Sadie!
Well, although little bitty Sadie will continue to grace my house for the next few days… She’s no longer my pup. Sadie gets to go to live with Matt Davis in Kaycee, Wyoming. I know, without a doubt, I’ll see Sadie frequently as she grows and ages. That will be a joy, seeing one of…
A Tip of the Hat
When I think up things to write about here… I focus on our ranch activities… my dogs… scenery… wildlife… and Wyoming. But I can’t seem to let this one subject go simply because it doesn’t fall into any of those categories. My father’s 80th birthday would have been yesterday… Except he’s been gone from this…
Gather Together
Today you might have gathered together… with friends and family… around the dishes filled with good food… You drank your fill as well… Though you consumed so much food and drink… it was still difficult to leave the table… It took some self control to abandon the culinary delights… Sometimes it would just be better…
Fresh Air
If you were observant… you might have noticed on my twitter update… that I had taken the weekend off and gone to Casper… After updating puppy photos on Friday… and swiftly packing… I threw my bags in the Durango… asked Lucas to jump in… filled up with gas… and drove off. Why? Because my kids…
Boys Interrupted
My boys came home last night… That was the reason I wrote my entry EARLY last night… So that I could visit with them after they arrived last night… Too bad I forgot to hit the “publish” button last night… I’ll blame it on the boys interrupting me! Tonight Daniel is working on his laptop… It…
