As you’re reading this, I’m in Casper. I’ve returned to my mom’s house for a special occasion. My brother and sister-in-law now live in “Southfork”, as my dad named it. <Any guesses to what his favorite TV show was way back when?> Anyway, tomorrow we’ll be participating in the Jerri Burton Memorial Garden Walk. Some…

Where the Laughter Remains
So we made that 6 hour car trip to Laramie… pretty much exactly like last year… except… It was Brandon graduating, not Daniel. We didn’t try to do it all in one day (who’s getting smarter?) The windmill farm is now complete. We met someone infamous (if you’re a Wyoming Cowboy fan). (OK, FYI, this…
3 For 3
I’ve been gone. Thanks to a scheduler on my blog posts, you probably didn’t even miss me! Today has me catching a cold and sore and tired from my trip. So I’m cheating again. I’m going to write when I feel better again, and right now isn’t it! But here’s my reason for my trip….
Brandon’s Day
It’s Brandon’s Day. I’ll explain why tomorrow! **** May 7, 2010 Indian Room and Q & A May 7, 2009 Gardening Dogs May 7, 2008 Mountain Trip
My Easter Gift
We’re at that stage… My kids are too old to decorate eggs for Easter… even my pysanky is for me… no one joins in. Their nice Easter baskets sit gathering dust in the basement. I’ve always tried to keep Easter going, laying trails with candy that they’d track down and find some little gift inside……
Brudders
Well, over at that famous supposedly pioneer lady’s blog… she has a photography contest about “Brothers” this week. Aha! Between my two boys… I *KNOW* I have some good shots (and memories). Like the time they were toddlers and were playing in the mud and got their boots STUCK in the muck… and screamed for…
Wordless Wednesday – “Marvel Photos”
This will be a slightly un-Wordless Wednesday… For my post yesterday, I didn’t have these available… but now I do… This is my marvel. Dandy. As my baby. As my son. As a man. Please forgive me for the next few days… I shall be computerless and therefore, blogless! However, I shall share photos of…
Marvel
As I sat here at my computer and watched our “Calf Cam” over the internet, I marveled. Oh, not at the technology, although its seemingly “magical” powers are astounding… but at the man on the screen. I tweeted about him… step by step… as he loaded a heifer in the chute… struggled with a…
Red Dirt of Home
Daniel and I made a flying trip to Billings yesterday. He’d have rather done *anything* else… but he made the proper decision to have his wisdom teeth pulled. Poor guy. He’s puffy and definitely not his cheery regular self… Been there/done that. I had little over an hour to kill in a city with manymany…
Happy Girl
My help was requested this morning, so I found myself driving the tractor and even pitching a little hay. It was a VERY nice morning… in the 20’s… so that means 50 degrees warmer than the other day! Plus, driving the tractor also means *heater* and *radio*. Koosh life. <How do you spell koosh? cush?…
The Tea Party Snowman
I caught the guys playing on the way to their pickups. The fresh snow was WET… a springlike snow… and irresistible! All three boys started rolling a ball… and met by the tire swing. Unfortunately, the top ball was a crackhead and he was quickly dispatched. Neverfear… Daniel quickly rolled another one! Sticks were quickly…
Remembering in the Quiet
Wow! Here I’ve been sitting on this story because I thought it would only be of interest to my family… and boy, was I wrong! I’m glad so many of you thought it was touching and fun listening to that old-time gospel music. Maybe next time I need to make a slide show, I’ll use…
