Scrolling through Facebook tonight… up pops my cousin’s comment. Fifty six years ago today, on patrol in the jungle of South Vietnam, he was gut shot. At eleven in the morning, he fell with the first bullet. I had to reply to him tonight. His story was a very vivid memory for my little nine…

Reminiscing XI
Stories by James Greet: Bubbles was a good mother, like most felines. One summer, she had her kittens up in the haymow. It didn’t take us kids long to find them. She decided that her babies were too young to be handled by curious kids, she must do something. Bubbles moved them, one at a…
Aftermath
I hope you had a great holiday. We certainly did! Then we met up again today, ate leftovers, and celebrated Reagan’s birthday a few days early. Happy birthday, Sunshine… I can’t remember if I shared this photo I took this summer or not… but it’s a pretty good capture of her!
Wordless Wednesday: Final Push
For a jigsaw puzzle of this final push through the gate, go HERE.
Photo Permission
Those of you who follow me on Facebook will have seen this already, but I know many of you aren’t on the Book of Face… so here ‘tis. I was contacted by Shannon Rollins and she asked permission to use a few of my Spring Creek Raid photographs in a video she and her husband,…
I Needed This
I needed this. All eight grandkids, my “kids”, two sweet daughters-in-law, and Vernon zipping around somewhere in the side by side. Gorgeous fall day. Horseback. Riding the mountain pasture to prepare to bring them off the top of the mountain tomorrow. “This God forsaken Land” by Juanita Leach has been rolling through my mind lately….
Special Day
Daniel and Brandon searched and found three wayward heifers. Vernon doctored a couple of sick calves. Victoria and I did household chores, mainly dishes after feeding everyone homemade pizza last night! Then this… Jaxon’s first home football game. As a fifth grader, he looks tiny next to some eighth graders! He loves the game, though,…
Last Day of Freedom
School starts tomorrow and I’m back to the library from 8-5 twice a week. We took the kids to the creek to enjoy the last day of summer break. While we weren’t working… the guys were. Vernon crosses the creek with the tractor and baler while Brandon soon follows in a different tractor to haul…
Summertime Fun
It was time for some summertime fun with cousins… All eight together with plenty of squealing and moss fights and splashing and swimming and floating and kicking and laughing and short lectures and timeouts and back at it again… hopefully, a good summertime fun memory.
Cousin Crew Fun
This mighty Cousin Crew was at the Ten Sleep Youth Rodeo today, doing a few different things with their horses. You’re used to seeing them on the trail, moving cattle… or chattering away. And when I finish editing all my movies, I’ll share this day with you. It’s good experience making their horses do things…
Display Ideas?
Vernon’s sister and brother-in-law have been here sorting through Johnny’s house. It’s a big undertaking as many people know. Johnny had cleared out much of his house, but inevitably, after living in one place for 70 years, there was still more to go through. This is one of the “winners” in the “found” objects. A…
Braiding in the Rain
I had all five grandkids today while the crew finished up AI-ing the heifers. I did have some outdoor plans they were going to help with, but I woke to the wonderful sound of rain dripping off the roof. It continued to drizzle most of the day which kept us all inside except for a…
