I’m very excited! I’ve been working on details in the bathroom… sealing the grout, caulking, lining cabinets, and working on wood trim. Again, nothing much to share, but exciting enough to me to think I could take a REAL shower in my new bathroom in a few days! I ran out of caulk with 6″…

Self Promotion and Conflicted
As usual, you guys were exceedingly nice about my momentary lapse of confidence! I think this happens every fall… must be the lack of sunlight or something… But, sincerely, thanks for the encouragement from everyone! I’m doing better… 81 readers yesterday! I don’t know how you are counted… I spend too much time trying to…
About Winter…
Pop the cork on the champagne, I’m done with the tile in the bathroom! Well… I grouted today… there’s caulking to do… and the rest of the bathroom… But I am willing to celebrate NOW!!! Grouting was interesting… but I was happy with the way it turned out. It’s the one detail where I went…
It’s… Green!
Well, the snow hasn’t hit yet, and the Riverton Weather radar is down… so I don’t have precision radar… but I guess it is due sometime tonight. Yecch. After riding yesterday BY MYSELF IN GORGEOUS WEATHER WITH JUST DALLY (and some ornery 3 year old cows)… snow and low temps will be hard to adjust…
A-nother Picture of Progress
I am SOOO amaaaaaazingly sssssssssslow… It was an entire week ago that I gave you a peek at my bathroom tiling progress. I’m not that much farther… If I had to pay me by the hour… I’d be mighty mad by now! But progress is progress! Slap those last two tiles on the end wall, insert…
A Picture of Progress
Finally, a picture of progress. Before we started remodeling the bathroom… it was classic 1950’s style. Cool mint green *fake* tile… With a neato fishy on the rear wall! Although there was a shower curtain, notice there is no REAL shower. Remember those you could hook onto the tub spout? Yeah. The tub was original…
Chances Are…
I braved the tiling again… this time mixing just one cup of water with the 2.3 cups of dry thin set. I’m writing that down, so that I don’t forget the ratio! I don’t know why it’s not written on the bag, but it isn’t. The consistency of peanut butter… Thanks to internet research, I…
My New Toy
My new toy… no, it’s not a Wii… (people tell me I should want one, but I don’t think so) no, it’s not a new iPod… (I’m very happy with my “ancient” gum stick iPod) no, it’s not an iPad… (though THAT is on my Big Wish List – the one that I’ll get if…
Fame and …
For those of you who don’t Tweet… or follow me on Twitter… or read the little update in the left hand sidebar… I gotta brag (again). My photo of the storm cloud that hit Ten Sleep made the front page of the local paper. Of course, I sent it to them… and the National Weather Service…
Indian Room – Finished!
OK… So maybe it’s only 95% finished… No curtains yet… No bedspread. Though I’m debating between a microsuede from Overstock.com or dyeing my own duvet cover… No baseboards… One little bare spot I’m looking for a photo frame to fit… It’s gone from peachy walls to warm camel… and now it’s decorated! I AM SO EXCITED!…
I’m Cooking… in More Ways than One!
My mother was a great cook. My sister is a fantastic cook. Me. Not so much. I do it because it is part of the job description for ranchwife… like filing cards in the card file when I was a librarian… or paperwork when I was an archaeologist… there’s always part of the job that…
Indian Room and Q & A
I keep returning to the Mills place to paint and clean and arrange. Finally today the end is in sight for my “Indian” room. Although I’m a proud member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, my Indian collection is pretty much a reflection of the high plains area of Wyoming. I had made a list…
