#TBT: Panic and White Knuckles, v.2.0
This was first posted December 3, 2010. I don’t know if I should title this entry, “Panic” or “White Knuckles”. After falling asleep while trying to watch the National Finals Rodeo… I awoke to a dog’s snuffling nose at my bedside. Grabbing ten more seconds of warmth, I tossed back the covers and…
#TBT: , Chapstick Day, v.2.0
This was first posted November 21, 2010. You don’t live long in Wyoming before you find out you NEED chapstick. It’s dry here. Humidity comes and visits, but rarely stays… at least not in the intensity that it exists around other parts of the country. So, there are two things I ALWAYS…
#TBT: “Good Friends Test”, v.2.0
This was first posted November 12, 2010. My apologies for missing a post yesterday, that’s the first time since… gee… I can’t remember. Seems like I’m here everyday! I had a full day, and arrived home at midnight. Midnight is not a good time to create a last minute entry….

#TBT: Water Is Flowing, v.2.0
This was first posted October 29, 2010. It’s that time of year… Snow has fallen on the mountaintops. Drifts lay across the roads. Any cattle left up high are finding their own ways down the mountain… or cowboys are bundling up and riding in the snow. Been there. Done that….
#TBT: “That Order”, v.2.0
For those of you new to the blog, every Thursday I repost a blog entry. Today’s entry is from October 18, 2010. It musta been a Monday today. Sometimes the only way to know what day it is around here is by what you end up watching on television when you collapse into the…
#TBT: Doing Ranch Work, v.2.0
This was first posted October 17, 2010. I know! I know! Seems like the past week has been full of hot air…balloons and me promoting my watercolors for auction .“I thought you lived on a *ranch*! Where’s the ranchy stuff?” <NOTE: I said ranchy NOT raunchy!><I know the difference!> Well, in between hot air balloons and hunting…
#TBT: Life Out There, v.2.0
This was first posted October 7, 2010. Even though the day was gorgeous, and should have been spent constructively… as in finishing the last bit of tiling, or mowing a lawn, or working in my studio… I chose instead to go to Ten Sleep and roam the streets. All kidding aside, yes, Ten…
#TBT: “His Job”, v.2.0
This was first posted September 27, 2010. The last part of the afternoon, we weighed our weaned calves. They’ve been in the corral, at least this bunch has, going through Mommy-withdrawal. That expresses itself in bawling for three or four days… and then they are over it. Before we turn this bunch out on…
#TBT: Playing in the Dark, v.2.0
This was first published September 23, 2010. Playing in the dark… WAAAAAYYY back when… I was the youngest kid on the block, so I didn’t get to join in much… but we played a game called Sardines. It is the opposite of Hide and Seek, kinda, sorta. In the dark, with boundaries…
#TBT: “A Picture of Progress”, v.2.0
This was first published September 17, 2010. 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…
