This was first posted September 12, 2011. About three weeks ago, Vernon’s four wheeler started making “funny sounds”. Honestly, I don’t know *what* was the problem. I am NOT mechanically inclined.

#TBT: Shipping Day Scenery, v.2.0
This was first posted September 4, 2011. We headed back up the mountain to ship those cows marked as “open”, or not pregnant… as well as those cows we “mouthed out”, checking for teeth loss due to old age. The ol’ girls have done us pretty good. We had to sell our last two red…
#TBT: I’m Lichen It, v.2.0
This was first posted August 28, 2011. I’m needing to finish up some details on my projects so I can count them as completed. The last thing needed in my bathroom is the decorative “chair rail” that I originally hoped to cover in fossils. Alas and alack! my fossil stash is too poor to use…
#TBT: Expanding Family Portrait, v.2.0
This was first posted August 19, 2011. The other day, when Brandon finished his metal Centennial sign, we decided to take some photos.

#TBT: Shopping in Wyoming, v.2.0
So sorry about the failure to post lately, GoDaddy/Wordpress finally figured out my technical difficulties, and I’m good to go once again… I must just need to pay them more money every two years or so!

This was first posted August 2, 2011. We moved the last of our cattle that are down low to our Mesa Pasture early this morning. Dally was my dog of the day… and it wasn’t very long before she was soaking wet from the heavy dew that lay on the grass and in the willows….

#TBT: No Challenge, v.2.0
This was first posted July 22, 2011. Challenges come in all forms and sizes. My last challenge was one I did not relish. Since my pocketbook is too tight for me to hire the vet to drive the 47 miles to my house from his clinic… I was faced with driving my Durango full of…
#TBT: En Garde, v.2.0
This was first published July 17, 2011. Someone said to me the other day, “Isn’t it ironic the overabundance of water this spring has cost us the shortage of water this summer?” Translation:Our irrigation of our fields is now JUST STARTING. Vernon and the boys have worked and worked and hired LARGE excavators to repair…
#TBT: ”Stay Tuned”, v.2.0
This was first published June 30, 2011. Now THAT was interesting! Eight of you were kind enough to take part in my little informal survey… and then I was stuck trying to figure out how to carry on this discussion/question/answer/survey thing. I hope you find this interesting and not a lecture and/or too boring. Randy…

#TBT: ”Greatest Inventions”, v.2.0
This was first published June 19, 2011. About 3 am, I felt yukky. About 4 am, Vernon awoke to get ready to ride and gather our steers (who sell tomorrow on Northern Livestock Video Auction). About 4:45, he and Brandon left and I remained on the couch. Miserable and, now, guilty as well….
