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….

#TBT: ”Sleep Well”, v.2.0
This was first published June 3, 2011. Well, while my rhubarb cobbler is bubbling away, I’ll say a few words… Time is tight with the branding set for tomorrow. I flew to town this morning and bought groceries, returning after lunch and I’ve been cooking ever since! Of course, this year I’ve had…
#TBT: “Infrastructure”, v.2.0
This was first posted May 24, 2011. A Lesson On Infrastructure. “Infrastructure is the basic physical and organizational structures needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.” Even to me, it was very obvious that this bridge had sustained damage in the floodwaters of a few days ago. Where before…
#TBT: Not Even, v.2.0
This was first posted May 20, 2011. Tonight the library hosted Glenda Bell aka Calamity Jane. Her performance/discussion was lively, interesting, and enlightening. However, since we’re on Day 349,710 of RAIN… only 11 people showed up. We had originally planned an ice cream social on the lawn outside the library. Monday, we were smart enough…
#TBT: Teams, v.2.0
This was first posted May 15, 2011. The guys rose early and went to help a neighbor brand. I slept in. I admit it. I slept in. Until 7:30 when my eyes flew open in a panic! What was I forgetting???? Nothing. Nada. I rolled over and grabbed my library book and SPENT THE NEXT…
#TBT: Dying Campfire, v.2.0
This was first published May 3, 2011. Plus some updated commentary at the end for you to read… My day started early with an ambulance call, so I’m ready for bed! After my return home this morning, the rest of the day seemed very uneventful, and yes, I start to worry about my topic for…
#TBT: ”Stupid Turkeys”, v.2.0
This was first posted April 28, 2011. These are turkeys. Trust me. I know. They are NOT bulls in the neighbor’s place… they are Vagrant Delinquent Escapees from our pasture where they rightfully belong eating OUR green grass, not the neighbor’s. Therefore, they are Turkeys with a capital T. Especially since Vernon had already repaired…
#TBT: ”Done”, v.2.0
This was first posted April 25, 2011. Just to show that some things change and some things remain the same… Well, well… We did it. Four trips to Shaw Pasture with varying amounts of cows and their calves and our yearling steers. It is a LONGLONG trip with baby calves. I puttered around…
#TBT: ”My Saddle Hurts”, v.2.0
This was first posted April 15, 2011. I’m paying for my winter of inactivity… ouchy. As we say out here… “My saddle hurts.” We sorted off some of our babies and their mommas and kicked them out onto green grass today… Three people. Three horses. Three dogs. I think we probably…
#TBT: Stockdog History, v.2.0
This was first posted April 9, 2011. Since it decided to rain today (starting off with a skiff of snow), Vernon did tractor work which left me to work on my house again. I’m getting my closets figured out and reorganized… pulling out a shelf here, adding it there, and moving the rods around. Repainting….
#TBT: Highway 2.0 Views, part 1 and 2, v.2.0
These were first published in March and April of 2011. Tonight you get a two for one! The thing I enjoy the most while traveling, is just to see how other people live. Now, granted… central Nebraska is not that far removed from central Wyoming… but I still noticed a few things. Like…
#TBT: Sex and the Country, v.2.0
This was first posted March 28, 2011. I almost didn’t post this, as I’ve shared it multiple times… but it makes me laugh… this and the few posts before and after. My trip to Nebraska for a dog breeding was memorable! (part two) So, I’d done the Matchmaker part… checking pedigrees and working…
