In with the new… I hope you all have a wonderful new year, this coming year… 2014… my father would have been 100 hundred years old if he were still alive, and also my mother.. hard to believe she has been gone for 10 years and he for 20…. 100 years ago in June, myContinue reading “Out with the old..”

Not real bad for this time of the year, but still… Got the team and a saddle horse shod up with some shoes that won’t slip on ice… Laramie came and did it.. Cindy took off and took Spike to the vet as he has been having a few problems… sounds like they got itContinue reading “Cool and chilly”

We had a wonderful day yesterday… all the children and grandchildren,Dusty and Tristin and Fr Jim came over after Mass and he’s hardcore, he hug with us until late into the evening! Lot’s of music and laughter! Fr Tyler is still here this morning… I have a new dog, a female that chance and hopeContinue reading “Happy 2nd day of Christmas!”

Just as every morning when we awake, the Lord has blessed us… this time, with a power outage… Most probably would not see this as a blessing, no electricity.. how are we going to see, heat our homes, do the endless chores that must be done? For me it gave me pause… there was noContinue reading “A Blessing..”

Somewhere below zero this morning… my new Chinese made thermometer had some snow on it so i couldn’t read it very well… Rod Nelson posted it was 40 below up in NoDak where he lives.. that is chilly, I don’t care who you are…I finally bundled up and went out to feed and it wasn’tContinue reading “A touch of fall in the air…”

Chance and Tate went out on the miserable day yesterday and ended up getting some cows bought at a fair price… much higher than usual, but then every thing is higher and sounds like they got these bought right for what they are… so I went and fed this morning and then stopped at PunkinContinue reading “Haulin’…”

Well, it’s in the books for this year. I went up Friday afternoon so we could rehearse…had a great bunch and we worked at getting it right late into the evening, then on Saturday at 1 pm we kicked it off… had a nice crowd, almost all the seats were full… then I went toContinue reading “Cowboy Christmas Ball”

Cindy’s car thermometer sez it’s 20 above… real good brisk wind coming from the west northwest…I lured the cows into the corral with some hay, locked them in, saddled up ol’ Beav and sorted off the butcher steer and the little bull… well, actually I had to rope the little bull as he wouldn’t sortContinue reading “Another wintry day”
