Road Trip

On Tuesday last, my bride and I made a flying trip to Billings, almost on a whim. That is where I get all my leather for saddles and chaps from, mostly. I do have a couple neighbors who usually have some chap leather on hand and I can run up to their house and buyContinue reading “Road Trip”

Daring do!

Here is an old memory. We had been calving and were kicking some pairs out of the calving lot. There was about a foot of crusted snow on the ground. Dad had been feeding with the tractor and I was along to open and watch gates. My older brother was on a horse. I wasContinue reading “Daring do!”

Problem people

Last summer, we had a young man from a large city come and stay with us for a month. He was 16 and had never evidently done anything much of a physical sort. 16 and a half, as he was quick to tell you. And also he told everyone we came across his name andContinue reading “Problem people”

Brrrr!

I was hoping we were done with below zero temps. One thing about this area, if you don’t like the weather, stick around awhile, it will probably change!  I fed more hay than I wanted to so far this winter. And don’t tell me spring is almost here. By the calendar it is, but IContinue reading “Brrrr!”

Peace and Love

One of the most iconic and brutal scenes in a movie or television show is in Lonesome Dove when an Army Scout is trying to take a horse away from some young cowboys. One of the young men is holding on to the horse and won’t let go, while an old, crusty Army scout isContinue reading “Peace and Love”

If it weren’t for bad luck…

Last night about midnight, or would that be early this morning…, anyway, about midnight, Gus and Sam came roaring in the front door to tell us Chances house was on fire. The boys were sleeping there while Chance and Ada slept up here in our house. Ever since Chance broke his wrists he has beenContinue reading “If it weren’t for bad luck…”

Lies, and damned lies.

I have always hated a liar. I am not talking about someone who is good at BS’ing, but a liar. I always said, I hate a liar worse than a thief. At least with a thief you know they are going to try and steal from you. But you never know if a liar isContinue reading “Lies, and damned lies.”

Stockshow time!

Of course, by the time you read this, it will be over. When I was young, the Denver Stockshow was the place to be this time of the year. Dad and I talked of going, so we could see the bull sales and the rodeo. Of course, we never did. But, some friends and IContinue reading “Stockshow time!”

Count your blessings 2

Well, as I told you, our son had broken both wrists last week. This is the saga, continued.  We took him back to the Hills and they did surgery. Wow, to look at the x rays they sure used a lot of screws or nails or what ever!  The one wrist, looks like a board someContinue reading “Count your blessings 2”

Count you blessings.

I have a son who used to do carpentry work. Seeing as there are so few cows around here in the winter, now that the drought forced us to sell most of the cows, he decided to go back to doing carpentry work. Found a job with a good guy and he has been buildingContinue reading “Count you blessings.”
