Chances birthday today. I think he’s turning 23. Maybe 24. Must be 23 as Tyler is 28 and Chance was born 5 years after him. Cindy and I went down to the local cafe last night after church, where they had a Valentines special. Prime Rib. It was good and there were lots of neighborsContinue reading “Feb 15”

Just another day. Wind blew a little and it got up in the upper 30’s. Had a couple different neighbors stop in, for one thing or another. My DIL Kass has an aunt who isn’t doing very well, so it sounds like I will go pick up Gabe tomorrow, to come stay with us whileContinue reading “Another one”

Tate and Kass and our or other two grandsons Gabe and Lige came here from Custer yesterday and spent the afternoon. they took some hamburger home with them.

Real nice day! Up in the fifties! It’s making all the snowdrifts that turned into ice flows into miniature glaciers and they are melting and digging and gouging along and getting way smaller.

Hooked up with friends from Iowa who were out here for the week end. We hauled a couple of them toContinue reading “Stockshow time”

Got rid of some smaller calves yesterday. A neighbor feller in college is leasing them for roping calves. I will get them back in June. Got another couple trailer loads of hay in too. Going to take a couple yearlings to the sale tomorrow and meet up with a friend from Wyoming there who isContinue reading “Another day”

30 years ago today, we got married. Man! Does anyone ever realize what an effect that will have on their lives? She always said she would give me a divorce after the children were raised but when I asked about it she told me I hadn’t suffered enough yet Too bad she forgot that theContinue reading “Anniversary”

My last post on the 21 was on the day of Tyler’s birthday. He called us from Rome where he is studying for a month. My birthday was the 13. Today, the 24 is our youngest grandson Sam’s first birthday. Big party tomorrow when his town relatives can come out to the ranch. The 27Continue reading “Birthdays”
