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!”

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”

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.”

I have been having problems with this blog and think I finally have it figured out. Not sure if anyone even tries to read it anymore, but I am gong to try and post more often. Please leave me a note if you are reading it and also your thoughts. Thanks. I got to thinkingContinue reading “New Year 2023”

We have had some interesting weather. Some seem to think Mother Nature has been off her meds! Seems normal to me, looking back at past things I have written down and saved.  Many are calving and fighting the cold and enjoying the warmer temps. As I write this we have a cold south east windContinue reading

Ain’t been writing in here for a spell. I do have a good excuse. See, I was on this bronc, trying to gather cattle on hard icy ground. This ol’ jughead I was ridings was pretty bad about stumbling and would break in two with me pretty often. I was trying to gather a bunchContinue reading
