My brother, Ross, called me yesterday. I had been trying to reach him for a while just to check in. Turns out he was in Africa for 3 weeks hunting something. (Yawn) I told him I would have to call him back because I was “at work”. He burst out laughing and said “What happened? […]

Wednesday I went to court. They granted the divorce. Even though I wanted it, I was surprisingly sad after it was over. Sitting in the hallway of our little courthouse with all the local thugs going to drug court. Actually that was the fun part. Listening to them and all their problems. Watching lawyers […]

A Mirage I’ve lived here for 8 months now. About a month ago I discovered this pond. Which is about 100 yards from the front door of my cabin. I’m not the most observant person in the world. In my defense, I knew there was “a pond” over there. I just didn’t know it […]

Cow Lick
I turned these two goof-balls out in a big pasture with my friend’s heifers. (Heifers are young cows that have not had a calf yet…. for you ranch virgins) Being that these guys are “cow horses” she did comment …. “They won’t chase the heifers will they?” I’ve been asked that before. And it’s […]

New Normal
We finished all that moving last week. And I hurt. Physical pain is a welcome relief. It can be fixed with a couple Aleve and day’s rest. Life goes on. I’m actually quite pleased with myself. I’m stronger than I thought I was. I do wonder , though. What’s my new normal going to look […]

We Can Do It
I had a dilemma….. Had … past tense. My things were on the 3rd floor of the “McMansion-in-Progress” (M.I.P.). I needed to move them out of the M.I.P. There were no stairs. Apparently no stairs were forthcoming according to the F.T.H ( Future Trophy Husband … of someone else) nor were any ideas forthcoming of how to move my […]
