If I had a grandchild I would have someone to get excited with me when a turtle is crossing the road and I slam on my brakes and rush out to save it’s life by taking her home and letting her go in my Turtle Kingdom. If our kids weren’t so selfishly living their […]

Last week while I was feeding my fish and looking for my new koi I had a little mishap. I was leaning over the edge of the pond dock when my iPhone 4S and Sony Cybershot fell out of my shirt pocket. Plop, Plop! Just like that. They sank to the bottom. I screamed. My […]

I ordered some fish on the Internet. Really. eBay to be exact. Not frozen. Real live, swimming-around-in-a-box, fish. Who ever heard of such a thing? Not ordinary fish. Fish with bling. Koi. I’ve been on a quest for the last 6 summers to get some in our pond. No success. It’s spring and I am […]

Things happen to me. I fancy myself a pretty good hand with a horse. I feel comfortable multi-tasking while riding. I’ve led pack-strings in the mountains of Wyoming. I’ve had cowboys let me hold calves with a rope while they doctor. You know …. western cowboy stuff. I’m used to riding a horse and letting […]

Sometimes I can’t find my horses. It’s not that this ranch is so big. It’s not. I think they deliberately hide from me. They stand there laughing in groves of trees as Puncher and I whip by on the 4-wheeler 3 times. They know I’m looking for them. I check on them every couple of […]

I follow a spiritual program that (among other things) asks me to �pause when agitated or doubtful and ask for the right thought or action.� I�ve had much practice with this spiritual principle living out here in the �toolies� with T.H. Until recently this spiritual discipline has been solely dedicated to T.H. since he is […]

My horse shoer broke up with me yesterday. I’m really busted up about it. In fact, I’m devastated. If I still drank, I’d be drunk right now. This is the most upsetting break up I’ve ever experienced.And I’ve been married three times. (My perspective may be off slightly due to all that drinking) It’s not like I’m […]

The Black “Baldie” Cow. They are “snowflakes” wrapped in cowhide. From afar they look the same. Up close, no two are alike. They are a work of art. Sometimes the big snowflakes have little snowflakes. That look just like their mamas. Thus negating my snowflake theory. Did anyone ever tell you….. “You look just like […]

In the Cowgirl World, a “Saddle Series” is a series of horse competitions over time with the winner taking home a new trophy saddle. Barrel Racing, Cutting, Ranch Sorting. All western events have them. The saddles are highly prized in the horse kingdom. I’ve never won one. I may buy one on EBay someday. My […]
