This is a sweet little Mother’s Day Story from Mother Nature herself. When Puncher was a puppy, I brought home a stray Mama Cat from our overcrowded shelter. It was love at first sight. Puncher and Mama Kitty were inseparable. She beat up my other dogs regularly but she loved Puncher. She taught Puncher that cats are […]

Last fall I discovered my talent as a “Snapshot-ographer”. I even blogged about it RIGHT HERE. Now I am taking my craft to a whole new level. I call them “Hip-Shots”. Basically I lack ample coordination to focus and shoot whilst simultaneously paying attention to my my duties of assisting TH with the cattle. I could get wacked by a steer. So I hold my […]

Almost everyday I go out to catch up Paint and Pardner bring them in. They are out in the wheat pasture south of the house. Even if I don’t ride I like to tie them up for awhile and mess with them. It teaches them patience and keeps Paint from eating 24 hours a day. He is […]

This is a very philosophical topic. Too much or not enough? It is right up there with “Is the glass half-full or half-empty?” I think a person is one or the other. No matter how hard I try I seem to remain a half-empty person while T.H. is a half-full person. You would think this […]

Very early yesterday morning I got all dressed up to meet my friend in town and drive to Wichita for a luncheon and fashion show at a Country Club. Woo Hooo! A girly day. Happy Happy! I drove out of the ranch about 7:30 am. It takes 25 minutes to get to town. I was all dressed up, county […]

On the west end of the ranch, T.H.(Trophy Husband) has a high fence area with a small elk herd. It’s a couple hundred acres of very rugged terrain with lots of grass and trees and hills and two creeks. The fence is about 8 ft. high. It is for trophy hunting of “exotic” type game animals. He […]
