When you can get up every morning and do what your heart desires, every day is a holiday. When you periodically find cows in your yard, every day is a holiday. When you see smiling kids doing what they enjoy, every day is a holiday. Ty, Julissa (our niece), and Kara (our summer intern) Kelsey [...]
If it were not for Amazon.com, I think my life would be a complete loss. Well, okay, not a complete loss, but since we do live miles and miles from town, and UPS, as well as FedEx deliver to our door, it makes things a LOT easier. Forget to buy something in town that can [...]
We’ve all heard them- the little dittys: Don’t sweat the small stuff. Be the bigger person. Don’t let that person (insert name) and their (insert action) affect you. I do my very best to lead a stress free life. I try to stay level headed and calm and do what is going to keep me [...]
Well not really, but this week’s Spin is about roles, and I figured what a better way to get your attention than with a title like that, right? I am a woman; a friend; a sister; a daughter to parents and God; a wife (sort of!) and step mother; a best friend; a cowgirl; a [...]
I realize I’ve been absent from the weekly Spin Cycle that Jen over at Sprites Keeper moderates, because, frankly, it’s springtime here in South Dakota, and that means that I am an otherwise BUSY, busy, cowgirl.

As is per usual for this week’s Spin Cycle, I procrastinated and waited until the morning it was due to write it and turn it in. This week’s topic is on things you can’t live without. I guess I wouldn’t even get this done if it weren’t for Father Time. The smart ass in me [...]
I don’t know that I’ve ever been completely stoked about Valentine’s day. I’m sure there were times in my life, when I was excited that my beau would feel the pressure to buy me flowers and getting them at school or work was always fun. And I do love how fresh flowers smell. Though, recently [...]
As usual, Jen has outdone herself and come up with yet another wonderful topic for the Spin Cycle. I have to tell you, this one really got me fired up. Ok. Well that might be a bit of an exaggeration. But regardless it’s a great topic. Not to offend anyone that may stop by to [...]
This week’s Spin is all about what makes us happy. So I figured a photo tour through the things that make me a happy(er) person than I already am were in order. Texas My mare Nora and favorite stud, Tom Nora’s Baby, Dolce If this doesn’t make you smile, you’re broken. Same with this one. [...]
