This post has taken sometime to write. One, because of the pain in heart left when two of our beloved animals received their angel wings. Don’t get me wrong, I rejoiced that they received their wings and are no longer in pain, but the hole left in our hearts was and still is very...

No body said it would be easy, no body said it would be this tough either, Job hunting is not for the weak of heart.  You have to have alligator tough skin and duck feathers for job hunting in this day and age. I remember when I was job hunting 20 (cough cough) years...

I don’t really blog about Zeke.  When I think of Zeke these are the words that come to mind: Quiet, Patient, Easy-going, loveable, rock-steady, precious,  beautiful. He is just Zeke….I can’t explain it but he is such a good guy. We call him our rainbow child because it seems he changes colors like a chameleon...

I posted sometime back about our petty cash fund aka The Chicken Account.  This Chicken has really helped us to save money.  How you ask?  Rather than running to the ATM every time we need extra cash we get it from our Chicken.  A couple of dollars here and a couple of dollars there...

Last Saturday was quite a day here at the ranch.  We had to move 2 round bales.  Now these aren’t just any ole round bale.  These are huge 12o0 lb round bales and well they aren’t really round anymore.  They have a huge flat spot which makes rolling them very difficult.  Did I say...
