Snowed In!
We've had something like 12 inches of snow in the last 24 hours! Last night, when I let Sadie out into the yard, she looked like that dog burrowing through the snow in the video that's been circulating on the internet. It is literally three inches over Bernice's head....
The Computer Wars
Okay, so this technology stuff has pretty much got me whupped. 🙂 But once in a while, along the way, I win a small victory against one of these darn things.I've probably mentioned how much I love my iPod, and how I use it every day. Well, somehow, during the Great...
Cold, cold, cold!
On days like this, I wonder why I ever left Arizona. There is cold and there is COLD.As I mentioned a few days ago, the waterers out in the barn are not working because they're frozen. A plumber is coming today.And now the furnace doesn't seem to be working. It's 56...
Murphy’s Law
It's in full swing around here--Murphy's Law, I mean.I'm trying to write a book.I'm trying to do this on new computers, with Vista and Word 2007.This old dog is having a hard time learning new tricks!But you didn't log on to this blog to hear me complain. :)Maybe I...
Safe, Sound and Snowy!
I almost ended up spending last night in Seattle, as the Spokane airport was experiencing both fog AND snow. By the grace of God, I got back to the old hometown, and there was Tom, my friend and usual driver, waiting with a smile and an SUV. (And some muscle to lift...
Barn Goddess Heads Home
Today's the day. I'm going home--and even though I love Vegas (all right, I don't exactly love it, because you never know what time of day it is and things are pretty crazy, I DO love the rodeo)--I'm ready. I always enjoy all the good, salt-of-the-earth people who...
Cowboy Town/Tough Enough to Wear Pink
Cowboy Town is a state of mind, not a place. It's wherever old-fashioned manners are practiced--opening and holding doors, saying "Yes, Ma'am", tipping a hat, giving a hearty handshake and looking the other person straight in the eye when you do it. It's having your...
Vegas Daze
This ole cowgirl is getting a little punchy! I'm used to keeping pretty early hours, on both ends of the day. Now, I have to have a wake-up call so I don't sleep until noon!Yesterday was a full day. Having already hit CowboyChristmas, over at the LV Convention Center,...
Still in Vegas–I think
I wrote yesterday morning, here in my room, then took a welcome break and made a run over to the Las Vegas Convention Center, to take in one of several Cowboy Christmas type shows. Given my usual shopping M.O. at this event, I behaved myself pretty well--one...
Today’s Report from Vegas
I'm still a little hoarse from all that cheering last night at the rodeo, but now that I've had my coffee, and a room-service breakfast is on its way, I'm rarin' to go.No goin' anywhere, though, until I finish the chapter I promised my editor.Once the pages are...
Found in Las Vegas
Tonight, I'm back in touch with my Inner Cowgirl. :)Thanks to my good buddy, Steve Miller, of Montana Silversmiths, I was able to attend the rodeo. It was exciting, as rodeos generally are. Brooks and Dunn sang the opening song, "Cowboy Town", and the arena...
Lost in Las Vegas
Well, I'm sitting on the plane flying down here on the 4th, and I get to thinking, why am I making two trips? That's crazy.So, when I get to the hotel, those folks are kind enough to change my reservations. I'm good right through to the 12th.I went and did Les...
