If you are the rancher’s wife, you have probably faced the same problem as me. You and your man saddle horses and head out to do some chore on the ranch. Let’s say you are going to get a cow off the neighbors. Things seem normal, you ride out, hunt for...
Friday night is here and you’ve had plans all week for date night. You’ve anticipated it, picked out your favorite pair of jeans and now you’re ready to head into town. But as many of you know, sometimes things just come up. Things that, well, can’t be ignored. You...
Last year about this time, I found myself depressed! I wouldn’t say it was a clinical depression but one that left me feeling pretty blue. I tried to shake it off but couldn’t. I began to ask the question, “What the heck is wrong with me?” Picking up a...
He was tacking on a shoe. I’m packing the ice chest. Cold water, a lunch, just incase we get stuck down at headquarters. Probably because this has happened in the past and I’ve learned my lesson. I’ve learned many things since being out here and finding myself...
Did he really just send me a snap chat with the time 3:17 a.m. “ What, you should be asleep? Son, go back to bed!” Is what I thought. This wasn’t the first time he had sent it either. The picture was, as many times before, a shot of the arena, with his horse’s mane...

Obviously this weekend is Father’s Day. Dad’s everywhere will be honored, adored, given a tie or possible a new barbeque mitt but what if you could give him something more? What if you could treat dad…”LIKE A BOSS!” And not only this day but all year long. Now, I...
I finally found her, my first car. She was a 69 Ford Mustang. Obviously this isn’t her in the picture. I had washed probably hundreds of dogs for her. Saving each week when I got paid. Meanwhile I scanned the Auto Trader looking for a deal. I needed one because a...
He had written them down for me once before. Sayings….you know the kind that make you stop and think. I had lost the letter, with these saying, in a house fire. Almost ten years and upon my request, he wrote them down again. His name is Hank, my father-in-law….also...
