If there’s one thing I did when I was growing up, it was growing up at the county fair (and the district fair and the state fair….). I started showing sheep the summer I turned 15 and ended my showing career when I was 21, the oldest you can be (in FFA it is 4…
You would think I might do these posts in a specific order… you know by given date or whatever, but that’s just not my style. So yesterday you learned what a Thursday evening looks like for us, then I promised you Friday evening but instead let’s jump forward to Sunday shall we? It only sounds…
Growing up I just knew we had red cows. As I got older I knew they were Santa Gertrudis cattle. But from there I got to wondering how my family decided upon this breed. There are lots of breeds of cows out there, the most popular that most people know is Angus because you’ll see…
So I feel like Christmas (Christmas Eve) was a whirlwind this year. Not only did it cyclone in but dang, it went away as fast as it came in :(. That makes me sad. I was a bit of a scrooge this year and I don’t really know why. Anyway we woke up at 7am…

If you remember back last fall, my parents made a middle of the night trip to Stillwater with Squirty and then 2 days later dad, hubby and I made a mad dash back to Stillwater with Mini Me trying to save him. We were able to save Mini Me, especially since the few days prior…
Sunday morning when we got up, Tbug, hubby and I decided to go over to my parents to ride horses. A lovely crisp Sunday morning…. Let’s just say my feet got a little LOT cold. In fact, I was sitting on the fence for a little bit and when I got down to jump on…
