One-Year Anniversary

Today, it’s all about Cody and Cavalry: One year ago today, December 13, I was bouncing off the walls while waiting for Jerry Watkins of Pegasus Equine to arrive with my horses. Texts were exchanged, a couple phone calls, and I tried to take a nap ‘cause I knew I’d be up late. Long drive […]

Monday Again

I have to laugh when someone says, “Oh, it must be nice to live out in the woods and not have to do anything!” Well, yes, the first part of that is true, but the second part? Nope. I’m busy from the time I get up until I go to sleep. Okay, maybe until after […]

The Cabin

Here it is, folks, the finished product, only waiting on us having time to go furniture shopping—a sofa sleeper and a kitchen table, mostly. We did take a look up in Rolla, and then ended up ordering from Wayfair. It should be here in a week, so expect more pictures then! We started with the […]

One Year Ago

One year ago today, I received pictures from my hauler, Jerry, of our pending arrivals, Cody and Cav:   They left South Dakota that day and traveled to his place in Wisconsin; they stayed there almost a week while he recovered from several trips to ISPMB.   On December 13, about 10:30 p.m., Cody and […]

Sexual Harassment

Does anyone else think it’s odd that so many claims of sexual harassment are being filed these days, or at least people—usually men, so far—are being accused of this? I have no doubt that sexism is real and that harassment of any form is prevalent. But much like bullying, let’s stop and think about this. […]

Horsie, Horsie!

The last few days of nice weather for the year are passing awfully fast—actually looking forward to a cooler, cloudy day so I can rest up a bit. Notice I said “a” day; not weeks or months. I know, vain hope . . . besides working on the cabin, which mostly has been my husband […]

Cabin Progress, Cont’d.

Due to a general lack of motivation and energy, based on events yesterday—Monday, dontcha know—here are, once again, a few photos of the progress on the cabin in the last week:              

Where’s the Bourbon??

Let’s try this again. My first let’s-start-off-the-holidays post kinda sorta got derailed. Disclaimer: if you want holly jolly happy crap, you may as well stop reading here. Guess I’m old enough to remember those Norman Rockwell holidays—thanks a lot, Norman. Jerk. We all went to my great-grandparents’ house; after a few years, it fell to […]

Cabin in the Woods

With all the excitement that a new foal brings, I darn near forgot about the progress on our cabin! We’re at the last stages, all the little things that are pushing us toward the finish line, like outlet covers and trim and those few items that you either forget about for a bit or just […]
