Where I live always gets cold this time of year. I mean really cold. This morning it was 18 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), and it has now warmed up to 6 degrees above zero at 1 p.m. Today I was having a conversation with someone about a diesel station wagon we had in 1987. There … Continue reading Wax cold
We got some snow last night here in the Colorado Rockies. The fresh, light fluffy kind that is called powder. I'm sure a lot of employees are calling in “sick” today, so they can enjoy a powder day.

Can you imagine the chaos? Little Jimmy opens a gift and gets a tie. Mom opens a … Continue reading Intended Gift

I usually do about one post a week, but five weeks ago, we got our stud dog boy puppy who is now 13 weeks old. Over Thanksgiving my husband went back to the … Continue reading Puppy Inspired
I get so much from old Western TV shows and movies that inspire these blog posts. (Culturally outdated, indeed!) The latest one, featured a wagon train of approx. 300 people traveling to California. A husband and wife join up with the train part way through the trip. When some of the women on said train … Continue reading Holier than thou
This post contains another phrase from the Wild West, being dry gulched. To be dry gulched is to be ambushed with the intent of killing or severely mauling.
