As you may have gathered from my last post, I’m an AUNTIE! Auntie Rachel. I’ve never been an Auntie before. Although, I am happy to report I have several lovely Aunties as examples. So I know what is required of Aunties from day one. Pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. Snacks. Treats. Homemade rolls. Sleepover’s. …
Because it was my 34th birthday, and because we didn’t draw elk tags this year, and because my little sister just had a BABY, I took a road trip to Laramie, Wyoming. Just me and Addie and a cooler full of snacks on the open road for 16 hours. Well, we stopped in Raton, New…
Road Trip! There is nothing quite as good as a road trip. Unless, it’s a road trip to see family and friends. That makes it even better! I was able to visit recently, a Pitcher Plant Bog. These are very unique. It takes a very special ecosystem to support these carnivorous plants. Addie and I…
On our pilgrimage out west we passed through the Land of Enchantment (New Mexico), Colorful Colorado, the Sooner State (Oklahoma), our destination, the Cowboy State (Wyoming). And of course, we began in the Lone Star State, Texas herself. Here my husband and I are, heading out. I may be the only elk hunter in history to…
Substitute. Substitute is a word I can not spell. It is one of those words I can barely get close enough to spelling correctly that my computer is able to decipher my meaning. But that is neither here nor there. As you read this I will be a good 30 miles from internet connections, cell phone service or…
There are fish nets and there are fishnets. One, a shady lady dons upon her thighs every weekend trying to catch a man or three, another type attempts to catch fish which you can cook and consume. There could be some debate on which type of net is more successful. Or more cost effective. However, I…
Hello Peeps! The Texas heat has been brutal, 106 the past few days and I’ve lost one hen to the temp’s already. So my family and I decided it would do us good to cool off a bit at a friends houseboat in Kentucky. We drove then walked, boated and floated about for a weekend.…
I have missed my blog and all my blogosphere friends these past couple of months, I hope to get back in the groove soon but only time will tell. Losing Stripe-Stripe was rough and today my darling cat, Agent Orange, has turned up missing. And he never misses breakfast. Never. Life in the country is rough…
Getting ready for yet another journey, I spent Wednesday scurrying about preparing and working to ensure everything went smoothly in my absence. However, Addie and I went for a quick walk and ride thru the forest in the early morning hours while the heat had not yet penetrated the canopy of leaves. It was very…
As a chicken who loves to travel I’ve been woefully coop-bound the last few years. Other than our annual elk hunting trip and a few weekend getaways I’ve not gone much of anywhere. This year I’m attempting to make up for it! The sweet lady I work for had a family reunion in D.C. last…
