A view of home from a distance!

I was amazed how easy it was to spot our farm and home from up on the Big Horns. The farm is the yellow you see in the center of the picture. The pivots really show up and the dried corn makes a splash of sunlight on the desert. With a telescope we could even see the house. It was awesome!

Chocolate Covered Raisins

Tonight I am eating these raisins and with each one I eat I think of my sister, LaRae. Chocolate covered raisins were one of her favorite treats!. I often think of my childhood days and recall how sweet it was to have a big brother and two big sisters to watch over me!

Halloween Fun

Our little spider is thirsty. We were blessed this past weekend to have our Buffalo gals with us to celebrate Halloween. Jake was with his family hunting. We were delighted to see how much fun our little Grace had at the Harvest Party!!

Halloween day has arrived and Grace is curious about the pumpkin carving and happy to see her Mom and Grandpa Ken working hard so she will have her very own. Her Nana Francie brought the pumpkin home from school just for Grace!!! It was raised on the school's very own Buffalo Ranch.

Grace checks out the pumpkin her mother and Grandpa carved for her and thinks the witch is looking good!!!

Grace found that sometimes it just feels good to sit down on a bale of straw and let her Grandma take a picture of her! Halloween parties can be very exhausting!!!

Grace is fishing for treats with the help of her mother, Jill. Jill and I worked together to turn our little princess into a very sweet spider for the evening. The costume we sewed turned out really cute and fit her like it was made just for her!!!

Grace is becoming well known for her funny faces! We know where she gets them... Just watch her mother for a little while. Example.... what a powerful thing!

We attended the Greybull Harvest Party held each year in Greybull. It is always well attended and lots of fun! Grace and Jill enjoyed the Cake Walk and their number was the winning number!! It wasn't long before Grace was doing the cake walk without Jill's help. She didn't care if she was on a number... or even going the right way, she just kept moving and had a wonderful time!!!

My Mighty Hunters

Grace and Jill are up bright and early to begin the days hunt. Grace spent two days and two nights in the Big Horn Mountains with her Mom and Dad before going to Greybull to stay with her PaPa and her NaNa.

Sister Time

Ken and I went to Salt Lake to attend General Conference. We enjoyed the sessions. Like thousands of others we walked to conference in the rain on Sunday morning. Having suffered a terrible drought I don't complain about rain but see each droplet as one of the treasures of heaven. Those experiencing floods view the rain from a different perspective but different trials bring different perspectives as we pas through the trials of life. We loved the opportunity to see Cheryl and her family. We are always welcomed warmly and have so much fun together. I had taken apples with me to Utah and we made apple crisps. One with and one without sugar. (Ken gets a special one made just for him!!) The Crisps were delicious. It is such an Autumn recipe to make and of course we used my Mom's recipe. Just Wonderful!!



Cheryl has her home decorated so cute for the fall and harvest season! Here we stand with "Johnathan and Melba". This is in memory of the wonderful neighbors we grew up with as children.
