Written several months ago, never posted due to my conflicting feelings about the difficult yet wonderful role my life has taken. Hope you enjoy! It's funny how some things seem to come in spells. Bad things happen in threes etc. I don't know the exact number of conversations but I know that in the last … Continue reading Life of a Ranch Wife

Keep up, Babe

Sore Butt, Sore Abs, Sore Back…
Oh my heavens. Riding horses hurts. A lot. My butt. My back. My neck. My tummy. My legs. I haven't been on a horse since last June--thanks to my prego belly--and riding last Saturday felt horrid. Well, actually the riding part of things wasn't so bad, it was waking up the next morning with a … Continue reading Sore Butt, Sore Abs, Sore Back…
