I remember many years back I had a friend who told me that she boiled the potatoes and eggs together when she made potato salad. OK, now you know that this is going to be a disaster, right? It involves two things that I am rather bad with. 1 - Cooking and 2 - memories. … Continue reading My (IN)famous cooking skills

If I sound stupid just make me count to ten!
I have been known to sleep walk. In the past. Lately however I have seen several videos of people sleepwalking or waking from surgery.

Goodbye Bull, Hello Steer
Messy Do you ever wonder why some cattle (notice I didn't say COW) are born bulls? But are sold as steers? Last year was a learning curve for us AND the cattle.

And so the Grandma Cat told me…

First when Harvey (my brother and ranch manager) said that we had a heifer (first time mothers) that looked like her water … Continue reading Cows GROSS content alert!!
Parents vs Grandparents!!
Between when my parents stopped being parents (OK, they never stopped but you get the drift!) and when the first grandchild appeared. My parents were switched out for some alien parents.

A girl has to have her priorities!
