I'll be honest: I've missed my plan to be thankful every day and share weekly what I'm thankful for. I even missed my intended posting day this week. But sitting here thinking about what I w… Read More

I have to say that I enjoyed Cowpuncher's more than the Prescott rodeo. Sure, the Prescott rodeo had it's moments, but I really enjoyed how low-key Cowpuncher's was, compared to Prescott. Th… Read More

Apparently, at our house, there is no such thing as enough growing space. We spent last weekend building a new bed. I had so many plants in pots that I really needed a space to put them. I w… Read More
