Our three great grandkids came to trick or treat at our house. So cute! The oldest is 3, the second is 2, and the baby will be a year old on Thursday and they live next door to us here on the ranch!!

We just saw "I Can Only Imagine" and this is the best movie ever!!!

It's getting worse here too. The guys got the calves fed and then needed the tractor to haul the grandkids home because we have zero visability and the thermometer is dropping like a rock. Both the wood stove upstairs and the corn stove in the basement are working overtime. The wind is blowing...

Justin - we still have power but sounds like most of the country around Indian Creek was without electricity all morning. We've been left in the dark so often here that I don't have any faith in the electricity staying on, but we'll enjoy it while it stays on. Right now we're watching college...

BRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! And Merry Christmas to you all. Got a big kettle of beef stew on the stove, lots of wood ready for the woodstove, the kerosene lamps are ready and the water bucket is filled in case the power goes off again. The grandkids from across the creek will be coming to spend the day...

We're blizzarded in today. The wind is howling, snow is piling up in huge drifts, and the mercury is hovering around zero. Most of our six kids and their families and most of the neighbors won't be able to get here for our usual Christmas Day celebration, but our oldest son and his family who...

At the risk of offending every liberal on this board, I'm posting this because I found it absolutely hilarious! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzp0S3yO1QA

Do you have a link for this story OT? This pipeline will be coming right through our county and we haven't been able to find a whole lot of information on it yet. Their lobbyist told me it would be carrying 800, 000 barrels of oil a day! It would be great to be able to build a refinery somewhere...

Hey Soap - did Todd Trask send that to you too? I just used it in my column that I wrote yesterday. We celebrated Cinco De Mayo (or Sinko De Mayo?) and the return of our electricity with a big taco feed for the crew when they came in from moving the cows and sheep back to the pastures we moved...

Police investigate the scene. The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, FL , sub shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former pilot for two presidents. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, and he...

The whole reservation/tribal government thing is a huge mess that will only be resolved when the reservation land is divided up and given to the enrolled members of the tribes. Give the individual Indians the deed to their acres and turn them loose to make their own way in the world to sink or...

It's traditional to eat squaw bread with wojape. For those of you who have never heard that term, wojape is a delicious berry pudding, made with whatever seasonal or dried berries you have, sugar, water, and flour to thicken. Not really all that different than what Oldtimer is doing when he...

Nope. It can’t be beat. But in our house it’s squaw bread. I realize that’s the politically incorrect term, but that’s what my mixed blood father called it and if it was good enough for him and grandma, it works for us. Our family enjoyed a couple batches of squaw bread this week along with...

In memory of Rod - one of his poems that fits so well.... In God's Hands (A cowboy's poem) There was laughter and trail talk that evenin' as the campfire had slowly grown dim, then the usual joshin' and grumblin' as the boys got themselves settled in. I could see by the small fire still...

With deep sadness, we learned that Rod Nichols died December 22, 2007. Rod was a prolific writer, and in recent years he performed at many events and gatherings, including the recent National Cowboy Poetry Rodeo. A friend to all, he hosted a poetry board where he was unfailingly welcoming and...

Many times I've been blessed by Soapweed's father's columns and this one is such a nice Christmas story I just had to share it with you guys. Thanks Bob and Merry Christmas to you all!! FRIENDS AND FANCI ES by Bob Moreland Searching my mind for a good Christmas story I remembered a story my...

Mrs. Greg, as an EMT and a member of the emergency management team in our county, we also have our emergency plans written and ready. Preparation, education, and cleanliness are all very necessary to lessen the effects of what most probably will be an epidemic of cataclysmic proportions. We have...

What does socialized health care have to do with Avian Flu? During the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1918, our local herb doctor never lost a patient to the disease that killed millions and the government didn't pay his wages either. How would SCHIP have saved anyone then and how can throwing...

THE UNITED STATES ONE DOLLAR BILL Take out a one dollar bill, and look at it. The one dollar bill you're looking at first came off the presses in 1957 in its present design. This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running through...

After reading this, I have concluded that this may be the solution to global warming. If electric bulbs suck dark, and it appears they do, they must surely suck cold too! We're saved!!! For years it has been believed that electric bulbs emitted light. However recent information has proven...
