The 200th Blog Post

Guess what?! This is our 200th blog post! I can't believe it. Sorry that I am late getting this out, but "keeping it real" it is hard to write blogs when you are staying in one spot for so many months in a row. Don't get me wrong, I love living out here, just hard to bring up new things that are going on and exploring just isn't the same as when we went from state to state. We did organize the closet. We had towels, blankets and sheets in trash bags since 2011. Hubby added these shelves. Finished! One big bunny in the yard! The clouds. Storms were around Fort Stockton, didn't make it to us though. Just thought these clouds were so interesting. I have gotten myself into a weekly routine, I like that. Mondays are wash days. Tuesday is when I work and get enough information on Facebook and Instagram for Women's Pregnancy Center. I do a little bit every day, but I like to get my week organized and schedule it to go to FB and Insta automatically. Wednesday is m

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

Lots of Fun in Iraan

Again, I wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all of you out there! Hope yesterday was a very blessed day for you. Also, I have some PBR bonus pictures that I wanted to share with you. I thought about adding them last week, but that drive back to the ranch was long and hubby and I were tired. Hope you enjoy! PBR always starts out with a flash. Natalie and myself. Ben, Natalie, myself and hubby. Bulls can be mean. We stopped by to see hubby's dad before we left to back to the ranch. Last week was fun, sad, and exhausting. Monday, I was able to mow for two and a half hours and that felt good, but the sun, wow, it got me. That is the exhausting part of last week. I was on our zero turn, so I just sat, but the heat can get to you for sure. I did get some pink color on my legs, hoping that will turn dark. Strange tan lines for me these days. I also went to check the Ewoks (Hedgehog Cactus) and that was sad for me. Here she is, our zero turn. Served us well in Hockley and continues to
