Evening folks!
Thought I'd try to bring a little spring cheer to the days, seemings how it's supposed to get colder again. But not for long.....let's hope! This is a flower that my wonderfully romantic husband brought me just before Christmas (can you tell we're still newly married? Although he says he still might be buying me flowers by our tenth anniversary. Here's to hoping!) It's an Amaryllis and absolutely gorgeous! Think I might have found my new favourite flower!


We want to let you know that our resident blogger, Terri, has a bummed computer so that's why you haven't been hearing from us. She has her computer in as we speak and you will be hearing from her soon! She called me to keep in touch with you!



I've been enjoying the bought of nicer weather and getting out with the horses. The young ones are getting miles!
Ghost, Slim and the gang at the ranch want to send everyone holiday wishes and the best for 2010! We hope you have great expectations and are surrounded by love and family in the New Year.














Words of the wise!

Merry Christmas!

I've been meaning to post this picture for a couple weeks...finally getting around to it. I finally got out for a REAL ride. With some help from my friend Laura, we got Belle saddled. I sat on the tailgate of my truck to groom her and do up the cinches and bridle. The tailgate is a perfect 'step' for getting up on her too, when you can only use one leg! We got a good ride in...the only dicey part was going through the tight spots in the trees - the cast on my leg sticks out and I was a bit nervous about catching my leg on a tree. After a few minutes Belle figured it out - "give the trees on the right side an extra six inches!" - she did great.
This last weekend Terri, her daughter, and Wrangler Heidi spent the weekend at my place - sure was great to have company after being cooped up in the house for so long! We had a great time - you'll see from Terri's blog - and I'll be cleaning up after them for weeks to come (just kidding)!

You'll see in this picture...NO CASTS! I was lucky enough to have them removed after 5 weeks. The joints are really stiff, and I have an aircast for the leg, but we're getting closer!

Well it is Christmas Eve, so to everyone reading the blog tonight - Merry Christmas!

Scott, Ty & Belle.

Pre-Christmas visits....

I head to Brenda's..."heading out!"

After a night at Brenda & Guy's ranch we head to our friends Christmas Party "Anchor D Outfitters", Dewy shows us his new arena gone outfitter.

In his stand stalls he has duck area's on both sides and a SOLID wood or metal frame so that the colt can't get you!

His stalls were very well built and strong!

As Brenda couldn't go with us I took along wrangler Scott & Heidi...we have now made inside the log house!

The fireworks begin.....

Heidi lives a dream by helping out...

Mean while...Dewy has a leg crutch for Scott to try. Bit weird looking but he wore it all night!

The inside of their awesome house!

The outside of their awesome house!

We stayed over in their "hunter's cabin" & here is the inside!

The wranglers & Taylor on the outside of the amazing cabin!

Dewy the next day giving sleigh rides!

We stop at Bren's ranch & stop by the ponies. Here is Lilly the soon to be MOM...we will be having a foal countdown closer to spring...

Wild Deuce buys another great fjord cross, we are excited to have in our 2010 sting. His name is half...

After the ranch we stop over at Ya Ya Susan's house...

Susan cooks us up one great meal...thanks SUSAN!

It was a great few days before Christmas, except for the truck breaking down and still at Brenda's! Thank you Heidi for driving me home and thank you Scott for your kindness of your house! Last minute shopping begins...

The Christmas red-neck Tree Story at Terri's cabin...

Howdy...as the gifts are bought and still no tree. I ask daily about the tree....

Chuck finally get's the hint after 86 hours of work and I have been gone since last Friday...Chuck has a surprise for us. I arrive home to the cabin and settle in with all the dogs, visit the ponies...and un-load all the presents. Chuck arrives..little do I know he had gone out with Dan & cut down a tree and Dan is going to bring the tree to the cabin after supper. Dan calls a bit later asking Chuck to help him pull him out of the ditch as the roads and weather are not good here at the moment. The story comes out...Dan along with his folks from Sask are on there way with our tree. I guess our original tree had blown out of the truck & when they finally turn around and go back. The tree had been hit by the truck they had passed and was in rough shape. They quickly searched for another tree but ended up hitting the ditch...

But I am proud to show you our charlie brown Christmas tree is here and we all couldn't be happier!

W2 Wednesday Wine Tasting...

Little delay on the Wednesday's wine...why. The weather was so nice and I spent the day outside, then I came in cranked up the fire stove, and was in bed by 7:30...now anyone that knows me. Knows that that is way to early for ole Ter!

I took a couple of pics, the 1st one is from the outside looking into the cabin. The 2nd is of the wine this week. (now anyone who is paying attention to Wednesday wine...my cousin Redge emailed me today with thee dream wine....okay guess we will wait till next week!)

This weeks wine is RED KNOT from Australia, it is a Shiraz 2007, $12.50 and won many awards. Very nice wine....finally I get to taste a good one again. I would buy this nice wine again, I think it would go good with pasta or steak...mmmm

I am off to Brenda's tomorrow...can't wait! BEEN Way to long since I seen her!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Cowboy Chucks Coffee Cup!

Blond moment...forgot to add the blog after I made it this morning. One of those days...

Back to Chuck's review. The coffee in Chuck's cup this morning is from Hawaii LION'S Coffee their logo is "The cup that cheers..." As the day starts, Chuck is running out the door and I pass him this coffee in his to go mug. First review..."oh hon, it tastes like soap". Terri quickly pours that one out and pours more in a normal cup. 2nd Review....smooth! I was waiting for me and he just looked at me and said "what...it's smooth better without soap, I gotta go to work." With that he was gone. smile Have a great day folks & stay warm, won't last forever were in Alberta!!!
