I was planning to write an update on here but this has been on my heart so I'm going to get this done first.  In the past I know I've mentioned to people that we get stray dogs and cats on the ranch a few times a year. Idiots will abandon their animals thinking that "the country" is a nice place for their uncontrollable or unwanted cat or dog.  These abandoned pets will sometimes come onto the ranch. If the cats get along with our barn cats and can fit in then they get to stay. If they fight with our cats then our cats come first.  The dogs don't usually make it to the hou ..read more

Hello!  It's January 26th and I am overdue for an update.  The big news is I've been pregnant since August. After the miscarriage last year I was really reluctant to post anything because I didn't want to go through the whole thing where everyone is sorry for you or they avoid you because they don't know what to say.  But things are going good and the baby is due at the end of April.  This last year Steve had us thinking about moving to Texas and I am happy that it didn't happen. I love Wyoming and while Texas is really nice and the people are awesome it isn't my home ..read more

 Hi to everyone!  We're starting to see the snow sticking around the peaks and this next Sunday we're supposed to get a real snowstorm! After a very warm Summer and a nice Fall I'm ready for the cold! It's nice to get out the winter blankets out of mothballs and air them out. I know it's weird but I like the smell of mothballs because it means winter to me.  The crops were okay this year. We didn't get many cherries but there were enough apples that I got all the pies I needed to put up for the year. I thought about buying some frozen cherries for the pies but it's like cheating ..read more

 After a very hot and smoky summer I am so happy to welcome the Fall! It's my favorite season as we bring in the harvest and then prepare for the cold of winter. And it's supposed to be a cold winter some people are saying. Hope you like the new picture! Sometimes this place is so pretty it hurts! ? There's not a lot of news to share right now and that's a good thing. No bad news either.  Just wanted to say Hi and say we're still here!  Megan ..read more

I had these questions from the other day: AnonymousJuly 23, 2021 at 11:22 AM Hi, Megan. Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you are doing well. And good luck with conceiving a new human life. So happy for you. Will this be your 10th baby? I am curious what line of work Steve is in that he can afford airplanes and to support such a big family. It must generate a lot of income! This will be my tenth baby and the ninth of my children in the house, God willing. Steve does construction work and it takes him out of state a lot. The airplane is really needed for him getting around and to transport p ..read more

 I saw the comment on my previous post:  Megan - are you alright? We haven't heard from your in over two months, that's not like you! And wanted to say I'm doing just fine, really! ? Just haven't posted on here in a while is all. Sorry!!! A few things that have gone on around here is Pastor Sandy left our church and I'm kind of happy about it. He came from outside and he had ideas that were not very Christian. I also really didn't like his choices for music. Contemporary Christian Music to me is massively boring, some of it is heretical, and it's like all a big monotone with no ups o ..read more

Just some random thoughts on my experience with autism.  I'm not a fan of loud conversations or loud rooms with lots of conversations. I've noticed over the years that you can be in a large room with a few people and those people will all be having very quiet conversations. Then more people come into the room. At some point one person suddenly starts TALKING REALLY LOUD and then everyone else jumps up their volume! That's when I leave the room.  Loud TV commercials make my anxiety go crazy! The worst advertisements are the damned truck dealer ads! Why do they have to yell their damne ..read more

 Just a little happy news!  Cydne's baby boy Brayden was born on April 3 and is a big boy at 10 pounds 8 ounces!  Amy's baby boy Gabriel was born on April 11 and is 7 pounds and 11 ounces!  ..read more

 I'm doing a lot better since my last post and need to thank God for wonderful friends who care for me in person and who support me online. Don't know what I would do without them! ? Okay, so one of the things that comes up enough in this life is when people talk about Unicorns.  According to Wordnik the definition of a unicorn is this: u•ni•corn yoo͞′nĭ-kôrn″ ► n. A fabled creature symbolic of virginity and usually represented as a horse with a single straight spiraled horn projecting from its forehead. In poly a unicorn is a single virgin woman who is smart, beautiful, sh ..read more
