Happy New Year

.

. BBRRRRRR- on the LMA. Every mourning seems the same on the place when you are starting out in the mourning. This time the Moon is full, temperature 20', no breeze. Easter sees me coming out @ 4 am. Breakfast wakes him up. He also sounds the horn for the rest, wants to be sure they are ready for me. No fooling around during work days. Got to go, got to go. Hay is not free you know. I owe I owe so off to work I go.


. Coming off the pass overlooking Sandy Valley the view is different every time. New Year, New Look. Easter is wondering why I am late for Dinner. Had to work some Overtime. I'm sure he will understand. Nice view though, looks like there is still enough light to feed then start a fire, the first one of the decade. Thought I would feel a lot older when this happened. Nope, I feel young enough to appreciate where I am, when I am, and what I have.


. Not bragging about it, just want the same for everyone, looking forward to fun times, the progress of the children. May they live long and prosper Captain!


.OH Well, I can see Easter heard the old truck coming down the lane, sounding his horn and running around, letting everyone know I made it. Not that he loves me, it's dinner time yeah.


. I guess it's time for the years first fire and cold one.---------------------Mikey



.PS----------------I love you MOM-----------------m

New decade, same old story

.



Mikey was sure proud of himself for finding a way to start posting again. Just goes to show you everyday presents it's own set of challenges. That's right my phone has decided to go south on me, ( hope it's just the old battery). The trip to town is over 100 miles, depending on where you have to go. I don't mind going, I just hate to leave the LMA. Promise to post more photos and stories in the new year, lots to talk about with everyone.


.Another development for the ranch is K-D is moving next door to Irene's. Irene saved me a lot of money when Dude had to be transported to college. I won't go in to details, but trust me we needed the help. Thanks to Irene.


.For all you Easter fans, all I can tell you is he's fat and happy. That is of course as long as he gets fed first, otherwise, he puts up a little complaint. He's so funny when I do that, shame on me!


.Just can't wait to get home, there's a fire place and a cold one with my name on it ----mikey.


PS.--------------I Love You MOM----------------m

Merry Christmas

.


This is a real surprise for me. After some one got internet access denied for the department Mikey found a way around it one day after Christmas just so I could let everyone know how important you are to me. I also checked in with all your blogs, glad to see everyone having fun.

Dude is in Middleton for training, (College), will be out the first week of Febuary,that's when I pick him up. Hope to get with everyone I can, there is so much to do everytime I come up.

In the mean time we had some very nice goodies to eat while we sat around the fire for Christmas, can't wait to go home and pick up where I left off----------------Mikey

PS------------I love you MOM----Merry Christmas

Just cruising @ Pat's

.

Hello there, some have questioned why the post have stopped recently. I haven't had access to the web for some time now. Sorry about that. Pat is letting me use his computer today, since I am in town. Thank You Pat!

FYI Dude is scheduled to go to school in Idaho, 12/02/09. We will be looking forward to seeing everyone we can while I am up there. Should I miss anyone Dude will finish up school the end of January. Sure will miss him while he's gone.


Easter and Jackie Jo are doing fine, growing their winter coats right now, 29' this morning on the LMA! BRRRRRRR.


Thank God for the fire place, keeps the coffee going while I am outside working.-----------------
Mikey.

Hello everyone,

Things have slowed down this summer. Expectations of migrating north

won,t work out soon. Jackie Jo said " that's OK I like my powder bath

anyway". She has a special spot for that.

(No photos sorry).

Easter is OK with it, said we need to get busy with the sprinkler

system, he would like more pasture around here! Can't say I disagree,

will start working overtime, pay the debt down first.

Dude has generated interest, too young this year, sure could use

his help right now. Oh well, patience is a virtue.

When things get tough the tough read The Girls Dorm blog! I love to

keep up. Must read, hi Ladies.
Looks like the world hasn't heard the end of that bunch, look out all

you young fellers!

Give a shout out to Florida- won't be coming during Hurricane

season. Try Kississimme during the RODEO!

Mother; Aunt Rie; uncle pat; + Honey Bob, came for a visit. Really

nice. Family time can't be bought.

Though it would be nice to see all of you visit the LMA at your

leisure from time to time, I recommend Fire Season Though.
Hot here in the summer.

Love-----Mikey

Easter I've had enough fun, take me home.

Well, it's been a nice day here on the LMA. Easter got to be the envy of all, got to go to his old digs. As you can see he's giving me the sign by shaking his lead that he's ready to go to his room, could it be dinner time?------Mikey.

Good morning one and all. Some of you may know that Bob, my sister Marie and myself went on a little weekend jaunt to Las Vegas and of course out to Sandy Valley. We picked the best day in weeks for the weather. It was a little cloudy,with just a slight breeze. Could not have been better.



Of course we had to see the prize stud colt , he is a beaut and such a gentleman. These pitures are just a few snaps of "Dude" and like all kids they never want to show off when you want them to. He isn't brushed and curried, after all he wasn't expecting company. Now Mike on th other hand is all spiffed up in his summer best.



The vines behind them are grape vines of a mixed variety and boy are they good. In the old days I would have been tempted to make some wine. If you haven't been out there, it is well worth the trip.
