The Real. The Raw. The Genuine.

Winter Survival Guide…


Ranch Life

Now, I really shouldn’t be complaining with the onset of the last few weeks’ 66 plus degree weather.  But this California girl loves her warm sunshine and summer like feels.  I probably should live in Arizona, I love to be warm, and sandals, and sun, and all that goes with it.  That white stuff that […]

Ranch Life, Uncategorized

Elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist, touch your pearls, and blow a kiss.  No, we weren’t talking about dummy roping, but rodeo queen contests.  And yes, I am afraid to admit it, those words were uttered by my oh so manly Cowboss husband, early Saturday morning.  How we even got to that point in the conversation, I […]
