Playing Catch-Up

Mindy here, and we have been busy, busy, busy here at the ranch. Now that things are getting, somewhat, back to normal, renovation projects at the big house are kicking into high gear.

Not only do we have drywall, it’s been textured, primed and is ready for painting. That’s where hubby and I come it. After pouring over a bazillion paint chips for weeks, we finally narrowed down our selections.

This one should be interesting.

 

Since we’re doing the painting ourselves, we’ve been spending all day at the big house, dragging home late, sore and weary, wondering what we’re going to have for dinner. Needless to say, there’s not been any cooking going on.

However, that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little timeout to relax.

Especially when the annual county fair is going on. We weren’t about to miss the rodeo.

They had steer roping.

 

Bucking broncs.

 

Barrel racing.

And professional bull riding.

Just for the record, don’t ever sign me up for that.

Of course, there’s always something interesting at the ranch. Like a bunch of bored buzzards.

And sometimes we’re what’s interesting. Especially when the cattle think they’re the only ones in the pasture.

Do they look like they've been caught with their hooves in the cookie jar or what?

Now it's time for me to go put my feet up.

NOT!

Not only is there more painting to be done, ACFW Conference is next week!

And I can hardly wait. It's that one time each year when I get to hug the necks of those amazing authors I only get to see once a year.

So now it's your turn.

Will I see you at the ACFW Conference?
