The Rocking R Ranch

I know some of you have heard me refer to the ranch as the Rest and Refuge Ranch that comes from Psalms 91 where the Lord is my rest and my refuge. I was telling a friend of mine about the extraordinary benefit of rocking chairs and how I intended to have at least two …

Almost Home!

For those of you who don't know about my wild 5 day trip back across country to get to Arizona, I did make it to Arizona! But I couldn't find a rental that would be anywhere near tolerable because of all of the cell towers everywhere these days. I Finally came to that conclusion when …

When its springtime in…

Kentucky? Wait wasn't that supposed to be the Rockies? Oh well I'm going to head towards the Rockies! When it's springtime in Kentucky? I go running home to Arizona! Yes. I have found out that I am allergic to Kentucky in the springtime and that has been causing several fairly serious issues with this poor …

Spring and Hope!

She has been announcing Spring for a while and this beautiful place shows Spring in style! All kinds of flowers have been coming up! Some I have no idea what they will be although I've been …

My Ole Kentucky Home

Yes that's from an old song but it certainly applies here. This home was built over 120 years ago right on Rock Lick Creek bank. With a name like that you can tell you're in Kentucky! 🙂 Then they used logs and mules and pulled it up the hill a ways, to where it's sitting …

Thanks Giving!

I love it when the good Lord does little things for you, special little things that only have meaning for you. I had a really good, but very exhausting, Thanksgiving yesterday. I worked on fixing my pumpkin surprise that morning and went up to my neighbor's house and we had a lovely time. I brought …

Changes!

Big Ones! Yes, that is me sitting there in front of that little house in Kentucky! I am no longer living in the Grand Canyon State. Somehow it seemed appropriate that I changed the picture on my blog to represent, far better, exactly where I'm at. I know the picture quality is not what I …
