In Memorium – Kenmore Plus

We regret to inform you of the passing of a trusted home appliance, our dear stove, Kenmore Plus. It has featured on this blog many times, being the background for many of the pictures of posts on cooking.

The property on Black Tail Creek

On our recent trip to South Dakota, we went into Wyoming for a day trip. We stopped in Sundance, Wyoming, at the Crook County Courthouse. We didn’t have a lot of time, but we were able to find a deed for some property purchased on Black Tail Creek by one of Michelle’s relatives.

We’re Back! And Yes, We Did Some Fishing!

We had a good month off and are back on the blog again. And we did do some fishing. We spent a few days out in the Black Hills of South Dakota with a day trip into Wyoming.

Yep, We’ve Gone Fishin’!

We are taking the month of June off. We have some family visiting and some landscape projects we are working on. And, if all goes well, some fishing too!

You can check out our old posts by category or tags. The categories and tags are found along the right side of our pages. You can also look back at the archives.

Heading off to the fishin’ hole!

Let’s Take Apart A Survival Kit!

Commercial survival kits seem like a great idea. You can buy a little kit that has everything you need to survive! Or does it? Since I happen to own an inexpensive survival kit, I figured we should take a close look at its contents. Is this the right stuff to survive an emergency?
