The words here are about my life as the wife of a now retired Soldier. I live on a small ranch in Texas, and my experiences here craft the words I use to express my life. The sacrifices, challenges, and the deeply satisfying rewards of being the wife of such a man influence them as well. I live in a beautiful and peaceful place, and it is great solace and comfort when I face life and the challenges of a complicated and stressed world. So I have titled my writings "From the Ranch."

Patti Got to Go to Town!
I managed to slip off from Rocket the Peek-a-Goat, to go to town for supplies before the cold and ice hit, (can't go without my Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper...) Started the truck, left it running, and made sure Rocket saw me go in the back door. She went around to the back porch, and got under her favorite table, and snuggled down. I slipped out the front door, rolled slowly down the drive way, and I checked the rear-view mirror one more time. There was Patti, ready to chase me down the highway... so I got out of the truck, had to chase her down, because she didn't want to get in the cab, and she had her first trip to town in the truck! She loved it!

Who Would Not Say She is Adorable.... But...
Who can deny she is adorable?
She will however, eat your lunch...
She begs to get in the house all the time... why I cannot understand...
For some strange reason I can't figure out, that silly goat panics when I get in the truck to go to town... and then chases me down the road if she is out of her pen.
She makes a mess if she is out of her pen,but always finds some way to get in trouble when I put her in her pen.
And then she raced up the stairs and stood on the handrail of the porch...

There Are Problems This Morning, Again

Here's the exact problem...
And I did it again... Oh boy... But I will prevail!!!
I do have a good assistant...
And of course a good technical adviser...
She keeps taking a snack break, that isn't so helpful...
I bet you are thinking, now how is an almost 62 year
old woman going to get that truck out...
old woman going to get that truck out...
Remember, I'm a retired Army Wife, video to follow...
Now how deep was that thing buried?
Oh yeah, that appears to be stuck all the way to the step up rail...
Hmmmm, so Rocket, where do we begin?
