I rescued a little squirrel in Missouri we named Traveler. I let him go when he got old enough to survive on his own, but I wish I never had, I miss him so...
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."

TOUGH KILLER SQUIRREL
Of course you have to develop your fear factor, reputation as a tough guy is soooo important.
Would not want to meet him in a dark alley.
Randy taught him everything he knows!

WHEW ON THAT SHUTDOWN THING!
So many ordinary Americans found themselves frustrated at bearing the load of the government shutdown, our elite troops were no exception!

SOMETIMES YOU JUST SHOULD NOT ENCOURAGE THE DREAM
Looking for something to do tonight, Traveler and I watched the movie, The Green Mile. He was star struck with that mouse, and started insisting he was going to join the circus. After a little practice he realized that he just doesn't have the natural skills, got a little frustrated, but then started considering other options. Have I mentioned my husband has been deployed for four and a half years???
There is always college...

MY SOCIAL LIFE JUST ISN'T THE SAME WHEN RANDY IS GONE
I just don't like going places by myself. So I have tended to hang around the house on Sunday night....and play poker.... with a squirrel....

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M ADOPTED!
Traveler, our baby rescue squirrel is now a young man... I mean young squirrel. He took so well to being a rescue squirrel, in fact, he greatly enjoys living in the four foot by two foot, six feet tall habitat on rolling wheels that I made for him. The times he is allowed to be out and about in the house, (he trained to a liter box in less than an hour,) are his favorite times of the day. So before we knew it, he had sort of lost his own identity. We decided it would be in his best interest to learn that he is adopted. It just didn't go that well.. Maybe we should have told him when he was younger.

Newly Declassified Special Forces Video With Access Exclusively Here!
We have been careful not to let this out, but have decided perhaps it would reach the enemy and be a deterrent, therefore we are releasing it.. Mice have been over running the ranch since the coyotes or some other such bad guy in the woods decided one night that the barn cats were a buffet. While the new kittens have given it there best efforts, they are just too young and inexperienced to take care of this stealthy enemy stalking in the kitchen. So Traveler is in training to take care of this evil in the night! I must say, he is looking impressive! The enemy may run, but it cannot hide deep enough!
He's coming for you!
