Everyone should visit the Elk Grove Fine Arts Center (gallery) in Old Town Elk Grove

Spent part of the evening at the EGFAC gallery.  Love being a part of that place :)
Everyone is fun to work with and tonight was our 1st Friday event of the month.  So many people stopped in, it was great.
I chatted with a group of people who were enjoying my photography display.  They wanted to know where each of the ranches where, what went on there, etc.  It was fun to share the info with them.
Been a long day and I'm about to go read a good book now.
Good Night All!

EGGS.....the perfect food! Did you know that?

Tips about eggs:

• Eggs are best hard boiled when they're a week or older.....too fresh eggs don't separate from the shell well after boiling.
• Beat eggs ...add a tich of salt....and freeze portions in ice cube trays for scrambling and baking later.
• Store eggs small point down.
• To test eggs for freshness.......fill a pan with water and immerse eggs......fresh eggs will lie horizontal on the bottom, older eggs will 'list' upwards....large end poking towards the top.  Eggs that float need to be discarded.

A new year has begun and WSRRA rodeos will be held in states all over the West!!!!!

Here is an image I made from the WSRRA Finals in Winnemucca, NV in 2010.  What a fun time that was!  Looking forward to this year's rodeos and Finals.

Roo's feathers

I love to sit and watch Mr. Roo meandering around  the place......he's ART at it's finest.

Roo and The Girls

Every ranch needs a rooster and some hens.  They're delightful to have strutting around the place... scratching and nibbling, crowing and clucking, laying fresh eggs, providing a soothing and pleasing-to-the-eye living artscape!  If you've never owned chickens you just don't know what your missing!

What wonderful times.....fun times....rough times....unforgettable times...

‎60,000 acres and 180 head of cattle. For 15 years we helped our friends the Mahon's gather cattle here each fall before calving and big snows. Occasionaly, a calf would come before the herd was gathered, making it slow going and hard on the little fellas. We trailed some BIG mamas out of those mountains. Good times! Reminds me of the time Buck and Bob were in the middle the river 'fighting' with a mad mama who didn't want to go down the trail....Bob forgot his gun was on him :) Bad for the gun, good for the cow!
