flatbroke ranch has a cow!!!!!!

yes! flatbroke ranch is the proud new owner of a COW!!!!

my friend doris called me monday & asked if i could stop by her house on my way home from work - she wanted to show me something. when i got there, she handed me this:

I WAS SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she painted it just for me!!!!!!

i hung her in my craftroom. right now she's still nameless. can't really call her sam elliott, but i was thinking maybe "samantha"? she looks a little sad - like she got caught in the paint & is afraid i'm gonna yell at her!!!???!!!!

but i LOVE her & i LOVE doris!!!! she's the lady who painted my truck & tractor. now all i need's a barn!!!! i'm on the lookout for one for her to paint!!!!

8 months?????????????????

REALLY??? 8 months have gone by since my last blog post! i'm not dead - just took a little time off from writing and reading blogs. i have not looked at one single blog since last november! i have been busy with projects, changing jobs, projects & weddings & lots of other things and ONE DAY i will be at a place where i can blog about everything that has happened. but not today! as always, i've taken lots of pictures & written lots of posts in my head.....just need time to write them down! soon, very soon. be patient!!!!
