    Just Checkin In

    This year has been fucking nuts, to say the least, and it has made me appreciate our group (our community) even more than I already did. I am thankful that each of you have stayed connected with me, and that you continue to show up on Monday nights through the VNA link and some of you choose to share the rest of the week with me on Streamate. I have been very fortunate in this online world in that you guys have stayed with me and become an amazing community. Each of you checks on others and you’re always there to support each other in the trials and tribulations of…

    Kevin!!!

    I know that I am late in posting this, but you are important to me and, well, you’re Kevin! Kevin-Kevin-Kevin!!! In case you are wondering this is Minion you. —–> I hope that you had an amazing birthday, and that you were celebrated! Knowing your family, I have no doubt that you were and that there were cookies and cake to eat. Was it pumpkin, by chance? Happy, happy birthday, Kevin!

    Do You Remember When?

    Do you remember this game? I think it is called Labyrinth, but could be wrong. I had one as a kid, albeit, a cheap one, but I could sit in my room and play it all afternoon, and be content with the day. Another one of my self-entertainment games was Chinese Checkers. I played against myself so much that I was unbeatable when I had a component. What was a favorite game you remember?

    Happy Birthday!

    Hmfast – I hope that you are having a wonderful day and that it is an amazing birthday, despite being stuck at the hotel, and despite you working.. do something for you and celebrate in spite of it all! Splurge, call in sick, pretend you moved when they knock on your door, or just play video games and watch youtube videos all day, ignoring the rest of the world. Just a suggestion, honestly, but enjoy the day no matter what.

    Oh My Heck, It is HOT

    Okay, first things first. “Oh my heck” is a common term in my new homeland and I LOVE it. I don’t know why. I really don’t. But oh my heck, do I smile when I hear it or read it on a forum. Now, let’s get to the real reason for this post. Oh my heck, it is hot as fuck! Saturday we hit 103 and a very dry 103 is a lot hotter than what I’m used to being from Texas. With that said, I have never liked the heat, even as a kid. I was that kid that was not interested in a birthday party at the pool…

    Our Week at a Remote Ranch House

    We are spending the week in an even more remote area of the mountains and the nearest store is 70 miles away. That sounds lovely, doesn’t it? We are going to do some relaxing, no schedules and no socializing! Granted, this year has been one of few social gatherings, but with MtnMan being in an essential business he has been going non-stop since March. It is truly crazy. We are both very fortunate, so that is not a complaint by any means; my heart aches for those who have been laid off due to the pandemic. We do, however, need a break from all of that, and this week is…

    National Ice Cream Day

    So, yesterday was ice cream day, which doesn’t really do anything for me, but you know, there is a day for everything. Kind of like there is a fetish for everything. Anyway, what is your favorite flavor? When I was a kid it seemed like there were 4 flavors, but now that are hundreds! Just like snickers, or M&M’s – there are so many choices now that it is ridiculous! What happened to just having a snickers as it is, or peanut M&M’s instead of now having peanut butter, caramel, or whatever? am way off topic now, what is your flavor? I don’t really care for ice cream, but my…

    Abby and Her Happy Tail Wag

    I dropped Abby off with her extended family who had the backyard sprinklers turned on for her and it took her less than 2 minutes to run through them. She didn’t even say bye to me, so it’s a good thing I hugged and gave her a few kisses before I let her know she was going somewhere. Goodness, no “bye Mom, love you!”, but instead she about rolled her cousin saying hi, and then quickly calmed down with she got a growl in return. She sat, let the cousin sniff and say hi and then the cousin almost rolled her. LOL. Once the hello’s were over, Abby ran through…

    Abby the Golden

    She makes me smile, and she makes me love her, but she doesn’t always like my hugs and kisses. She is my shadow, my sweet girl and she is always under foot. I love that about her. I would miss her if she wasn’t always so curious about what I am doing, and I certainly couldn’t clean without her help. lol. But, that also means she always knows when we are leaving for a trip because as soon as I get a bag out, she is somber and so sad. She does not hide her sadness very well, and it is heartbreaking. For me, not for MtnMan. Let’s be clear…

    Good Morning!

    I hope this finds you doing well and having a great start to your week. I would love it if you shared your weekend happenings with me… My weekend was busy, as usual, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Saturday I spent the day adding candid shots and videos to my Loyal Fans page, learning about Light Room (photo editing software), planning for new content shoots and getting set up for a day of custom videos. I also managed to make time to bake mexican brownies and make a corn side dish for taco night at a friends house. Sunday we started the day with breakfast and then spent all…
