Yesterday was very exciting! We got one step closer to our dream of having a place where we can live with our horses. We closed on 5 acres in Bedford, WY. The property has beautiful mountain views and an irrigation canal running through it. We've decided to call our place Lost Creek Stables. Here we'll … Read More »

I would have only been four or five, but I remember them moving it into the living room of our ranch house. All of my brothers and sisters learned how to play on that piano. I remember my dad, tired from … Read More »
