I took A LOT of sight seeing photos on our vacation, so I thought I'd break them into two posts. This collection is all from Yellowstone National Park.                                                        .
 

I'm Beat

Monday, my usual blog day, was our annual owner meeting for the store. Since I'm in charge of the event, I worked an incredibly long day, and I'm still recovering. I will post the last batch of vacation photos next week. Until then, click on the Art tab -- I've uploaded some of the images of my next show. The first four, at least. Just so's you know -- I suck at taking photos of my paintings. I guess it's because by then, I've looked at them for so long, I just click, crop, and upload. I hope you can get an idea of what they look like in person.

Many cherished childhood memories involve my grandparents' ranch in Montana. Learning how to ride a horse (practically before I could walk), gathering eggs, milking the cow, the smell of horses and alfalfa dust and dew -- staying on the ranch in the summer was always a glorious adventure.

Though the ranch is different and my grandparents are in their eighties, it still felt the same -- their down-to-earth humor filled the house. There's still a freezer for meat and another just for ice cream. And there are still horses -- scads of beautiful, sweet-tempered horses. My grandpa Peary's dearest dream was to be a horse rancher. While their income, at least when I was younger, came from beef cattle, those horses have always been dear to his heart. Most of us Hannums caught that love of horses, too.
 
 
First up in my vacation photo recap is the rodeo. It was a high school rodeo, and my cousin Wyatt was a part of it, so there are quite a few photos of him. It was also my Charles' first rodeo. We enjoyed it immensely.
