I see the year has once again snagged a gallopin' horse and ridden off into the sunset. I don't mind telling you, this is getting scary. Like a carousel hurrying to keep up with the music I go round and round and keep running into myself. Does anybody out there identify with this? I thought so.   We didn't have any fun this year as you can tell by the photos on this page. It's a hard life, but somebody's gotta do it. Whatever did we do with ourselves before ponies and pistols! The year wasn't without a challenge or two. You figure you've got yer herd all rounded up when a couple bust out on their own and ya hafta cowboy up. (For you city slickers 'cowboy up' means dusting yerself off and gittin' back in the saddle after that bronc called Rattler makes ya' a yard dart.)

Lee is enjoying painting western themes and learning to use the digital camera to photograph field reference. He also is living a boyhood dream working on occasion as a cowboy for friends who own a nearby ranch. We made the usual national rounds of art shows and enjoyed teaching at the annual Wyoming Artists' Conference. Although the world is in turmoil, we wish you inner peace. Remember to laugh a lot and love a lot, for there's still so much for which to be grateful. Come for some good old-fashioned western hospitality should you find yourself in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Hugs from, Lee, Pam, ole Shadow Dawg; our lap-kitty, Miss Daisy; the BIG kids, Shalimar, Windcatcher, and Sandy.
