A Cowboy’s Wife

1947-2009
While my man loved her for her beauty & her role in Charlie’s Angels, it was her movies that touched my heart.  She will be missed.
3 of my  favorite movies she made.

The Substitute Wife –LOVE this movie. I could watch it everyday.  A farmer’s wife has cancer and seeks out a new wife for her [...]

If you’ve already turned into a green junkie, then you’re sure to love Sommer’s new place over at Green & Clean Mom!  You don’t have to be green to love her and the her new home though, in fact, I’m not even close to green but I greatly enjoy reading all the fun stuff she [...]

I absolutely love to see a hard working woman become successful with her own business, especially a woman with 3 children.  Katja is just this woman I’m talking about.  She happens to own Skimbaco, which is a very cool children’s boutique.   It’s so cool in fact, that even Tom Cruise’s little Suri is wearing these super [...]

 
I always give to certain charities so when I got an email from my niece asking if I would sponsor her in a Math-a-thon, I couldn’t say no!  The money goes to St. Jude, who does wonderful things for people.  Just a little FYI for you:

St. Jude treats 230 patients every day on an outpatient basis.

One day a few weeks ago, a whole bunch of shiny black cars, SUVS, and trucks appeared in our small-desolate town.  You may know them as DOT (pronounced Dee O Tee)….get it?  They started going up and down the Interstate, hiding behind small hills in the medium, and turning off all their lights at night [...]

There was a huge oil refinery explosion on Monday at Big Spring that shook the town and even some surrounding towns.  My sister-in-law lives about 30 miles away and said they could feel the boom!  According to Fox News, there were 4 injuries.  One with serious burns and the others treated and released.  From what I understand, [...]

I received a comment that disturbed me a bit on the original Steak n Shake post and felt like I needed to post about it instead of replying to her comment in the comments section. 
Jennifer said this,
I think it is wrong that they didn't server her, but on the same note.
Why would she want to go [...]

UPDATE AND FOLLOW UP HERE 
I was reading Wendy’s post this morning about how she is standing up for a fellow mommy blogger against the company Steak and Shake.  Her good friend Karen aka deaf mom, was refused service at Steak & Shake when trying to order through the take out window.  Karen explained that she is [...]

It’s that time again.  You cowpokes know, this is the time where we all stay up til 11:00 to watch the WFR.  Luckily we have dvr and can record it so we won’t miss one round of the 10 total rounds. I really like to watch the events but I wish just one time that [...]

Being part MEXICAN, part WHITE, and part INDIAN leaves me wide open to all kinds of “racial like” remarks but none of it bothers me…..But, when you have some jackass that tries to bring the race card up over something that is COMPLETELY harmless, it really chaps my hide.
I strongly believe that the people who [...]
