A Weekend in the Life of a Rancher

For President's Day weekend I jumped at the chance to "get away" (even if it was only to Idaho) for a few days. My friend Jayni invited me to spend the weekend with her and a couple of our friends at her Step-Dad's ranch in Grace, Idaho.

I'll only say a few things about this, and then I've created a video the document the experience.

1. It was FREEZING.
2. It was still a lot of fun.
3. I got to ride a horse for the first time ever!
4. I ate lots of good food.
5. I was really glad that I can't smell.
6. I think cattle branding, et al. is borderline animal cruelty.
7. I saw twin baby calves be born and one died. I cried a little.
8. I broke my pinky toe.
9. Did I mention it was FREEZING?
10. The ranch life is not the life for me. But it's fun to visit!
