I’m child number three of eight, Catholic in case you’re wondering, the lost child if you follow family dynamics. It fits.

We were raised on a stunningly beautiful cattle and hay ranch in the Flint Creek Valley of southwestern Montana. Whomever came up with the term “Free Range Children” unknowingly described us to the tee.

My reasons for creating a blog are many, it’s a platform for me to chronicle my memories growing up rancher, where I came from, maybe where I’m going. I’ll share some funny stories as well as not so funny.

I hope through this exercise the quality of my writing will improve, memories will arise from the deep recesses of my mind. I would like to reconnect with the people that are the characters in my story. Scenes of the ranch.
