Ranch Life 2009

Every year I become a cowgirl for a week.
This year I went with the Echo Canyon Gang to Drowsy Water Ranch in Granby, CO.
Most of us have ridden for years...some have horses and some don't, but we all get to be kids for six days and seven nights.
Team penning.
Herding. Barrel racing. Woo hoo.
Great food.
Border collies gone wild.
Cozy cabins in the woods.
Roping. Rodeo. You name it, Drowsy Water has it.
Family run and operated since 1977, they own their own horses.
Mine was a blue roan named Mariah.
She was fleet of foot - a true cutting horse with a penchant for horse treats, nose rubs and soft whispers.
Wish I could take her home with me.

About Me

My photo
I've been on Mother Earth for 18,900 days (you'll have to do the math 'cause it tires me). I've lived here and there. Now, I'm settled for the moment in colorful Colorado in a beige home (not by choice) with my flyboy helicopter pilot and two Welsh corgis. I've been a writer all my life and now I've added beading and jewelry design to the mix. I'm a runner and a writer and a very bad cook. In fact, I've never made a batch of cookies. Can you believe I included that in my bio? And I've never read a Stephen King novel. Hmmmmm.

THE BEADING BLOGGER....


The woman who avoids cell phones (though I have an iPhone now), mindless chatter and LOUD noises. I always mute the TV during commercials. Now I'm chattering with others about my business and my little life.
Oh, my.
My shop is open on etsy.com...Indigo Rhino Designs at indigorhinodesigns.etsy.com.

BOLD adornments for the neck and wrist featuring tribal and vintage beads alongside newer ones.

Hmmm. Bold adornments for a girl who hates loud noises. Each piece has a delightful name and story. A story that I trust will blend beautifully and boldly with your own.
Wish me luck,
your little indigo rhino.

And more juicy details about my life to come...
