Oh give me a home where the Buffalo roam
And I’ll show you a crappy house.

Cowboy Advice: Marry a short gal and keep your guns on the top shelf. She may still get ya but you will you'll hear her dragging the chair across the floor.

Cowboys usually advise others to buy Dachshunds, "Get a long little doggy" they say.

This is more accurate than some might think. i belong to an 'Acquifer Co-op' with which several landowners in my area share an irrigation ditch (comes from a source up in mountains). My immediate neighbors have livestock, horses and sometimes crops other than feed for their animals. When they were making arrangements for annual meeting and collection of dues this year instead of letters hand delivered or sent to PO Boxes, the officers did a group text that way those that wanted to attend a live meeting to hash out who got first dibs on the water (there are valves by each property that can feed it into their personal irrigation systems) could wrangle over best time/place. Me, i don't have the same needs as they do and always want the farms/ranches to get dibs---so i just mail my dues.

Seriously? Here's some advice from country raised Crone: Never underestimate a woman, short or other wise. Many of us wouldn't need a gun if we wanted to 'get ya'.

Never underestimate a woman, short or other wise.

The reason that my marriage has lasted well over fifty years is because I know rule one.

Humor. Don't leave home without a sense of it.

The only healthy way to live life is to learn to like all the little everyday things
...like a sip of good whiskey in the evening, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk..."

"They love the aroma of fresh coffee wake’n camp to shake the dew,
The sound of a crackling fire, a sip of whiskey, and a good joke or two,
California’s Sierras, the vastness of Montana, and herds of Buffalo."
