Welcome!

Hello my friends and welcome!!
First off for those who are unfamiliar with me I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Barbara Stephenson. City girl turned ranch wife. Until may of last year I lived in a city of 8000 comfortably surrounded by close friends and family. Safely cocooned in their familiar protection. Then after a few eye opening events my husband Peter and I decided we weren't living life. Life was living us and we needed a change.
We moved from our close knit family and big home town to a wide spot in the road in northern Colorado. Accepting a ranch job after much deliberation, was by far the best decision we have made for us, our boys, and our sanity in general. For the past 16 or so months we have been living and learning in beautiful North Park. Walden, a town of 800, has become our home and these people have slowly become our people. Excited about our new lives I have been posting updates or funny things to my Facebook page.  After several suggestions that writing might be a strong suit of mine I decided to delve into the boggling world of blogging.
SO, here each week (or so) I'll recant a funny story, quip, or an experience from our daily ranching lives. The run in's with cows, horses, dogs, or chickens and the near misses will no doubt continue to make us all say..."What the...?". Also, I plan to provide hints and tips on anything from advice with children to money saving household tips as well as links to websites containing useful information.
Therefor, stay tuned and lets see just how many of you I can continue to corrupt.
