My Fourth blog on WDC

Welcome to Almosta Blog, the stories that happen every day here on Almosta Ranch. Come on in and be welcome, draw up a chair and set a spell on the front porch with me and my sweet wife, Melinda, better known as Mel.

What you will find here are stories about our many animals, and our daily life on a working ranch. Not the most riviting of subjects but I will try to hold your interest.

Happy to see you back here again. I have missed your writings. I too quit blogging and have no idea why I did. Maybe one soon I will clean out the cobwebs in mine too.

I still blog... but I use different two blogs at least. My daily life is boring when I'm not traveling so my old old blog houses mostly poetry now.

I find that I'm losing energy as well.

And I don't want my blog to just become political rants... I have facebook for that (although I should copy and paste the best in put them in an opinion blog I also neglect).

Welcome home. Things have changed so much for many of us, but there's still something special about blogging here.

Already read this on FB, but your words are always worth a second reading. Strange we should both decide to write on similar subjects almost at the same time.

I too am feeling my age since living alone. Maybe we're more conscious of our movements and thoughts without the distractions and activities with a partner.

You still excel at writing your thoughts and feelings with your own unique style and humour. Mel would be smiling at this one.

Touching, David. I didn't know she died. I think I would the same way, as if the life had gone out of me.

Age is part of the reason I try to avoid mirrors. Ignorance is bliss and all that.

Beautifully stated. We are the same age... and I have a similar shuffle (although mine is from blockage). Still, I look in the mirror... and cringe at who looks back... but more importantly, I don't have the oomph.

I could almost picture it all in my mind. Beautiful memories.

I love memories like that! Mmmmm, fresh butter...so delicious. The problem I have is once I get the memory on paper, it has that shabby-worn look and isn't a good replicate of the nugget in my mind. Fortunately, you're better at making it pretty on paper.

Thanks for sharing.

First day back in the old Neighborhood

Almost two years ago I let my paying membership lapse here on WDC, packed my blog bags, and headed out on the Information Highway for further adventures and God knows, I had a few of them. But, just like in real life, I found myself yearning for my first blog home here at WDC. So, yesterday I bit the bullet and I renewed my paying membership and that of my wife and I came home.

I have spent most of the morning dusting off this old house of mine called Portfolio and revisiting a lot of old “rooms” I had forgotten about. While doing a lot of house cleaning I discovered a rather disquieting fact….I had forgotten how do to damn near everything on this site. No matter, I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually.

Now the thing about returning to an old neighborhood is that the first thing you realize is how much it has changed. First thing I did yesterday was go over to the blog page and check out who was writing, boy was I surprised.

I saw very few people there who I recognized. Seems like a whole new bunch of folks have moved into the old neighborhood. Gone are some of the most creative, funny and talented writers I had ever read. But, I’m sure that these new folks are just as talented as the old guys…I’m just going to have to get to know them.

It is my hope that a few of you drop by my place too. I know you don’t know me but I hope we can get acquainted in the coming days and months. I also hope that maybe a few of those old neighbors of mine will decide to drop in for a visit. It would certainly be nice to catch up on what’s been going on with each of them.

So, anyway, as to what you will find in my blog. You will read about life on Almosta Ranch, our ten acres of heaven located in Southwest Missouri. Almosta Ranch is populated by various animals both great and small. We raise and breed Quarter Horses and have four brood mares and one Stallion. We also raise and sell mini-pigs, Holland Lop Rabbits and the assorted chickens and their eggs. Add to this mix a rather extensive dog pack and you have a full time job for one old retired guy and his lovely wife. You also get humorous adventures on an almost daily basis.

I look forward to getting to know each of you and maybe entertaining a few of you with my future entries.

Welcome to Almosta.
