Wrinkly Bits Blog
The Computer Gods are Cranky
Wednesday night I wrote this dandy blog, a laugh a minute, and giggled all the way through. I’d read it one more time and sent it off to my full-of-sunshine editor in the morning, who would pull her...
Lessons on Loneliness from Small Town America
This morning I read a Facebook post talking about loneliness, that is, the difficulty of living alone. I get that. Being alone is hard. Being with others gives us the opportunity to laugh, argue,...
Toothbrushes and Lemons
As you know, I receive a lot of junk mail, spam, and other useless “stuff” on my computer and my phone. It’s a waste of time to write it and I certainly don’t want to read it, so often wonder who in...
All Done
A Blog by Gail Cushman I haven’t been around a lot of babies since my youngest grandchild started thinking like a teenager, when she was almost two years old and asked if she could borrow my car,...
Shopping with Cowboy Bob
Packing for a long trip was difficult. We were passing through about twenty states, three time zones, some states that never see winter (Florida and other southern states) and one that never...
Wedding Presents
Wrinkly Bits A Blog by Gail Cushman I couldn’t go to sleep last night, too much on my mind, I think. We are packing for another trip, this time to Washington D. C. to take “stuff” to my newly...
Bears and Stars
A Blog by Cowboy Bob My gal and I took a boat trip on the Missouri river a short time ago and the beauty was stupendous, cliffs sliding down to the water, towering mountains above us, and all kinds...
Doing Stuff
I’m a little late with my blog this week. I don’t have an excuse, just that I have been busy, doing “stuff,” and I’m not sure what it is. When I worked full time, I didn’t have trouble getting...
An Adventuresome Spirit
This week I had the opportunity to do two things. I love to write and feel that no day should pass without putting a few words on a paper. Sometimes they are useful, other times not so much, but...
Who Me?
My oldest grandson, Nathanial, a Marine, is getting married to a lovely young woman, Rebekah. They are both from Alaska, but he is stationed in Washington D. C. where he is doing Marine Corps jobs,...
Burning Daylight
Wrinkly Bits A Blog by Gail Cushman Burning Daylight My dad used to say this phrase to my brothers and me every Saturday, as he double-timed it up the stairs and ripped the pillows from under our...
Apple Pie and Switchbacks
“I’d sure like a piece of pie, so why don’t we take a little ride in the Mustang to see if we can find some?” the cowboy said to me on Saturday morning. Just another adventure, I thought, recalling...
Ten Words
Ten. 10. X. Just ten words changed my life from routine to chaotic. The cowboy suggested, “Why don’t you sell your house and move to Montana?” Oh, boy Could ten little words really make such a...
A True Story
Wrinkly Bits I was sitting here, minding my own business, watching a baseball game, Cardinals vs somebody. I am a Cardinals fan, and the score was 1-0, Cardinals, so I thought it was a good time to...
I’ll Never Tell
Life is all about change and let me tell you that my life is changing faster than you can say lickity split. Fifteen months ago, I had a very serene, predictable life, even boring. I would get up in...
Haymaker Heaven
A Blog by Cowboy Bob Well, my Idaho gal landed a haymaker on this old cowboy’s heart, and I like it. This is a love affair, and I love her. The last few years have been a rugged trail for both...
A Heck of a Week
It’s been a heck of a week, and I thought I would walk you through some of what I’ve been doing for the last few days. Shoulder surgery is in the rearview mirror, but there is a second part of any...
My Daily Goals
I’m a one-armed blogger this week…two weeks out of a shoulder replacement. It was a reverse job, but I’m unsure what that means. The doc explained it twice, and I tried to listen twice, but it went...
Easy Keeper or Svelte
A Blog by Cowboy Bob As a Cowboy, one of my skills is looking at cows and horses and making sure they are healthy and if they are getting enough to eat or if they are too thin. My widow friend in...
It Ain’t Easy
My mother told me there would times like this, but I didn’t believe her. I should have. I’m a perfect 76-year-old specimen, just ask my doctor, but if that’s true, why does every bone in my body...
The Stillwater River Flood of 2022 (Part 2)
This is a continuation of Part 1. Although this event really happened to real people, I have fictionalized parts of it and changed the names…please check my website if you missed Part 1....
The Stillwater River Flood of 2022 (Part 1)
As you know, I have been back and forth from Idaho to Montana and in June this year, I was in Montana during the 500 floods. I met several people who bravely faced this flooding catastrophe and told...
