What a weekend!




Well folks we got our tractor this weekend finally. We bought Tangled Mane Ranch 2 years and 7 1/2 months ago. It is 16 1/2 acres with 14 acres for horse pasture. When we bought the ranch it was just the land with a fence around it and a pond. Well since we bought it we moved our single wide 16 by 60 single wide mobile home onto the property to live in, we have built a barn some of it new material and some of it used off of chicken houses that were being tore down, We have put a fence along the drive way, put a fenced in area around the house, tried to get some of the fence line cleaned out, Oh my oh my I could go on and on. There has been alot of work here at the ranch though since we bought it. We were to the point where we really needed a tractor. We had decided that we would start pricing the packaged deals and figure out what were going to have to do to get one. Well of course I knew that the main most important thing I could do was PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. So that is what i started doing. I told the Lord to let his will be done, Let us be able to come up with what ever we was going to have to come up with to get a tractor. I told him to just show us the way. Well folks he could not have made it much clearer for us. Thursday Don called around pricing packages then we talked about it friday morning and decided which one we was going to go for. So Don on on the phone with Perrin and Gray equipment sales from Fort Smith, AR the man took the credit app over the phone. He said he would call us back in a hour or so and let us know what they can do for us. Well I had to leave for work so I just prayed all the way to work for Gods will to be done. Well about 4 P.M Don called me at work and said they were going to deliver the tractor the next morning (Saturday) at 8 or 9. We didn't even figure we would get one with out a down much less get one the next day. We were figuring it to be Feb. before we could get one. We had started calling cause we wanted to know how much money we had to save up for our down. Well anyway they delivered the tractor yesterday morning and we feel So Blessed. We really needed this tractor. The top pic is Don signing the papers, the next pic is just before they unloaded it, and the last two pic's is them unloading the tractor. Today I went to church and had to run errands after church so didn't get to take pic's of Don using the tractor for the first time. But I will get some pic's posted for you of us using the tractor here on the ranch. We unloaded it yesterday and we trail riding so he didn't get to use it yesterday. But today he started moving some big rocks up on the dam of the pond and tomorrow the dozier will be here to clear the creek and fix the pond. We have alot of plans for that tractor and are getting started right away on them. Well anyway I just had to share with you all how God has Blessed our lives this week. I have to work tomorrow then I am off work the rest of the week. Hope you all have a Spirit filled night. God Bless!

Sunny day here at the ranch

Well folks not alot going on around there today. Don and I have been on this computer this morning looking at tractors. We really need one and we are fixing to get one of our payments paid off in January so we are looking for something that we can do a little dirt work and we have to have  a brush hog with it. I guess we are going to go to town tomorrow and talk to a guy about one. We are hoping to have a tractor by spring.
Well anyway I would like to ask you all to keep a young man Sam Kieth and his family in your prays. Sam's mom was in a accident with 3 teens that had been drinking yesterday evening. The last I knew they were life flighting her to Little Rock and they did not expect her to live. I have not heard anything today but please keep them in your prayer. Also the boys that were driving the other car and their families need our prayers too.
Guess I better get off here for right now. I have a lot to do before I leave for work. Hope you all have a spirit filled day!!! God Bless!

Good hot chocolate day here at the ranch


Well good morning folks I am sure our deer hunters are liking this cooler weather for their hunting season. Last weekend when the season started they were sitting in deer stands sweating it was so warm. The deer were not moving alot then. But now!They sure were shooting alot for the deer to not be moving. LOL. Yesterday morning Don and I were sitting here doing alot of nothing and heard a knock on the door. When I went to answer it Ronnie Kieth one  of our dear friends was at the door and he had got his deer. I am sharing a picture I took of it of course out little dog max was checking it out too. He got it just behind our house here in the national forest just behind us. We was so excited for him and was so glad he stopped by to show us. We didn't even see him go in back there yesterday morning. But we heard him shoot when he shot it. I told Don when we heard the shots that someone had just got a deer back there. Anyway he got him a nice 8 point buck yesterday morning. He was getting pretty discouraged he said cause he had not had much luck all week long and it had been so warm. Yesterday morning was actually the first cool morning since the season started and they were moving around more I guess. Well anyway other than that not alot going on here at the ranch. I hope you all have a Blessed day! God Bless!

Rainy morning here at the ranch.

Well all not alot going on here at the ranch this morning. We went out and fed the horses and groomed them. Then we came in and I started working on some Christmas gifts I am making. Then I thought maybe I should balance my check book since I had not done that in a week. Now Don is watching the history channel on tv and I am getting ready to go fix lunch and get things ready to go to work today. It is a cool rainy day here at Tangeld Mane so we are just taking it easy today. Hope you all have a wonderful spirit filled week. God Bless!
