New Boots!
Remember that second pair of boots I was supposed to be making with the bootmaker over in Manton? You may not because I started them three or four years ago and haven’t done a thing with them since. Up until now that is. I’ve skipped straight past all that cumbersome cutting and skiving and stitching and gone straight on to strutting around in them. How, you say? Well, the bootmaker finished them for me in trade for help with a how-to DVD he’s making. Isn’t bartering cool?

Self-Promotion Inspires Me to Write Again
The Western Folklife Center just put up my most recent short film, “What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?” Yay!

I'm Floored!
Things are moving right along with the house. They finished the sub-floor yesterday. We passed another inspection, too. On Monday, they’ll put in the radiant heat, and then it’s on to the walls. Hooray!

Big Doin's in Blocksburg
A lot of exciting things have happened since we last chatted. Over the weekend, Frew and my new fast friend Tim drove up to attend the Fortuna Rodeo with me. Besides baking in the grandstands, we ate an inordinate amount of meat, drank beer, and bullshitted with a bunch of smelly cowboys (yay!). Tim also brought his photography equipment and snapped some great portraits of my friends and neighbors.
In other news, the concrete trucks came streaming in yesterday and dumped more than 40 yards of the stuff within the forms Brandon, Josh, and Cliff built last week. Brandon tells me they’ll start in with the hammers and nails next week. So exciting!

Lil' Squirt Roams Burr Creek
A couple weekends ago, I went four-wheeling down on the Chalk Mountain Ranch with a gal pal from elementary school. I took this picture of her little dog, Squirt, on Burr Creek.
