so many things have happened since i last wrote. our family grew, the dog chased a bear, we saw the northern lights at a time and place they shouldn't have been seen. then we finally made it to wyoming. i am still sore at scott for convincing me to try that horrid medicinal whisky.....the thing is, he did this to me when i was learning to shoot a gun....."no, it wont hurt that bad...you've shot several already....this one wont be any worse than those...." NOT!!! that damn gun about knocked me on my ass!!! AND HE LAUGHED AT ME! he said "sorry honey, but you needed to know how it felt to shoot this rifle..." thankfully, i am not that bad at shooting anymore. the kickback doesnt bother me as much as it used to. i can control my horse and shoot at the same time. im a real calamity jane...the last outpost we came to, we traded them some jerky and a thick blanket for some cream and some honey. the cream we kept in a two litre bottle attached to the wheel of the cart we made. that night when we stopped, it had churned into butter. we had bread and butter with our chilli and rice. we used some cinnamon and some sugar in the bread. it was sooooo goood. it was warm, buttery and sweet. i gotta go, im helping ride securty tonight. dont worry, i am not going too far away.
