A Porch of My Own: From Tiny House To Small House
http://rockinrsranch.blogspot.com/2015/08/from-tiny-house-to-small-house.html
A Porch of My Own. A Porch of My Own. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. From Tiny House To Small House. There's no changing my mind now. For better or worse, the tiny house now has a 344 sq ft addition! The carpenters from Spring Branch Trading Post. Got the job done in 5 days, working late most days to finish. Spring Branch built the original cabin shell, plus the bunkhouse shell, and a couple of sheds we have. They're very reasonably priced and the people are great. Why did I add this? I'm waiting now on contr...

A Porch of My Own: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

A Porch of My Own. A Porch of My Own. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words. Except for a few things, mostly decorative, the bunkhouse is ready to go! After the holidays and hunting season we will skirt the bunkhouse, build a front deck, and put a crushed granite path to the cabin. The plumber had to become a carpenter and add some wood to move the tiny sink away from the wall so he would have room for the p-trap. I tiled it and now there is a tiny counter! Also need to hide th...

A Porch of My Own: The Walls Came Tumbling Down
http://rockinrsranch.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-walls-came-tumbling-down.html
A Porch of My Own. A Porch of My Own. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. The Walls Came Tumbling Down. The builder is coming out this week to get the shell for the addition started. He said it should take a week to ten days so I'll soon have my project going! Being petrified of spiders, respectful of rattlesnakes, and just generally scared to death of crawl spaces, I had to reach deep inside myself for courage! I haven't seen Tougher Than Leather in weeks now. That's happened several times these last months s...

A Porch of My Own: August 2010
http://rockinrsranch.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
A Porch of My Own. A Porch of My Own. Monday, August 30, 2010. This recipe was posted on the Gooseberry Patch Facebook page. The nice lady that posted it said she makes it for her mom in the nursing home. It has no kernels so is easy on the teeth and easy to swallow. In fact, it melts in your mouth! I made a batch for my mom and she loved it! Only drawback - it is addictive! You have to make extra just because you eat so much of it in the making. It is super easy. Better Made Caramel Corn. Photo - Mama w...

A Porch of My Own: Since You Went Away
http://rockinrsranch.blogspot.com/2014/12/since-you-went-away.html
A Porch of My Own. A Porch of My Own. Friday, December 19, 2014. Since You Went Away. Rickie is home to stay now but it's not the way we wanted, the way we planned, the way we spent years preparing for. He had a heart attack two days before Thanksgiving and he didn't survive. And just that quick, my world crumbled. I know in my heart that the reason it hurts so much is because I loved him so much but I take little comfort in that. But the world isn't right and I don't call it fair. A few days before "the...

A Porch of My Own: Women of the Land
http://rockinrsranch.blogspot.com/2015/04/women-of-land.html
A Porch of My Own. A Porch of My Own. Saturday, April 4, 2015. Women of the Land. Back in February I was at a brush control workshop partially sponsored by Texas Wildlife Association. Checking out their website I saw they have a program called Women of the Land. They offered workshops geared to women living on rural or ranch land, and interested in conservation, wildlife, and land management. What if I got too sad? What if I felt out of place? We had all brought a couple of bottles of wine, and Sarah and...

A Porch of My Own: Bernie Ann
http://rockinrsranch.blogspot.com/2014/09/bernie-ann.html
A Porch of My Own. A Porch of My Own. Sunday, September 14, 2014. In 1990, the second year we had our property, we brought a 1968 Layton travel trailer out here. It was 28' long, if I remember correctly. We left Houston with it around 8:30 at night, too excited to wait until morning! Finally, the first weak light of morning appeared. We walked across the parking lot to the cafe and ordered some biscuits and gravy. Then we headed out to our place with our travel trailer! We never imagined we would be usin...

A Porch of My Own: Those Healing Hands of Time
http://rockinrsranch.blogspot.com/2015/06/those-healing-hands-of-time.html
A Porch of My Own. A Porch of My Own. Saturday, June 13, 2015. Those Healing Hands of Time. I've started on a new project. I've been back and forth on whether to do this or not for several months. I decided last week to move forward with it. I'm going to add on to the little cabin. In a few weeks this space in the photo will be a bedroom and bathroom, connected to the cabin by a hallway and a small deck. I've been happy in the tiny cabin and Rickie and I would have been even happier. We spent a lot o...
