God's glorious sunrise in NE Oklahoma.
Our second snow of the winter was also a
blizzard (for our neck of the woods), New Year's Eve. Ben still has the wood
stove smokin'. We're already off to a grand start for the
year. Sold a few left over lambs at Diamond, Missouri - Ben
thought he hit the big time as they sold for almost double what he
was expecting. Training dogs are coming and going. Get
your name on Ben's list. He's cut back the number of outside
dogs again he's taking. Geez, does he think he's retired or
something? And another great grandbaby arrived!
Thanks to all of you who voted for our
Cowboy Junction School to get them in the running for the US
Cellular $100,000. We are on pins and needles waiting to
hear if we stayed in the top 10 and will receive the money.
Stay safe, keep warm, Ben and Leslie |

Above left, Danny Farris of
Kentucky picks up Shep. Thanks Danny for your
understanding and patience in waiting for Ben to recover
from his injury to train Shep. Above right, Colton
Hess (left) and buddies, Anson and Big Colton cut, hand split and
hauled us a load of firewood. Colton, you are
appreciated. Your thoughtfulness kept us cozy and
warm during that bitter stretch of weather. |

See, that firewood paid off - even
the house critters appreciated it! |

Yes, all of us enjoyed snoozing by
the fire! Right, William
Fullbright almost 3 months old! He's settled right into
being the third member of the team with mom and dad. Dad
Matt Fullbright and Mom
Dr. Elizabeth Fullbright. |

Above left Brother Bernard and
Sister Donna Sue. Bernard and Ben took their baby
sister out to dinner in Springfield, Missouri on her
birthday. Center our handsome Grandson Dustin with his
brand new son Brayton. Right Great-Grandaughter
Avery with her very first horse from Grandad and Meemaw.

Lena's puppies are here born
late January. They're eyes are open and they are fat
as toads. |

Above left we met Dr. Bill and son Riley (check out Riley's new
belt buckle) Ormston at Clanton's in Vinita for lunch. They were
making the rounds before heading back to Texas. Above right,
Buddy
Ed Hamersley, Walker, Missouri and Ben chatting after swapping
dogs in Joplin, Missouri. |

Ben and Bill checking out his
Chyro-ryde western saddle interface (blanket). These
two cowboys think alike. Ben had put together a not
so sophisticated version back in the 60's for his horses.

Left, the left over lambs
we sold at White's in Diamond, Missouri in January.
Matt Fullbright was
looking after neighbor Mike Kessel's cattle while they were
out of town. Matt had Ben come help him load out
calves - our roads were so bad with freeze boils -
something they don't often see down here. They had to pull
this semi out at the loading chute. He made it -
this is him on his way out to the highway. |

Brad Ledbetter, Missouri,
brought Sissy over for training first of February.
Ben giving her a try. Yep, this was right after our
third big snow. Ben's talking about moving further
south, like Big Cabin (just south of Vinita) for the
winter! |
