This is a Charlie Russell painting titled “The Wagon Boss.” The Scoop Loop this week will be about seeing things from the top of a hill so this is on theme.
My mom’s grandmother cleaned house for the Russells and my Mother gave me a book of prints that Charlie Russell gave my great grandmother. My favorite Russell is titled “The Roundup 2” and I will put it up here someday.

This is a great shot of Mouse Hall, a stock contractor from Browning, Montana. The Indian National Finals Rodeo just completed in Vegas, and I wanted to recognize all the great Native American cowboys and cowgirls.

It was my grandmother, Alice Pate’s 90th birthday. We had a big family get together for her. She is an amazing woman that has been through it all, from the depression to the death of a husband. It was a great day for everyone and only my granny could make everyone that attended feel special. She’s special.
