So Western Bonanza is pretty much what started it all!
I had booked a hotel in Paso, months in advanced, with the intentions of participating in the show. The cattle crew I show with decided to give the heifers a rest this go around but I didn't want to just cancel the reservations and showcation. So I took the camera and made the trip to cooler weather for a showcation/Valentines weekend with some great friends. It turned out to be a good thing that I didn't show because by 1:00 on heifer show day, I was down. And I mean DOWN with a cold of some sort. I really wasn't sure how I was going to make the trek home. After getting home, editing a few photos, and sharing them on my personal Instagram page, I decided I had more fun in the photography scene than I had thought. So Ramblin Rose Photography slowly started to become somethin and a few months later, we are here!
These photos are by no means great seeing as I had the wrong lens all weekend long. But a few came out share worthy so, here ya go!

A letter to my cat
Dear Tigger,
Please stop locking yourself in the bathroom and/or bedroom. I have had to rescue you three times in the past two days. When you shut the door, the other cats cannot reach important things like their food, water, and litter box. While your cries for help are truly pitiful, I do not enjoy having to liberate you from your prison every few hours. Surely this will not be a difficult skill to learn. After all, none of the other cats struggle with this issue. And what will you do if I'm out of town when you lock yourself in? So, for the peace and sanitation of this apartment, please, please, please stop pushing the doors closed!
you people mommy

I had a cat named Tigger - he was wonderful! My current cats, thankfully, never close doors and if we do, they let us know - they hate not having access to the entire house at all times! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment!

SOME of the greatest gifts you can pass on to your children are life's key financial lessons.
Along with reading, respect and healthy eating, good money habits can set your kids up for life and possibly make them rich.
So here are four financial lessons to teach your young — or not so young — kids to pave the way for a wealthy future. They'll thank you one day.
Teaching kids about the benefits of goal setting and delayed gratification through budgeting and pocket money is a classic but often misused financial lesson.
While the general idea of pocket money is they have to make do with the amount they're allocated each week, parents often muddy the message by showering kids with gifts or extra payments with no rhyme or reason.
KOCHIE'S CORNER: More news and tips from David Koch
Young minds are highly impressionable, and they'll quickly realise they don't need to put anything off as they can just rely on their parents to make up any shortfalls.
Not the best lesson for later life, you'll probably agree.
The key here is to remain strict and to get involved. For example, if they simply can't live without the latest computer game, doll house or iPod, offer to keep a bit of their pocket money aside for them each week or buy them a lockup piggy bank.
And when they finally get there, celebrate with them because they've earned it. Rest assured they'll remember that lesson when that computer game becomes a car or house for their own family down the track.
Holding a part-time job, whatever it happens to be, is an essential part of growing up.
It teaches children about responsibility, honouring commitments and the value
of money.
All our kids started working at McDonald's as soon as they were old enough and we reckon that was crucial in developing the work ethic they have today.
One of the most memorable lessons for a child who's just started work is to show them your weekly grocery bill and compare each item to their hourly wage. They'll soon realise the value those dollars actually represent. And don't forget the housework. Setting kids chores at home, whether laundry, cleaning or making their own lunches, is another great way to show that nothing in this life comes for free.
The sooner kids learn how to work diligently and effectively, the better equipped they'll be to succeed later on.
The magic of compounding is arguably the greatest financial gift you can pass on.
Putting a little away, on a regular basis, over an extended period of time is one of the wonders of wealth creation. With time very much on their side, it's never too early to start teaching them about investing.
There are so many ways to go about this. Many parents like to start an investment or savings account to pay for their children's education, so why not bring them on this journey to teach them about investing for the long term?
As they get older, start to explain to them how shares work with practical examples.
If they're having a soft drink, or going with you to the bank or supermarket, let them know that they can buy shares in the business that runs the company.
Why not suggest they participate in the ASX share market game? They can even compete against you to fuel a bit of family rivalry.
Armed with a great financial education around saving, working and investing, your kids will be in the best possible position to succeed independently on their own when they grow up.
4 RISK Versus REWARD
They need to understand that when something is too good to be true, it normally is, because the risks are generally higher.
Assessing risks, matching them with the rewards, and deciding whether it's worth it, is the key not only to investing but also general life decisions. Passing on those risk assessment skills can that on can be life changing.

Replacing the screen mesh on a FlexScreen
A quick learner from McDonough, GA says:
October 4, 2016
If the screen needs replaced, can I use the same frame? Can I purchase replacement screens at my local home improvement store for DIY?
Thank You,
Thank You,
Tom from SWISCO responded:
October 6, 2016
Hello! Yes, you can use new screen mesh on the same frame. The screens use heat to secure to the frame; specifically, we use the 75-101 Versa-Tool to do this. We don't currently have instructions on how, but a detailed video is in the works and we hope to have it online in the future. We also sell replacement screen mesh here. Let me know if you have any other questions.
A contractor from Louisville Ky says:
January 5, 2017
A couple of questions, we use your screens in our windows and there is going to be a time that we need to replace the screen for various reasons. Is the screen a specific type or can we use normal fiberglass screen to replace the screen material. That detailed video would definitely be helpful or some type of instructions would certainly help the learning curve..
Thanks Doug
Thanks Doug
Mike from SWISCO responded:
January 6, 2017
Thanks for your question, Doug. You can use regular fiberglass screen mesh to repair your Flexscreens. We hope to have the "how to" video up and running soon.

Getting Results: Charlotte company helps stolen food truck owners
CHARLOTTE, NC (WJZY) - After a food truck was stolen last month, a Charlotte based company is taking action in the hopes of getting the truck back on the road.
Jill Young and her husband continue to call police weekly, frustrated the suspect who stole their truck hasn't been caught.
"This has been our livelihood. Our life has stopped because of the situation," Jill Young said.
Their unique red trailer was stolen and recovered days later with thousands of dollars of equipment missing.
Jill Young was forced to e-mail frequent customers, notifying them they would be out of business.
AvidXchange invited the truck for a lunch service once before, where employees immediately fell in love with the food and friendly service.
"We were devastated. We couldn't believe such bad luck happened to a good family," said one employee.
So employees took action, to get results by inviting the Young's back for lunch service. This time with their smaller push cart.
"AvidXchange also jumped in and pitched in to buy all the employees in the entire building Italian Ice from them just to bring them some of their business back."
Nearly every one of the 260 employees purchased Italian ice, bringing a much needed boost to a family who lost their only source of income.
"It really breaks me down that there are people with compassion and people with genuine and who really care," Jill Young said.
AvidXchange is continuing to take action to get results for the Young family.

Urinary tract problems and possible digestive problem
Patient : My granddaughter had a serious (temp of 104 for several days) UTI at 12mos of age, which required having a catheter placed. She was in pain and has a vivid memory of that incident. She is now three years old and highly intelligent (spoke in complete sentences at 17 mos). She has gone through a lot of difficulty with toilet training and was wetting unpredictably on a continuous basis, seemingly unaware of being wet. Her mother became quite frustrated and was convinced that it was defiance. Now she is wetting only when she has a training diaper on at nap and bedtime. Occasionally she'll pee into a potty at my house but tells me it hurts. In addition, she only has bowel movements every three days and they are huge blobs, unlike anything I've every seen. It is as though they just fall out of her body. I am concerned but my daughter-in-law has reservations about seeing doctors, which is why she had the temp of 104 for 5days before she was seen. She had to have intravenous fluids at the time because she was so dehydrated. I am concerned as there is a history of kidney disease and urethra problems in my family, which I have informed them about.
Symptoms: Frequent urination; then withholding of urination; withholding of bowel movements. Bowel movements in blobs
Doctor : Thank you for your question. It is possible that your granddaughter is suffering from a chronic urinary tract infection. Since these symptoms are persisting, it is important that promptly have her reevaluated by her doctor. It is possible that this infection, if left untreated can lead to infection of the kidney's, which can cause permanent damage. She may need another course of antibiotics to completely clear this infection. Please be guided accordingly. Thank you for consulting AskTheDoctor.com

Cranberry sauce is so easy to make its really a sin against your stomach to go for that jellied canned stuff. Sure, slicing that can shape can be fun, but its really an inferior product.
The basic recipe on the bag is pretty good. Bring one cup of water + one of sugar to boil, throw in berries and cook til they are all popped, 10-15 min. You can add a bit of orange juice (a spoonful of frozen concentrate works well) in at the end for a flavor boost.
Or, you can try the variation I learned from my midwestern Mom. Drain a small can of crushed pineapple, saving the juice. Add water to the juice to make up the 1 C of liquid, add 1 cup sugar and bring to boil. Throw in cranberries as above and cook til they pretty much all burst. Turn off the heat and stir in the crushed pineapple, together with finely chopped candied ginger to taste (I use 1 tbsp chopped per 12 oz pack of berries) or alternatively some dried ginger powder mixed with an equal amount of sugar. You can also add some OJ if you want. This is the recipe I make every year, and it is EASY.
Have a happy, happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

AUSTRALIA'S unemployment rate is expected to have risen in February, despite improving business and consumer confidence.
An AAP survey of 15 economists, reveals a median forecast for the unemployment rate to rise 5.5 per cent in February, from 5.4 per cent the previous month.
Total employment is expected to grow by 8,000 in the month, while the participation rate - the percentage of the working-age population either in work or looking for a job - is expected to remain unchanged at 65.0.
AMP chief economist Dr Shane Oliver said total employment was not expected to have grown quickly enough to offset population growth.
"It's basically just a relatively soft jobs market at the moment," he said.
"We're expecting continued modest jobs growth, but probably not enough to stop the unemployment rate gradually drifting higher."
Dr Oliver expects the jobs market to continue to weaken until the middle of 2013 as growth in mining investment slows and underperforming sectors of the economy like housing struggle to gain traction.
But he believes the situation will improve in the second half of the year, as lower interest rates work their way through the economy.
"I suspect it will probably continue for the next six months and then when economic growth starts to pick up through the second half of the year in response to low interest rates, then I expect jobs growth will start to pick up again," he said.
The Reserve Bank of Australia left the cash rate unchanged at three per cent in February and March after cutting by 1.75 percentage points between November 2011 and December 2012.
St George chief economist Hans Kunnen said it was too soon for the recent improvement in business and consumer sentiment to impact on the jobs market.
"We acknowledge there has been a pick-up in sentiment but we're just not sure that's going to flow through to the labour market quite yet," he said.
But CMC chief economist Michael McCarthy believes the rebound in confidence since the start of 2013 would have a positive impact on the February figures, mostly through growth in part-time jobs.
He said concerns about the international economy had deterred businesses from putting on part-time staff in late 2012 but with signs of improvement in the US and China employers should be comfortable about boosting staff numbers.
"So we should see a catch up on those part-time positions that weren't filled in the fourth quarter of 2012," he said.
