Herding words – or cattle – in South Eastern Montana
In a recent post I mentioned Thor, who has allowed me to write his story and whose story is now available to read in the Nonfiction section of my web site. Or you can follow this link to it. Thor is now a 2 year old steer but when he was a 4 month old calf, he was caught in a water tank. Thor’s Story is about his rescue, injuries and recovery. I hope you enjoy getting to know Thor through his story. Thor rules!

I just put the first chapter of my novel Magpie Summer on my web site. Find it in Books (Unpublished), then select Magpie Summer Excerpt on the drop down menu.
After you read the chapter, please leave a comment on my website Contact page or on my Facebook page. Can’t wait to hear your comments! Remember, since I haven’t published yet I could still incorporate suggestions…
It has taken me nearly as long to update my web page at sandystahlauthor.com with my new story on the development of stirrups as it did to write it! Problem seemed to be with our satellite network connection, which is just a fact of our rural living. Finally though, it’s there!
Please check out the story by going to Stirrups – An Historical View. It’s one of the stories under the Nonfiction section of my web site. Then please leave a comment or share with a friend…but mostly I hope you enjoy learning a little more about the history of stirrups.
Yesterday I started an oral history interview with a wonderful friend, a 97 year old ranch woman. I shared my first set of interview questions so she could have time to think about her responses. She said the questions are hard and I told her we’d use them as a basis to start the interview and could go anywhere she wanted from there.
As I drove home, I thought about my potential responses. Here is a sampling of the questions; how would you answer them?
