Gabby the Tabby's 25th Birthday

 

Today would have been Gabby the Tabby's 25th Birthday - I miss you so much little piggie kitty. 

Longmire Days 2025 - Keep Calm Have Courage and Wait for Signs

 LONGMIRE 2025 - STAY CALM, HAVE COURAGE, AND WAIT FOR SIGNS!! 

Waiting......waiting......not calm....not waiting! 😛 HAHAHA - I love going to "Durant, WY" every year. It's always great fun. 

Longmire Days Early Access Tickets went on sale on June 6, 2025!! I purchased one and was in the first 1500 people, so I received a bandana!

I donated this year, somethiing I have always wanted to do! It was possible thanks to mom. So that got me to VIP tickets to the VIP Reception at the TA Ranch.

And I comfirmed my volunteer paperwork! Rudi came this year, and we put in for our volunteer stuff like we do every year.  

Wednesday day we drove to Sheridan and went to King Ropes and through their museum, then Wednesday night we did a horse wagon ride around town and then we went to the Volunteer meet and greet meeting. It's always fun getting to see everyone that is returning and meet the new ones that are coming at the same time. 

Just a Funny for Star Wars Fans, Rudi got Order 66

Thursday: I worked the Johnson County Cattle War 101 talk and the Hardware of Longmire Talk. Both were great talks this year.  Rudi had a day off of volunteering and went to the Tea with Ruby. 

Then we went to the VIP Reception. It was a good evening with good food. 

Friday it was up and at them for a BUSY day. First off was the 2025 Longmire Days 5k and Fun Run - Rudi ran a check point station and I was checking runners in. Then we had to haul bootie up to work the Autograph Session with Craig and Longmire Cast Members. It was sold out as usual, but I like the 3-session split i think it makes it easier than having all the people in the room getting restless and moving around all the time like in previous years. Then it was running to A Longmire Conversation which is a talk with the cast and Craig. 

Then back to the hotel to cool off from the heat a bit and I went to the Auction. I wasn't a runner this year, just got to sit back and enjoy the selling and buying.

My favorite picture of Craig and Judy Johnson during the Auction.

Saturday: We got up and went to the pancake breakfast - Rudi ate my pancakes and I ate her ham, because i can't have the pancakes. Then down to help line up the parade. The Longmire Parade on Main Street had 3 "Sheriff" Broncos which was cool to see and Craig's "Ruby" plus some great vehicles hauling the actors and other fun entrants too like the Rainier Beer bottles (guys in Rainier Beer bottle costumes). 

Then it was hurry again up to the Autograph Session with Craig and Longmire Cast Members and the Saturday A Conversation with the Cast, then down to work the early shift at the Street Dance which had a great band. 

Sunday - I bought a ticket to the horseback ride so I went riding. I love Paradise Ranch. It is absolutely lovely. My horse didn't want a selfie, but the cute Appie that was next to us did so I got pictures with him. 

Sine I was riding I bought Rudi a ticket to the Brunch with Ruby. Then to the Volunteer Reception and then to the Longmire Days 2025 Wrap Party and Concert. It was another great year and I can't wait for 2026!
