About Me
Hi, everybody! Just wanted to take a minute introduce myself. I’m a ranch kid from Montana. I spent many years (waaaay too many years) in the DC area working for Uncle Sam, but now I’m home again, living near the mountains. :> I like to hike, dance, and read (no TV), and I am passionately interested in women’s issues – microfinance, in particular – in developing countries. I have four grown rats of my own. I’m opinionated and difficult (just ask the bugbirds). And the title? Two Bits was the name of the best horse that ever ran on the Lazy DS Quarter Circle Ranch.

Hey, Hon. We are trying to count your rats but we can only come up with three?
Yours,
Mitch, Doug & Babe

got it! now another question - i can see that’s you on horseback- are you riding “Two Bits” there? what beautiful scenery behind you! where were you riding and is that your dad with you?

dad & i are going to silver run. it looks as if i’m riding Ross’s or Scott’s horse. Ross’s horse Sunny was a palomino, & Scott’s horse was even lighter.
