This blog is a joint effort with stories and reminiscences of my cousin Carol and I. We both spent our entire childhood from birth through college on "the Ranch". The Currier Ranch is located approximately 16 miles east of the little town of Collbran in Western Colorado (northeast of Grand Mesa and about 60 miles east of Grand Junction).
We had a very unique childhood in a beautiful remote place that fostered good values, great imagination and creativity, and a healthy environment. We grew up strong and true following the five cardinal rules for growing up on the Ranch: 1) Never touch Dad's gun 2) Never go into the dynamite shed 3) Never touch to blasting caps 4) Never swim in the pond without a parent present and 5) Come home immediately when Mom honks the car horn. These rules served us well and we all grew up without getting shot, blasted, drowned, or lost!
Carol and I are the oldest of the Ranch cousins....4 kids in Carol's family and 5 in mine. We were born about 9 months apart and grew up together from babyhood. Our mothers were good friends and depended upon each other, since they were the only young women in a very remote and isolated ranch with a mother-in-law that tended to be critical and demanding.
We will try to entertain and inform our readers with true stories of our growing up years and hope that you will enjoy our trials, tears, successes, and "mischieviousnesses." Much more to come!!!
