It is a fact, that besides the world needing more Aloha, the world needs more cowboys…friendly, helpful and lotsa,“Howdy M’ams” said with a smile and a tip of their cowboy hats. We learned that first-hand when moving from Maui to the “Team Roping Capital of the WORLD”: Wickenburg, Arizona.
And, of course, most of the cowboys travel with their horses! If they’ve won a few rodeos, then their favorite mode of transportation would be a luxury equine motorhome. Many will house horses in the back in separate stalls divided by swinging gates. There’s also storage for hay. Meanwhile, the cowboys and their families enjoy life up front in Marriott style living quarters.
Now, to me, just knowing that your horse is in the house goes beyond hollering . . . ”take off your boots” or “wipe your feet!” I remember yammering at the kids when their rooms were an absolute mess, “Do you guys think we live in a barn?” Well a rolling dude ranch is the perfect case where families do live in a barn.
Lorraine is a former needlecraft designer who formed her own company (Fingerworks, Inc.)
during the 1970’s and 80’s. With this marketing experience, she ventured back into her chosen
field of film and television and rose up the ranks as an executive with Warner Bros. (Time-Warner). She is also a landscaping professional, author, humorist and artist. She has published four books: “The Tale of Peeky Peeper” (a fun children’s rhyming Holiday book, which she also illustrated); followed by her humorous memoir, “A Nobody in a Somebody World: My Hollywood Life in Beverly Hills.” Playfulness is the theme in whatever she does, as you’ll see in the two versions of her puzzle-like charted coloring books: “Griddles.” When she’s not creating something, you’ll find this 82 year-old grandma whacking a Pickle Ball, teaching movie
history, testing new recipes on her husband, Tom, or serving on the board of the Del Webb Performing Arts Center in Wickenburg, AZ.
