Saturday!!!

Jensens had a bull sale in Sullivan's arena today. Albert Sommers sold seven bulls there, and this is two of them. The sale went quite well. BZ, if you are reading this, Dale Jensen talked about running into you in Laramie! And yes, he's our closest neighbor...right across the fence. A good neighbor, I might add! From there we went to Grace Anderson's 80th birthday party. This is Ruth Oliver and Frosty Steele.

Bob is telling Grace happy birthday. Mike Miller is looking on holding his grandbaby, and Grace's great grand baby!!!

Ruth is enjoying Robin's company and Sally Mackey's.

Then we went to dinner at Lynn and Joe Thomas's, and enjoyed their new winter home. I teased Joe that most people went south for the winter, not north! We met Bonnie and Craig Scharf, who are Boulder neighbors to Thomas's. It was a fun evening. Oh, a note on Lynn's blog, she's not getting internet right now, and likely won't for several days. So don't worry about her if you notice she's not updating her blog. The phone company came in and put in phone outlets and now she can't get on line. Wouldn't you know!!!

And as I write this, I'm enjoying my new computer desk. It's wonderful...and many thanx to Bob for putting it together for me!!!

Wishing Lynn happy birthday!

I wish I'd put this post on earlier, for Lynn's birthday wish. Yesterday was the day!! I did talk to her, and we'll do something later to celebrate!

Meanwhile...this is from my journal!

Went to the retirement center. Stopped at Ed’s office. After lunch we went down caught and saddled our horses and went to Michael’s. We went out to get the cows that had the replacement heifers and brought them in to wean the calves. I groaned when he called, as it was the first lousie day and a long while. However, it turned off really nice, and I enjoyed every minute. Well, almost. A few got out of the corral. I took Toots down into the bog to get them. I was leading her through the bog, and got my foot tangled in long grass and I fell really hard. I thought I threw my left shoulder out. I was able to get up and back on though, so I guess it’s just badly wrenched. It was awfully painful for about a half an hour, and then settled to a throb that was doeable. We turned the horses back into Jerry’s.

We came home for something to eat, and went to the play, The Sound of Music. It was nothing short of wonderful. Megan Grassell, Carmen Hittle, Valerie Lee, Leslie Rosier, Sue Briggs, Gene Andrews, Rollie Myers and Sue Holtz were the main characters that I knew. We sat with Paul and Bette Hagenstein whose daughters played great parts. David made most of the set.

Indian Summer

Indian summers lend themselves to getting stuff done that doesn't always happen. But notice there is some snow in the mountains...They are gorgeous. Bob's out burning weeds along our fence. Dale will be pleased when he sees this!

My fall bouquet is still holding up. I sprayed the cat tails with polyurethane to keep them from feathering out, and so far it's worked.
