Flying this morning..

I took this of Little Sweeney Lake.  The patterns in the ice are really different.

Halloween spooks, cowboying and the Rider Appreciation banquet.

We left as it got good and light.

We had the herd gathered when the sun came up.  They traveled well.

Vivie was a Hersey's kiss.  She was so cute.

John Mitchell , Kirstie, Palmer and Jennifer and Vivie!

Some of the pictures at the banquet.  This is Bobby and Todd.

Garlie and Rhonda

Bob, Sprout and Eddie.  It was a great evening.

This Morning's flight!

We flew up around Bondurant...neat flight.  On the way back I had Bob go over my grandfathear's place ie Will's place.  The top photo is the Will Pape place.  You can see where a house burned down...I think in the seventies which was built by Bill and Rose Pape.  The red roof is the garage Bill built.  The home stead cabins are to the right.  The old barn still stands.

This is what I call the Uncle Bob Albert Place.  It's a mile down the Green River from Will's.  Later Will bought it for Uncle Paul.  When the places were lost to the bank years after Will's death, this was the last one to go.  My dad signed a note for it, and went to Illinois to work for Yo's mother to pay it off.  When Mother and Daddy were married they lived there.  Daddy and Les Pons built the little cabin for Mother and Daddy.  In 1940 they sold this place and bought the Willow Creek ranch.  I've realized that made my grandmother homeless.  :(  This is where Donnie and I lived when we were first married.  Donnie worked for Bill Pape who lived on Will's place.
