Happy Mother's Day

My wonderful mother.....

Rita...

Hank, Deb, Reet, and your's truly....

 I see Hank blogged a photo of us all in the house...so I'll do the one I sent to Rita's fb. We got up at three this morning to have her coffee-ed, fed, and ready when Julie got here. Julie was a tad late, but I'm betting they got to the Jackson airport in plenty of time. Hope Rita has a good flight...and will enjoy the rest of Dancing with the Stars tonight in her own home. Luv you Reet!

We fed for Michael today...

Michael  had a branding to go to....so we're feeding again.

This camera doesn't capture the mountains in a distance well, but they were gorgeous from the meadow.

Metal Clay Class

 We were scattered around the art room in the Big Piney school.  This is Sharon Schell, her daughter in law who I can't remember her name for the life of me, and Sharon's daughter, Ami Davison.

 Sharon Johnson and I had this table...a couple of Big Piney ladies in the back.

 Sandy Bousman is here...Laurel was off buffing a piece or something..

My stuff............
This class was a lot of fun.  Don't know if I'll pursue it or not...but I brought home some pieces that I hope in work in with the fabricating that I do with silver.  Note to self...probably won't do a lot of silver.  Most of the silver I've bought to fabricate was under $4.00 an ounce.  Now it's almost $50.00 an ounce...and my supplies are running short.

Happy birthday Brent and Troy...

Two son-law's have the same birthday. And Prince William chose their birthday for his wedding..how cool is that? Or not???
I'm hoping I can stick a picture of Troy on here....I did this from picasa...which is the easiest way for me to blog. Ah haw...adding the photo worked....
Anyhow...guys, happy birthday. Brent and Betty will be do survival training...hope Troy does something fun.

Benny and Pat

This is from Jep's b.d. party Saturday. I got quite a few good people photos that day. Notice Pattie's fingers!! Horns for Benny!
Snowbird friends returning today. I haven't walked down the road to see if Hank and Deb are here. I expect when they hove in, they'll set up and then go see Helen. They'll hate the weather..Deb will have trouble breathing...but it will get better. Just when is the question.
Bob and I had lunch with Rita at the Brew Pub yesterday. It was soooo good. Got cut kinda short when Bob's X walked in and sat down near us. Then hang up phone calls in the afternoon. Don't know for sure who that was..........
When I walked this morning, the blue birds were building nests in the houses out along the road, that I think Les Burrough put up. Thirty antelope came up from the river...deer on the hill. Two days ago we had a moose out here. The cranes and geese still have the Cat "yarded up".
Got a neat pair of shoes Nanc ordered for our trip. I'm being spoiled. Jane sent 2 goodie packages...I should do a picture of them....
Vacant house down the road....neighbors lost it...and I'm sad about that. I liked having them here.
Finished another book on the ipad. It wasn't as good as "Water for Elephants", but I enjoyed it anyhow.
Bob's working on Hagenstein's ditch when he's not working for Stepps. He's busy.
Brent stopped by with dog food for Kiz while they're gone to Mexico. We enjoy Kiz! I'll also be doing S&S chores.

My bucket list...

I've been trying to steal some pictures off the ARR site to post on my blog, but they're pretty well tied up to where I can't. So here is a photo gallery!

Jep's 80th b.d. party

Got some flack that I hadn't been updating my blog...well it's true. So here's today....

Trimming an old mare....

Ruth and Bette..

Barbara Williams and Gina (Wasatch Academy friends)

Margaret, Patty, Dale and Benny...

Jep and Emmalee....class mates of Pinedale 1949

Patty and Betty...cousins...

Jep and Reet..............

April birthdays...well, some of them...

I did take a picture of Betty and Brent when we were at the Stockman's celebrating her birthday. It isn't good enough to post. Then last night I forgot my camera...how could that be???...for Jennifer and Michael's birthdays...

Both nights were a pleasure. Wednesday night we almost had the place to ourselves. Last night there was some Catholic church thing...and we were in the back, thankfully, but it was roaring through the wall. We were glad to be where we were.

Late in the afternoon, Hank and Debbie stopped by. I'm still feeling bad that we were in a time crunch. I had to feed S&S livestock before we met Michael et al. I'm wishing I could have had Deb and Hank stay for dinner. Another time.

The weather sure turned for Rulands. After they leave maybe we'll get spring.

Happy Birthday Betty!!!

I'm having trouble getting the picture up I want....here's the 2nd best.

Happy Birthday!
