This and that...

Palmer with Bob and Gina at the Den celebrating his elk hunt!!!

Vivie's last soccer game of the season. She's receiving her badge here.

The team picture with the coach.

The Hunt

Pictures of Palmer's first elk...a really nice young cow. Pretty neat that he and his dad and grandpa were all there.  

Last night we went to the Den to celebrate his hunt. We had a lot of fun hearing all the stories. Palmer took some pictures..but I haven't got them yet. If I do, I'll post at least one here.

This and that

I gathered up Faith and drove up to the Kendall Valley Lodge yesterday for lunch. She was a hungry gal...eating her whole lunch. The trees had lost at least half of the color I was expecting, but it was still a lovely drive.

Thought I'd post a few soccer pix. Palmer is refing this year. He took time to come visit Grandpa.

This one sort of catches their coach in action if you click on the picture and blow it up. He spends much of his time keeping his team headed in the right direction. I love watching these really little kids...half the time they are rolling in the grass enjoying the whole time..oblivious to the game. It's a great spectator sport!!! The coach who I don't know, is sooo good with those small kids...it's just too precious.  

David brought along ART to enoy the nice evening of soccer.

Tis the season again!!!

Palmer, Bob, and Michael...

Can't have too much help...:)

Busy week

We met Prices in the dark and drove up to their sections on South Cottonwood. We wound up waiting a couple hours for the road to dry some..then rode a couple of miles to get there..then another mile or so to find the cattle and get the gather started. It was gorgeous up there.

I told Kent I was going to mark a future Christmas tree, but that didn't happen. Gorgeous trees there.

  

These were the ones Bob and I got on our side of the creek.  Kent and Michael got about an equal amount. We got them corraled, and headed out to the trailers. Bob and I hauled their horses back to the ranch, while they went up and loaded cattle and hauled them out. Kent treated us to lunch at the Junction. Met Fred Pape there, who stopped for a lunch after his pt.

I had just played pinochle at Barb's the night before. It was a fun night...and I won high. Pam Kirkpatrick stopped and picked me up on their way out. It's a neat group that plays monthly.

Wednesday we went to Idaho Falls in pouring rain. A little snow on the rim. My eye appointment went well. Shopping didn't. Couldn't find anything we wanted.

Thursday was bridge in Big Piney. Another neat day. Yesterday I helped Bob collect his hunting stuff. Michael and Palmer stopped by and picked it all up to organize. They head out Monday.

Brian and Hunter were here for most of the week. We got him in the plane for a nice ride, and on Toots for a while. I'm afraid these old fogies are boring for a little kid however. Did teach him Yatzee.

Flying today...

There's beginning to have some neat color around.

This is Game Hill near Mosquito Lake

These two are sorta in the same area

Driving the heifers home

We were horseback at daylight. The gather was a cuss...joke here..they were waiting at the gate.

They are heading for the underpass at the cutting grounds.

Palmer and Caleb..note Palmer's chaps he made. ie fringe is special. It has blue behind.

Heading off the Mesa hill five hours later to the north meadow. It was an easy drive.

New window...moving heifers with Michael and Palmer

Bob helping Mike install a much needed new window in the office.

Mike preparing the opening for the window.

This is a grave of Johnie Aaron Lozier 1901 1906

Palmer wearing his new chaps he made.

This photo doesn't show the shot at all. Michael and Palmer riding down with the cattle. Buffalo in the background.

Later we went to the Sommer's Homestead Museum for their annual homecooked dinner. Saw a lot of people.

Fly In at PNA

Bob and Wes Allen checking out an old plane in one of the hangers.

The Fly In at PNA Saturday morning. We had a great turnout, all enjoying the huge breakfast, planes, friends, and several fly-overs by the Vought F4U Corsair and the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk from the Warbirds museum in Driggs Idaho. We saw those planes when we were in Driggs earlier this month.

This photo in case you can't tell is of the reflection of Bob and me in the nose of this plane. It was one that flew over. 

We got to help Carrie and Bill Budd celebrate their 61st anniversary at the Den in Daniel. It was such a nice evening with them. Helena Linn and Bill's sister Sally are across from us. Mike and Kathy Pompey were on our side of the table. There were many Cub Feltner stories told..and I called him when we got home. It was good to talk to him.
