Seventy Years Ago

...70 years ago last night, midnightish and twenty below zero, my folks rode out of our ranch on the front bobs of a sled to Cora...Uncle Rod broke trail on old Goldie. At Cora Mother went in to warm up. The men build a fire under the old red dodge truck, and pulled it with the team to start it. Mother and Daddy made it to Jackson by seven in the morning and at seven thirty I was born, two months early. Dr McLeod and the janitor at the hospital built an incubator for me out of an orange crate and a light bulb. I was three pounds.

This picture of me is probably about two months later when they brought me home.

Bridge today...

Scotty came to shovel our walk for the bridge ladies. Oh how I appreciate that!
Then Betty brought her new car out to show us. It has so many bells and whistles...but she'll figure them all out!! I love it they can do this.

Gorgeous day today!

Duene...I did this one because I liked your winter artsie one!
It was too gorgeous not to catch my horse and ride a little. Stopped at Burrough's and Les took a couple of pix of me...that somehow didn't record on the camera. Darn! Anyhow, the snow is tough and miserable to ride in...like the end of March...but it was good to get out on Toots. I was only out about an hour and a half.

Fremont Lake

It's a rare year the lake freezes over like this...but it's sure fun to see.
This is looking down on a crack in the ice.

Sublette County Artist's Guild

Carolyn Bing, Helena Lynn, Madeleine Murdock, with Charmain McLellan reading a clipping and DeeAnn Price doing the minutes. Not everyone was in these pictures.
Judy Andricopolis, Margaret Smith, (guest), Carrie Budd and Sandy Bousman. We had a wonderful meal and meeting...some really neat submissions...fun conversations..

The falls in Idaho Falls & Kirsten at her dance recital...

Bob had cataract surgery last week in Idaho Falls. The 2nd one is scheduled for tomorrow. Loved the look of the falls in the winter by the motel where we stay.
Kirsten was in the dance recital Friday night. This was greeting Grandpa Bob afterwards...

Fremont Lake


Gorgeous shot on pinedaleonline by Dave Bell this morning of the lake frozen clear. There's supposed to be a hockey game there this afternoon.
