HAPPENINGS AT THE RANCH
Dad has some new entertainment at his house: a colorful Easter chick, and a new puppy! Mavis says he is really enjoying both, thanks to Luke. He went with Mavis and Ron to Trista and Tara's parents for Easter, and was among nine grandparents of Abbie, all gathered in one place! They played cards which dad seemed to also really enjoy.
The farming has been delayed by the cool and snowy weather for many days now. But, it sounds like full speed ahead this next week. Around 250 calves have arrived so far.
Mavis and Ron were going to a wedding and wedding dance this afternoon and evening for two of their long-time neighbors: Butch Keykendahl (sp) and the widow of another neighbor. He is 62 and has never been married! How about that??
Will and Trista had a grand time on their South American adventure, and are full of stories about their many excursions to remote places. Unfortunately, Will has not been feeling all that well, and may have acquired some ailment along the way.
Dennis and Julie have made an offer on a house in Williston, and are getting ready for the big move soon. Their other house is on the market but has not yet sold. Ashley is very occupied with all of the end-of-the-year stuff at school, and Julie is extremely busy trying to keep up with it all.
Cindy and Don had their house sold, they thought, but the purchaser changed his mind, so they have to start over. That has to be a big disappointment!
Bill and Marie had a very short 10-day trip in the motorhome, interrupted after the two lovely days (Picacho Peak State Park, Nordstrom in Scottsdale, and Usery Mt. Regional Park near Mesa!) by a nasty bug that is now being attacked with antibiotics and codeine. We are back at home until further notice. Fortunately, the recovery from throat surgery went smoothly with no noticeable remaining ill effects.
We had enough rain two days ago to brighten up the beautifully flowering trees, cacti, bushes, and other plants around our yard. Spring is gorgeous in Tucson!
Cheers,
Bill and Marie
