RAIN AT THE RANCH!
Four and one-half inches of rain in July! Amazing! Unfortunately, there was lots of wind and some damage in Sidney, Fairview, and Dickinson, including tornadoes. There was very little damage to the crops. And, of course, it was a god-send for the crops in most respects, particularly the pastures, which got green and beautiful. One consequence, however, is a flood of mosquitoes that force everybody to cover-up!
The Fairview Summer Festival was last Saturday, with the usual large crowds, a kiddies parade that included Shawns kids, and lots of other action. Dad didn't go because of increasing difficulty with walking and the heat.
Mavis, Marilyn, Issy, and Dad went to Bismarck for Lila's birthday. They went out to a Mexican Restaurant for dinner, and had a very nice time, Mavis says!
Dennis was to have surgery on his back yesterday in Rapid City. We have had no reports yet on how it went. We certainly wish him well in recovery!
All three of Marilyn daughters, Susan, Carol, and Julie, as well as Mavis, plan to be in Bismarck tomorrow (July 23) for Marilyn's heart surgery. We will certainly be thinking about her, and hoping for the best.
We are enjoying late July in Tucson, despite record temperatures of 109 the last few days. Yesterday, we did our regular trek to AJs Fine Foods for breakfast, and got some walking in the shade of La Encantada Mall. Very pleasant because there had been a nice shower that cooled things down.
Cheers,
Bill and Marie
