A WINTER ADVENTURE WITH MAVIS AND RON
Mavis and Ron were planning a vacation trip to Honduras, which got canceled because of a medical concern, so instead, with Tracy's travel-planning help, they went to Hawaii for 10 days. Mavis said they had a grand time, walking on the beach, driving to the top of a volcano, taking boat trips, and just relaxing. Good for them! They needed a break before calving time.
Luke is in Jamaica vacationing, after holding down the ranch while others were gone. Shawn, Tracy, and all the family are on an island near the Bahamas. They have purchased a motorhome for family travel this summer. Will is in Honduras finishing a training program in diving. A lady from Montana runs the dive shop where he is training. He took a long trip around Central America, visiting several of the countries where I traveled many long years ago.
Dad says he is doing well, and is enjoying having new carpet in his kitchen, dining room, and laundry room. He will soon have new toilets in both upstairs bathrooms. Rhonda Lassey and Vicki Dunbar looked in on him every day while Mavis, Ron and Luke were gone.
Good news on the mineral front! The oil wells are growing and flowing in the Williston Basin area. One company is planning to drill 1500 wells in the immediate vicinity. Recent wells have produced between 2500 and 3400 barrels per day! One of the consequences is full motels, hotels, and apartments everywhere in the area, which should be really good for the local economy.
Tucson has been enjoying lots of rain. Consequently, the desert is very green and lush--quite a contrast to the way it was last summer and fall. We had a great picnic at Saguaro National Park on President's Day, and thoroughly enjoyed a long walk among the saguaros. Some of the largest in Arizona--50 feet tall and more--are located along the trail.
Cheers,
Bill and Marie
