SPRING AT THE RANCH
Fortunately, the cool weather last week did not freeze the newly planted beets! And, there has been some rain to help support the new plants all over the place. Half of the calves are branded and put to pasture. Spring is going well, except for slow work by the supplier in getting the new pivot working.
Shawn and Tracy are about to be off in their new motorhome with the kids on a spring vacation. Brett graduated from the 8th grade last week, and played drums at several events. Amber is taking piano lessons and had a recital this (Sunday) afternoon.
Although no new oil wells are scheduled in the immediate vicinity of the ranch, there is a new one about to be started in the Valley near the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers, not far from the Berry farm.
Dad says he is doing pretty well, most of the time, and enjoyed watching the branding of the calves. He said there were quite a few people at the church this morning, including Bill Dobias.
IN SCOTTSDALE
We are enjoying our continuing exploration of the area. There are lots of possibilities for recreation and celebration! The weather has been great, with only one day near 100 degrees.
Dara and Madelyn are coming for a visit over Memorial Day, which we very much look forward to.
On June 2, I have a pre-surgery exam at Mayo Clinic, and go in for surgery on my throat June 7, with one night in the hospital anticipated. No fun, but they are likely to do a very careful job, treating us well all the while. After two weeks or so of liquid diet, I should be back to almost normal.
Cheers,
Bill and Marie
