Spring Creek

We just got home Sunday evening from the Spring Creek camp out . What a wonderful time we all had.There was the usual wonderful food. all the dutch oven cooking. All the B-S ing.Playing Music,Shooting, Playing Solo. But this year some friends of Roy and Leanna's came up on Sunday with a horse and a cart and gave all the kids a ride in the cart. Then she saddled the horse and gave the kids a short riding lesson. Then she gave them a very informative horse training session. It was a wonderful way to end a fabulous camp out. We had about 41 people there. Great turnout. Here are some photos of the fun we had.

look-a-like

I Took this piture of my goofy grandson, wearing my glasses and grandpas hat. It reminds me so much of Andy. Thought I would post them and see what you guys thought?

After everyone went home on Monday, The house was so quite that Lyle and I couldn't stand it so we went for a ride up Murders Creek . We saw some Deer and wild turkeys.

Picked some mushrooms and saw 5 head of wild horses. They are so pretty I never get tired of seeing them. The one stud in the back was a huge horse. Anyway thought I would share................If you have never seen these horses they are well worth the trip.. My brother and his wife went for a ride up there the other day and saw 27 head.

Well we had a Great time BBQ ing. Rhonda did that post for me and she said pictures too follow. But we forgot to take any. So here are some in the house.

Memorial Day Hilarity...Invitation

We are going to celebrate Memorial Day by having a BBQ, Friday evening May 23rd at 6:00. We will most likely play bocce ball (lawn bowling), pitch horseshoes, play cards, and do shop games. Come and join us, you can even hot tub if you like!! It would be great fun if you all could come and be hilarious with us. Call Aunt Linda and let her know if you're coming and who you're bringing, so she knows how much food to prepare. Looking forward to seeing you....pictures to follow.

Company

We had company last week for a few days. It was our friends Gene and Barb from Brogan, And Gene's sister. We had a wonderful time. Lots of visiting game playing & good food.We stayed up all night playing mexican train dominoes, At 3:30 the next am we went to bed.Lots of late nights, oh well it was fun. Anyway we went for a ride up Feilds Creek , first we saw 3 white tail deer. Which I have never seen in that part of the country before. Then we saw a black bear maybe 40 feet from the road. He just stayed right there eating , he would look up at us and then just go back to his eating. We watched him for about 20 mins. It was pretty neat......

Cactus

Ok crazy story, As you know we went to Arizona in February. Well while we were down there, I talked Lyle into cutting me some small pieces of Cactus we got Beaver tail, prickly pear and cholla teddy bear. He was much apposed to this from the start. His reasons being they have thorns and its not legal. Well I soon convinced him that, I would bail him out of jail (in a day or two). And here we are only a month and 1/2 later and he has all the spines picked out of his fingers. So I really think now he is glad he did that for me.LOL Anyway we brought the cuttings home to show the Grandkids. So I but them in a bowl of water in the kitchen window sill.Hoping they would stay fresh until I could show the kids.Well they didn't only stay fresh , they are getting new growth everyday. So when I went to pour myself a cup of coffee on monday, the Beaver tail had this magnificent bloom on it. I Couldn't believe my eyes. Maybe I do have a green thumb after all.
