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.

Spring Break

We had a good spring break. We went to Portland and watched the Trail Blazers Play Ball With Rhonda & Darin. Spent the next day playing games in the yard with the 3 grand kids.Sam and the kids were here the rest of the week. We had a great time fishing. feeding the new calves. Going for walks and playing games.Lots of Fun.

Arizona Getaway

We recently decided to head for warmer climes. Spent a couple of nights at the Fremont Experience in Lost Wages. Had a big ol' time. Lost some serious weight(out of my wallet). We spent some time with an old army buddy of mine in Needles, CA. He owns Mystic Maze Honey company, has some truckloads of bee hives over in the Bakersfield area. Very interesting to watch the processing of his honey.(from the bees, not his wife!!) The desert was actually greening up a little, first time in about 15 yrs. We went on to the Grand Canyon, still winter there, the scenery was nothing short of spectacular. Spent the whole day being tourists. When I was driving truck we called them terrorists!!! From there we went to Glen Canyon Dam, Zion National Park and varius tourist traps. Spent three more nights in Casino/Hotels. Had great fun, still didn't make any money! It was a great trip but was sure glad to be home.
