IS IT A DREAM

Is it a dream...? Is it a job...? "It's a dream job.

We call it the "Family Tree"...You know Tigger had one, from Winnie the Pooh. We ride by it a lot. Quite appropriate as we rode out to bring in cows as a family. Took a beating two years ago during the Blizzard "Atlas"...but it still here and so are we... Testimony to the staying of The Almighty and determination of the family. To God Be The Glory.

Rachel and Joey...What a team...

It was really quite a morning.... as we gathered...one moment in full sunshine and the next...a bank of fog would roll over like a wave. It was like we were performing on a movie set.

The making of good horses and good hands...Character building situations. Danny really likes the paint horse, Chuck and Julia loves her paint horse, Louie. And they really like those Hereford Cows. More than once the comment was made, "Grandpa would sure be having fun if he were here".

Robin does a great job of catching moments with her camera. When Molly was a little girl, she prayed for a little brother to wrestle with. Then Danny was born. Yes there has been numerous wrestling matches, ... not as many as there used to be...But now her little brother is her big brother and also one of her best friends. It has been a great journey watching these two grow. And now Molly is heading to the West Coast for College...She will be back...She has a calling to pick up on next Spring... And yes Danny and Molly will miss each other.

Yes, as I said, "Sure beats sitting in the office doing paper work. My horse Trigger offers "Triggernamics"

Time to loosen the cinches and thank the horses as we prepare to work the chute. Not everyone needs to be on horseback for the upcoming chores.
