Hart Ranch 2023

It was weird coming through the gate on Saturday alone. It was weird not coming in an RV and checking into a cabin.

I'm thankful Bill and Jan are here. 

It's so wonderful to see so many good friends,  and to be able to see how much they loved Mike. I think it's hard for all of them.

Last night  we met Sally and Lyle for burgers and beer at Joe's,  a favorite place we all used to meet. 

Today we went hiking at Pactola...Sally (the lab) loved it. She fetched the ball for the longest time, and didn't want to quit when it was time to leave!!

We went to the rodeo, that was fun!

Bill and Jan left Thursday morning,  it was sad to see them go, I'm so thankful they were here for me. 

Marita,  Kevin, Jim Neilsen and I played in the golf scramble together.  We sprinkled a bit of Mike's ashes on each tee on the front 9, reminisced,  and cried a little.  Then Eddie and Tim joined us on 16 to toast Mike and sprinkle him on the green. It was a very emotional day, I think for all of us. 

Sally and I had a girls day with the top down in her new convertible.  On the road between Keystone and Hill City an eagle flew over us and screamed just as he was above us. I'm sure that was Mike.🤗

Tonight Teresa and Brad, and Anne and Tim and I went out for supper at Shipwrecks. 

Fun evening with Dotty and Roger.  They took me to the Fort Hays dinner show.  Dotty went to school with the owner. Great entertainment!!

Today Tim, Anne and I played on the pasture golf course.  I sprinkled the rest of Mike's ashes.  I put some by the tree they planted in his memory,  and some in the area where he used to hit balls from the back of the camper.

Last golf scramble with Marita, Kevin and Jim.😊
