June 2012

6/11:  Last week we had a great ride. We left Hart Ranch about 8:00 am and rode the back roads to Devil's Tower.   We had lunch there, and then rode to Deadwood, where we had reservations at the Deadwood Mountain Grand.   We spent the night there - dropped a few quarters in the slots - and then the next morning rode back to Hart Ranch.   We missed the bad weather - we had a wicked thunder storm Thursday night after we got back, so we were lucky.   It was about a 250 mile ride, through beautiful scenery.   When we stopped to take the picture of Devil's Tower, Ed flew over us, just to remind us that he rides with us!

We had a picture of Nate at this very spot!

May 2012

5/31/12:  Last weekend we flew to Georgia and had a quick two days with all of the kids. We were there for Nate's High School graduation - it was really fun and so wonderful to see everyone - but we were exhausted!   We got to go to Chase's baseball game (he made the All Star team), and then we went to Nate's graduation party on Sunday, and his graduation on Monday.

On Tuesday, May 30th, Nate left for Fort Benning, Georgia to start Boot Camp for the Army National Guard.  He'll be there all summer.  He has received a full scholarship from the Guard for college, which he will start in January at North Georgia in Dahlonega. We are very proud of him. Please keep him in your prayers.

 Here are some pictures:

Us with the Graduate!



5/5/12:  We've moved into our Workamper site - it's the same site as last year, #124.  Mike had me back the rig in.  It took a few tries, but I did it!  Luckily there weren't any other rigs or cars around, so it wasn't stressful.  We're all settled in.

We had a heck of a hail storm last night.  About quarter sized and boy was it loud!  Mike checked everything this morning, and the only damage is a split sewer hose.  Mike will have to go to Wal Mart for a new one before we can dump tanks.

Other than that, we're working, working, working.  The weather hasn't been conducive to golf or riding.  We hope that will change soon.  In two weeks we head to Georgia for Nate's high school graduation!
