Last Month at Hart Ranch 2024

 It's been a busy last few weeks!  I've been trying to fit everything in, get packed, finish working, and get ready to go!

I moved out of the little camper on Friday and into a Colt2 cabin.  I packed 4 bins of stuff to leave in Susan's garage over the winter to use in my new 5th wheel next summer. (I'm very excited about it!!!)

I'm heading out Wednesday to Minneapolis for our cousin's reunion, and then will wander around (UP of Michigan, Springfield MA to see Celeste, Annapolis, and Marion VA to see Carolyn Case before I get back to Georgia!)

 

Here's what's been going on:

Kevin and Marita took me to supper at the Alpine Inn.  GREAT DESSERTS!!

It was spoon sucking good!!

Sally and Lyle got moved into their new house.  This is the hat tree in the living room with Lyle's hat, rope and spurs.  It's very cool!  Dottie and Roger and I are going over on Tuesday the 17th for supper before I head out on the 18th.

Char came and surprised me.  She had flown in to spend a couple of days with Dave Stewart, and to see Mount Rushmore.  What a nice surprise!!!

Anne and I went to the Ranch Rodeo

Susan and I tried the new Mexican restaurant on 5th Street.  Yummy margaritas!!!

Sally and I had a girls day through the Hills, drove Needles Highway and then had lunch in Custer.  Nice day.  We also took 385 (through the construction and all) for a drive through Spearfish Canyon. We had lunch at Cheyenne Crossing for that trip!

Anita and James took me to brunch at their favorite place in Custer (I didn't get any pictures though 😏), but it sure was enjoyable!!

August 2024

It's been a busy month so far, and it's only the 15th!   I can't believe that summer is almost over and in a little more than a month I'm heading east.  This summer has gone by quickly, and I'm so glad to have been so busy.

Carol Asheim and I had a girls day.  We met Sally for lunch at the Gaslight, and then Carol and I went up into the hills to the Pathways Spiritual Sanctuary just outside of Rochford.  I had never heard of it, but Carol had been there before. 

This is from their website:

Pathways Spiritual Sanctuary is a quiet, safe, sacred place

where visitors can spend time walking, sitting, contemplating, reading, writing, reflecting or healing in the natural landscape of the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota.

The theme of Pathways is “Beyond Belief” as it is a place that is beyond the diversity of beliefs, race, religion, culture, personal histories and life experiences. It is open to all who choose to visit. Within the Sanctuary, all can walk as one and honor the sacredness of all forms of life and Mother Earth.

 

I highly recommend everyone go there.  It was so peaceful, and very spiritual.  It was a beautiful day, and you'd never know that Sturgis was going on - lots of bikes were in Rochford.

 

Then we went to the Moonshine Gulch Saloon in Rochford to have a beer.  Mike and I had been there before, so I had to get a picture!

Last Monday, Kevin and Marita asked me to join them at the Alpine Inn for supper.  Who could say no?!

Dessert was heavenly!

Tuesday I drove to North Platte to have supper with the Whites, Wilkinsons and Deb Ralston.  I can't believe we forgot to take a picture!!!  It was good to see everyone.  It's only been a little over a month since Lee passed, so I know Deb is still very raw and emotional.
