My Holiday Weekend

Hi, hope everyone had a great Independence Day Holiday weekend. I spent mine as I do many summer weekends on a 90 acre horse farm south of Watkins Glenn. I spend much of my time there mowing fields and lawns, here is a photo of me just starting out to mow one of several fields. I would rather be on the old tractor mowing or taking care of several flower gardens and a vegetable garden than just about anything. In my case life at 65 couldn't get much better. After a hot day there is a pool to relax in and for those cool nights a hot tub that helps relieve any aches & pains. Hope everybody is doing what they want these days.

47 years ago...Where were you?

And where were you 47 years ago today? Time sure seems to fly and with our 5oth just a couple of years away, I thought you may appreciate this look backwards in time. Not too many of our lovely teachers who helped shaped our lives are with us but a few are still in the area. I thought you may enjoy this little bit of history. Click on picture for larger view. KR

Retirement present

I was supposed to retire Friday but like probably some of you, I cannot because of the market. However, I did purchase my retirement and she is 5 months old. She is a 15/16 MacKenzie Valley Timber Wolf and is wonderful but a lot more work that a dog. That puts me at 24 critters - 11 goats, 5 horses, 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 pot bellied pig, 2 macaws, and 1 wolf. That obviously means I am single and have been for quite a while. I never did well with people so I have created my own world which is filled with all sorts of adventures and experiences as one could imagine. I really am anxious to retire and spend all my days playing with my critters.

Remember those friends who are not with us....

Pictures from John and Joyce ...

Here are some photos from John and Joyce as they traveled from Arizona to Utah. Who could forget Davy Crockett's hotel, the Alamo. Then a giant saguaro cactus which as I remember only grows in the southwest after which is another Arizona favorite, Sedona. Then they traveled to Zion and Yellowstone for some spectacular pictures of wildlife there. Be sure to click on each picture to enlarge it for a great view of the country. And a fitting last picture brings us to "The End"! I'm still playing with the blog so the pictures may be reversed, sorry.
