We left Crackie for awhile for Dustin to train on and brought Hub home.. he put about 45 days on him and he’s pretty nice… he could do about anything offs him heContinue reading “One thing and another”

KInd of cold and snowy this morning, but no wind.. by this afternoon it was just mud and green grass.

I fed out behind the houseContinue reading “Beautiful day”

Gramma and I hustled down to Rapid today. We watched Gus at shooting sports then off to watch Gabe and Lige wrestle at regionals. It’s hard work watching them, we strain so hard to help them while watching and I even shouted some encouragement to the wrestlers… Gus and Gabe and Lige all qualified forContinue reading “Busy”
