From Life Here

The above picture is of the staff, with Mt. Shasta in the background. Kim is on the far left, then Sam, Laurie (above) and Kelsey, Me Georgia, Jenna (on the cover of second book) Julie, and Amanda



The picture above was taken when the staff was at Kim's sister's house. This is what guy time looks like for me and Sam. Straight up, all the girls just tucker us out.



Eating the hay above is Luke. He is a pretty big Belgium Quarter horse mix. I have ridden him the most while being here and feel a little attatched to him. He is a giant sweetheart for the most part.



These are all the babies that are in the back pasture of the ranch. Most of them are young and will soon carry the ranch's work with children. In the shot above, they have all been turned loose in the arena at the end of the day to run and play with each other. sorry i havent gotten you more pictures from the ranch, i am working on it, but it is hard without a camera. Robbie and Lydia, i know you gave me one but i dont have the cord that makes the magic happen. Ill get more pictures of the ranch happenings before i leave. this will have to do for now.

Fourth of July: A Parade Perhaps

So above, we have pictures from the 4th of July parade that we did...on the 4th of July. So here is the thing, i just now got these pictures and that is why it took so long to get them onto this site...my apologies. The parade is pretty much a time when we take some of the horses from the ranch and dress them up...all patriotic like and then parade them and a bunch of ranch kids around the town of Redmond. It was sweet.

The pictures below are pictures from the night of the 4th when the ranch staff and the volunteers all sat in the back of Troy's big dodge 3500 duely. The city of Bend plays music on the local radio station that is choreographed with the fireworks. So we watched the explosions in the sky to the voice of musical giants like Garth Brooks...It was redneck awesome!
