A Perfect Day For A Wedding

Eric and Buryl get'n hitched.

Glad it was a John Deere, and not a Dear John.

Another Wedding

What a special time we had last Wednesday as we officiatted yet another wedding at the Ranch. Congratulations to Eric & Buryl Goodmen.

Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind yourselves often of what brought you together. Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your connection deserves. When frustration, difficulties and fear assail your relationship, as they threaten all relationships at one time or another, remember to focus on what is right between you, not only the part which seems wrong. In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives -- remembering that even if you lose sight of it for a moment, the sun is still there. And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight.

KIDS WEST

We are very excited as to the upcoming KIDS WEST Day Camps.

We will be hosting four day camps for ages 6-10 in August.

This is a fantastic opportunity to bless the Bridesville, Rock Creek and Sidley children. We are believing this to be but the first of many such events.

Cowboy Wedding

Judi and I had the honor of tieing the knot for Collin and PJ Hollywood. It was a great afternoon in God's wide open spaces, surrounded by a bunch of down home folk. We really appreciatted being asked to officiate.... blessings on you two!

You will feel no rain,

For each of you will be shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold,

For each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no more loneliness,

For each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two bodies, But there is one life before you.

Go now to your dwelling place,

To enter into the days of your togetherness.

And may your days be good and long upon the earth….

A Different Point Of View

Every once and awhile you come across one of those "Life Lessons". We have a friend who is presently training one of our Quarter horses in the US. As she was going through her lesson her instructor said, "Stop looking down at the ground and the top of your horse, look up, look to God and just trust." Wow! How typical! We all look far too closely at our immediate surroundings and our present concerns. What great advice - look up - look to God - Trust! Be blessed!

"Mom and Six Hour Old Daughter"

"Hey you look familiar, I think I nose you!"

"It's A Girl!"

Here is our newest addition to the ranch. Cola (the mare) had her first foal - a healthy full of life filly. She was born in the early hours of July 6. She has not yet been named, that'll come soon enough. She is a sweety! Congrats to Casey this is his first foal. The sire is a registered paint stallion we aquired last year.
