Reflections of years gone by

These are two of the out buildings at the McGibbon homestead. As you may recall, the entire homestead has been donated to us. We are hoping to erect a "Sidley Mountain/Bridesville Historical site on our Sidley Mountain Ranch. It will be nice to give something back to this incredible community. If we don't capture a bit of history the stories told by the old timers will soon fade into forgotten memories. It would be very sad to lose the unique history surrounding this area. I pray we can help prevent adding our communities into the books of Vanishing BC.

NEW Arrival!

Our mare "JAZZ" threw a beautiful little stud colt two weeks ago. We called him "Freeway". He is pretty neat. Now I just need to wait for my Foal Whispering granddaughter to come and do her thing with this little guy.

Bin' a While

Here is Chief. This fine young gelding is at our place for some spring training. He's a bit skittish but he'll come around. He has a good heart and a kind face. His good bloodlines make him a great prostpect for cattle drives. We are suppossed to be selling him but I got a feel'n he'll be with us a long time.

Dreaming Of A Different Season

The Gift Of Frienship

Last Sunday being the last service at the Osoyoos Christian Centre for my family and I, was a difficult one. However, the good Lord had us surrounded by friends and family. What made it even more incredible was that an old cowboy friend of mine showed up. Now this here gent is not normally accustomed to being in Church, but came to support Judi and I. Greg will never know what an awesome thing it was for him to do that for me.

I know his father in law is in need of our prayers regarding open heart surgery, so we will keep Pat in mind. Thank God for friends, especily those who you can ride the river with!
