Wild Horse Roundup

Saturday we went to Denver for a belated Father’s Day get together and family reunion. All their kids and grandkids and Debbie’s folks were there. She fixed a good ham evening dinner. Before that, Nathan’s brother-in-law, who is a part time photographer and also works at a Spanish TV station, took lots of pictures of different groups and it took a lot of time as the little ones are hard to keep in place. We stayed all night and got home about noon Sunday.

One of the reasons for the get together was to tell our granddaughter, Natalie, and husband, Given, goodbye as they are moving to Dayton, Ohio, where he will be a music leader in a large church. I believe they said 365 members. We hate to see them go, but it is a good opportunity and a good job seems hard to find in Denver.

Kristie Borns, who lives in Eads but works in Hugo with Marty, goes through here pretty early in the morning and a few days ago she saw two turkey hens with 24 babies crossing the highway. We have never seen them, so they must be long gone.

Thursday, Bob Dutro came by on his way to see his cattle he has on Marty’s place. He had a very nice couple with him from China Grove, North Carolina. Their names were Gray and Thelma Corriher and they wanted to see where Thelma’s great uncle, Frank Bostian, homesteaded and lived from 1910 to 1920. It is near Dutro’s place east of Karval. They were going to look, but had to wait for a creek to do down, if you can believe that. There had been a two inch rain somewhere in the vicinity.

 

Vernon (Tuffy) Johnson called me a few days ago to see how I’m getting along. I really appreciate his calls. Maybe he’s checking to see if I could go in for a couple innings at third base.

I was watching some of the College World Series of baseball being played in Omaha, Nebraska. It reminded me of when Lee Ann played there in the World Series of softball in 1975. Her team won second place and she has a large trophy from there.

They showed as in a storm area a few days ago, but as that line goes in that song I know, "Then Gabriel blows and the trumpet sounds and they say the rain has passed around."
