Wild Horse Roundup

We had a very pleasant surprise on
Friday when Phil (Pony Kid) Pollreis and wife Madonna stopped in. He is a
one man band and plays at nursing homes. He used to play for dances and
other events. I remember when he was a kid and showed calves at the fair.
They were good ones and he won a lot of blue ribbons. We sure had a nice
visit as we hadn’t seen them in a long time. They brought us a couple of
Rocky Ford cantaloupes, which are sure good. They were going up near
Denver.
I read Eric Escudero’s column that
he wrote about the Cheyenne County caring people that attended Jesse
Bogenhagen’s funeral. He wrote about the friends that turned out to
console Nancy and family. I’m sorry I couldn’t attend, but I had been up
practically all night and just couldn’t make it.
Monday Marty took Kirsti to a
dentist in Denver to check the braces she has on her teeth. They went on
Sunday and spent the night at Steve’s. They had to hurry back as Marty and
Lee had doctor’s appointment to get their hands checked. He said Lee’s was
fine and Marty got a shot near her wrist.
While sitting here this beautiful
Sunday morning Lee said look there goes a girl jogging by. I got up and
looked and she was moving right along. I looked for an escort car, but
didn’t see one, but there surely was.
