Wild Horse Roundup

Tuesday, Darwin and Velda Bollinger of Scott City, Kansas, stopped in for a short visit. They had been to see his sister, Sue, who lives near Grandby. Word came that his sister, Caroline Pumphry’s daughter, Kay, had passed away in Illinois. They were leaving the next morning for the service. Bob, Caroline and Kay were here this summer for a visit. Whitey Bollinger called to tell us. They are like family to us and our thoughts and prayers are with these nice people.

I done something a few days ago I have been wanting to do for a long time. I started my 730 John Deere and it hadn’t been started since I can’t remember when. At first the pony motor wouldn’t keep running, so I filled the gas tank and for some reason it ran and then I pulled the level to start the diesel and it run like always. If I could charge for people that stop to look I would have some spare change. The last fellow that looked at was from Galesburg, Illinois, just eighteen miles from where I was born.

There is a lot of lightning just southeast of here this Saturday evening. You don’t suppose something could happen! Sunday morning it happened 0.18 inches.

 

Marty took Kirsti to Denver Friday to the dentist to change the braces on her teeth. It took about two hours. That must have been pleasant. They done some shopping for Kirsti some nice clothes. They spent the night at Steve’s and Saturday they went to Nathan and Berence’s to see the new baby. Marty said it had a lot of black hair. They picked up some fast food along the way so they could have lunch together. They brought home a big bouquet of flowers from the grandkids for grandparent’s day. How nice. Kirsti just brought out two drawings she had made for the day. She is now making egg pancakes. I seen the recipe, but I don’t read Norwegian. Kirsti got to talk to her family today so she is happy.

I heard that Ina Collett is getting along pretty good which is sure nice to hear.

Sunday evening it is sure nice and wet around here. It don’t measure a lot but it still sprinkling.
