"This Weeks Pictures"

Our friend, Bill Ferroli, was here last week and here are some pictures he took of deer, antelope, and a red hawk he saw outside the Goodnight House.

"Santa Is Coming"

It is really starting to feel a lot like Christmas here at the ranch. The deer and horses are running all over the place, the jack rabbits have their ears up high, and Santa is coming Christmas Eve. That's what he told me. It is a great time of the year and we have a lot to be thankful for. I will take the wagon out caroling Christmas Eve and I am looking forward to a bunch of riders. Tawni and Dennis will be horseback riding each morning. Janet will be cooking cookies and decorating them with the kids. Of course there will be some singin' around the campfire.

Hope to see you soon.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. The weather was beautiful here and everyone said they had a awesome time. It is a great time of the year for wagon rides, horseback riding, deer watching, and just sittin' around the camp fire swapping old stories.

To all the reunions, we look forward to seeing you again next year. The families seem to get bigger and bigger each year. It is really a treat seeing everyone building new experiences.

We are now thinking about Christmas and I am seeing lots of lights going up on the roads around the ranch. Santa will be stopping by, and there will be fireworks New Years Eve.

See you soon.

"What's Up At The Ranch"

"Thanksgiving Week"

The week of Thanksgiving there will be a lot going on. I hope you can make it. You can enjoy horseback riding every morning, hikes in the afternoon, and evening entertainment.

Here is a list of the evening entertainment:

Wednesday, I will be singing around the campfire at 7:30.

Thursday, Joni will be doing line dancing at Ghost Town at 7:30.

Friday, World Champion Trick Roper Kevin Fitzpatrick will preform at 8:15.

Saturday, bring your camera and get your picture with the Long Horn Steer.

Of course there will be a campfire and smore's every night, and most likely some singin' too.

Want to go on a deer watchin' wagon ride? We'll do it.

It is really a pretty time here at the ranch. The leaves on the trees are changing and they tell me at Lost Maples State Park there are lots of colors. This tree is the one between the main house and the Lone Star Lagoon. On the drive to the ranch we can see lots of changing trees.

When was the last time you were on a wagon ride? We'll that's too long.
