I'm sending you some pics. The usual: Dad out with the cows.... Me driving the tractor to fertilize the fields (yes it's true, I now know how to drive a tractor! A valuable skill, I am sure.)... Dad plowing...Glen and Ruth happy campers during the branding. We branded 72 calves and vaccinated 98 cows. It was great weather for it, warm and breezy. We all got a little sunburned. These are the May activities. I am going today to Karen's nursery in town to buy some tomato plants, and some pepper plants. Maybe we'll get our garden planted by the 1st. We are way behind.

Wednesday we drove the 100 miles to Billings in order to go out for dinner on our anniversary. We stopped in at the Texas Roadhouse and had some fun eating steak and ribs. We also scouted the locations for the wedding photos we are going to be doing Sunday for Steven's wedding (Ruth's son). We are shooting at Pioneer Park. I hope it's cloudy Sunday. That way the pictures won't be so bright. Wish us luck.

We've gotten hooked on Battlestar Gallactica. It's cylon this and cylon that. We are at a cliffhanger... waiting to see if Cmdr. Adama is going to get his men back before the Admiral executes them. Pretty exciting stuff!

I went shopping and bought 5 pairs of pants and 2 shirts! Hooray. That was fun. I also bought several patterns, so I can do some sewing. I'm glad the sun is up early in the morning and sets late. We have so much more time to do our projects! Dad works until almost 8 p.m. plowing and planting and irrigating. It's about 9 pm when the sun sets. I took 4 boxes of stuff to the Goodwill Wed. I am trying to clear out the garage a little so we can walk through it. It is packed! As is the porch. I have boxes to take out from the porch, but the hand truck dolly tires are both flat. So, I'm stuck til I get those fixed. I guess I'll take it down to American Car Care when I go to Karen's for the plants. I'm going to try to get Dad to go to the Hyart tonite with me to see the new X-men movie. It almost sounds like I live in a city, doesn't it?

I hope you are well. Hugs and kisses to you all!
