Dear Family,
Just a few words and some pictures. What a weekend! Thanks to everyone who came to the ranch and helped brand all the little calvies and then stay to help with the gutting of the house. It was a lot of work and dirty but so many hands helped us accomplish a lot and get ready for the next phase. I slept really good last night! Our next day will be over Memorial Day weekend and we'll be doing drywall.
For those who haven't heard, Riley Mickelson was killed on Sunday in a tractor accident. I had just talked to him a couple of weeks ago before his brother Lawrence's funeral. Also, Merrill Lloyd passed away and his funeral is on Friday. He had been in ill health for a while. Lots of transfers in the last few months.
Here are a few pictures from the weekend. I took a batch of pictures before Grandma's house was cleaned out and a few after. Also several from the branding activity. Enjoy!
