It's been forever since I've listed upcoming stuff but I figure it's time...busy spring coming right up. We haven't had winter in Tucson this year but:
Welcome Jim Shepherd!! As most of you know he's purchased a neat little house about 3 miles from us, right on a cool golf course with a nice view of a lake. He's got the usual wildlife traipsing around....bobcat, javelin, quail, etc. He needs to know of the coming's and going's too..
So, dates, activities "at the ranch":
13 Feb: take USS Enterprise (aka 3 horse trailer with living quarters) to Scottsdale, set up, get settled for horse show, come back to Tucson.
15 Feb: Lynn and maybe Rich go to Scottsdale for a huge long Arab World horse show. This actually lasts until 25th but Lynn comes back a little early. I'll be up as well for this week-end but come back 18th or 19th. Lynn stays until 22nd or 25th depending on visitors/various social activities.
20 Feb: Rich flies to ranch, get "stuff done".
24 Feb =/-: Rich either flies or drives to Colorado.
26-28th : Rich skies with friends in Aspen/Snowmass.
28: Lynn flies to Denver, we meet in Winter Park until 3rd of March, then work way home.
March:
8th: Rich has reservations in Vegas for PAC 12 Tourney-to 1th. If Lynn off she will join Fri night, come back together, either Droughtbuster or drive.
15th or 16th of March: I understand Ash and kids and Erica and Megan head for Orlando; Ash for a week for a meeting as well. I think Erica comes home the 20th. I was going to go, then reservation window closed and plane prices skyrocketed. There is 30 day "open season" window that is coming up to re-check as far as if I can go. Would love to show the grandchildren the UDT museum in Ft Pierce if possible.....Diane are you listening???
April:
2nd: Rich leaves for San Juan River fly fishing trip with friends: back the 6th to ranch..
16th: Rich leaves for Kansas for important Marx-Son Farms business, and, oh yes, maybe a little turkey hunting. Back by the 22nd.
26th: Rich and Lynn leave for Paris, meet up with Inger (a big yay here), and we drive around France for a couple of days until the 29th, at which time we all three get on horses and ride ancient trails up and down the Loire Valley staying in various Chateaus. This is Inger's idea, don't blame me. Of course Lynn is packed and left yesterday...then we bum around Paris for several days, then home the 12th of May.
June:
1st: Leave for Kansas for Dickson reunion, fly from Mesa, stay at Augusta's. Return the 4th if the schedules haven't changed, haven't checked into that yet but it is time. Ash: Is Addie going with??
17th: I think that's the Marbrisa check in in San Diego for that week. Ash/kids/Erica going for some or most of week as of my best recollection.
29th June: Lynn has a nice 2 week vacation scheduled and we don't know what we're going to do yet. Out of Tucson definitely, ranch for at least a lot of it.
22nd; I THINK that's the Winter Park check in...for a week. Lynn could not get that week off at her vacation meeting so that's a no for Lynn.
Well, that's all I got, no idea about September but there is an option on the table for a week in Panama in early Sept on somebody's yacht. The recently disposed president of Panama's brother rides horses with me on Los Charros and he's made a nice invite for 6 couples. We'll see. He's a great guy.
I just threw these out so if we're not around and someone needs to contact us, the schedule is there...plus so I know where to go next.
Love to all, be safe,
Dad/UR
