Howdy family, updates:

First: a huge thank you to my Sweetheart Lynn; what an amazing surprise birthday party at our home last week-end. The daughters all came down, and was a great mixture of old "East" side friends with good friends from the "west". Me, I just kind of wanted to saddle up old Justice and go to the top of Escudilla Mountain at the ranch, and poor Lynn was pulling her hair out unbeknownst to me. Ashley furthered the threat by allowing me to go to the movies with the Grandkids (finding Dory or something of the other..). So, how could I refuse but to come on down? And, what a great party! Lynn and the daughters had a caterer and a DJ. The pool was busy with the kids and an (occasional) "grown-up", some voluntary, some not. But, No shots were fired, no cars over-turned, only casualty one cell phone. And then, a wonderful brunch the next day at the near by Ritz Carlton. A great way to turn the big 7-0 for sure. Today was not so hot though.....just got my left shoulder plunked for the Third time for an attempt at some pain control.. However:

 Now, from here:

Thursday I'm flying to ranch, Lynn drives Jeep up Friday. All horses shoed Fri afternoon, then we will head for Winter Park for a few days either by DroughtBuster or Jeep...home to ranch in time to get to Tucson then Phoenix for Saturday night to catch a plane Sunday am early for Missoula MT! We will spend a week on Rich Ranch fishing, rafting, bush-whacking on horses into the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area.

  Home to Tucson for a week, then heading for Orlando for a week to see Diane and the local sights with EJ and Jeff and Megan! In August. Whew.

 Then home, and that will take us to early September.

  Maybe TMI, but that's the schedule,

Love to All, UR/Dad
