2018 Speeding By

Well, the holidays have come and gone and we are already in MAY!  Where did the time go?  Well besides working and doing chores around the ranch, we have been busy.

November was filled with food and friends.  December brought the graduation of Chris from Texas State University in San Marcos, TX.

January of the new year was cold weather and we held a big party celebrating Chris's graduation.  Too much going on in December to celebrate properly.  I'm sure he is glad that chapter is closed.



February, the month of love, whizzed by with activities such as, the Super Bowl, our church's annual chili cookoff, and an early start to Lent.

March's Irish eyes smiled down watching us keep busy.  We attend several geocaching events and assisted with the big annual Texas Challenge geocaching event. 


Over 500 people came to this 4-day event in Denton, TX from all over the world.  We also helped the church put on a live Stations of the Cross in shadow box form and put together a party at church for our African Mission trip.

April...ah spring...oops there it went. Spring here is a matter of hours not days.  We hung out with family and friends for Easter and always look forward to that time.  We celebrated some geocaching friends renewing their wedding vows with an event and of course some caching.  We did not celebrate tax day.  Our Andy turned 25!!  Doesn't seem possible.


We went to Richardson, TX and spent the day with him eating and playing games. 

Ray created and placed our first puzzle cache.  He made Andy and Nina test it out.  Guess he thought if they could figure it out, anyone could.  It published as GC7M441--give it a try.


And now here we are in the second week of May already. 


It was 70 degrees one day and 90 the next.  This month Nina has a baby shower to attend in Pflugerville, TX and there is a LARGE geocaching event in Cincinnati, OH to which we will be going.

The ranch is quiet.  The cattle are doing well, but we lost all our chickens to predators and haven't restarted our flock.  Everyone stay cool this month and we will talk to you later.
