Stock show 2015..........



 We went out to Rapid City for the Stock Show. It was so warm out there, barely needed a coat!!
 I never get tired of the scenery out there. This is on the way to our friend's house by Deadwood.
 When we got there we visited and then went out to lunch. We parted ways after that the men went to Lead and up by Terry Peak to a mine. They had a look out point so you could stop and watch them at work. Very interesting to the guys:)

 We had a better and more fun destination.....Quilt shops:) First we went into Sturgis to the one there. It is in a house and she has lots of fabrics I got some western (of course) and some modern floral.
 Next stop was Spearfish and they have a great quilt shop. Of course Paula and one of the gals that works there knew lots of people in common!! That is almost always the case when we are with Gary and Paula. I guess we are just hermits we hardly ever run into anyone we know when we are away from Howard:)  I think next time I will find someone to pay to come up to us and act like we are long lost friends!!!
 We went to the rodeo on Wed night and it was very good all the top 10 in each event. Almost everyone scored and 1st place changed quite a few times.
 Thurs night we went to the show Black or White with Kevin Costner. It was very good.
 The deer are in Gary and Paula's back yard.
 Working on some things to donate to a fund raiser. This pillow and the bag below filled with books.

Books inside for all ages.......................JMF

Moving the last of the cows home...............

 Fri we moved the last of the cows home. They were 20 some miles from home. Suzie and Jared head out.
 Poor Tooties  she is left behind:(
 The cows were on some cover crop which is a radish and small grain mix. They loved it and came home fat and happy!!
 They didn't give  the guys much trouble and in less than 15 minutes were in the corral.

 Suzie  doing her job.
 Now get them loaded and on the road. We had 3 pickups with trailers. Instead of cooking for the crew I was part of the crew this time. I had a good little kid riding shotgun with me so it wasn't bad at all!! Thanks Lucas:)
I finished this yesterday will share it when I get it quilted and finished.......JMF
