| Eric's 50th Birthday Chuck
      Wagon Dinner August 6, 2018 | |
| My handsome husband turned the big
      5-0 on August 6th this year.  We celebrated with a visit to Cripple
      Creek Horse Ranch, owned by our wonderful church friends Ora Jay 
      and Irene Eash.  (BTW, they also did the amazing accomplishment of
      writing a successful and very good book.  I am so proud of
      them!  You can buy it here: https://amzn.to/2SgeWKr
      )  They offer sleigh rides in the winter, we're going to try that the
      first winter we spend in Montana. | |
|   We had a big group so they hooked up two wagons for us. |  | 
| Horse bottoms and a lovely view, somewhat washed out by my poor picture taking. | |
