Passed a Big Cattle Drive

Three generations of the ranching family were riding.

At the Nursery, Debbie Carries the Flowers

You Boys Stay off the Flowers

We made a potato and hamburger casserole this morning, fixed some lunch and went to town. Debbie dropped me off for my haircut at 1:30 and took the car down to Express Auto for an oil change. After the haircut was done I walked down to meet her, and we started on a multitude of errands. We got the box of donated art supplies dropped off at Rendezvous Pointe for Judi. Mailed a letter that needed postage. Picked up the repaired laptop at the telephone company, got a milkshake, walked the dogs. Took the batteries and chargers to Union Cellular where I left the phone last time for the high school kids to repair and make some money for their projects.

Stopped at the Sublette Examiner to place the ad for the art show in the barn. We went up to the nursery for some flowers for my pots, and tomorrow we'll plant those. We drove out to the frame shop and got the old drawings I did when I was a little kid from Ruth - she had them shrink wrapped with a backing and I'll store them away. Got a few groceries and another prescription. It rained while we were in the store. Then went to the meeting about the new Community and Art Center - was in there about an hour. And home.

We saw quite a few of the Rainbow Family mostly in the grocery store. I'm glad I don't live that way, nor does anyone I know. Pitiful actually. Traffic on the road going and coming back was quite a bit more than normal, and one huge bus we passed was spitting out columns of black smoke, all the windows broken out.

Joe had put the casserole in and had his dinner so Debbie and I each put a plate in the microwave and had some dinner. I had been very tired all day, so just laid down and went to sleep almost right away. Debbie talked to Curtis and he'd gotten as far as Provo and was going to drive a while longer. He will get here tomorrow.
