Rose Bush in Back

Three Wild Roses

Edis sings at the Rock Rabbit Open Mike.

TUESDAY cont.: Went to town mainly for protime and groceries. Saw Joe's cousin Aubrey in the store. Had the free monthly birthday lunch at Rendezvous Pointe and sat with Judi, Rollie and their granddaughters. Edis arrived at the ranch in the afternoon, maybe an hour after I got back from Pinedale. Her little dog Lucy came with her. Lucy has been sick with a growth on her jawbone. So Edis needs to give her a lot of attention. Lucy is about 14, about the same as Sparky. She got settled in her room and we had some dinner - black bean burritos.

Edis asked if I'd like to go back to Pinedale with her and listen to her play her guitar and sing at the Rock Rabbit. So I said yes. I don't know when I've been in town all afternoon and then turned right around and went back in there, but it was very enjoyable. I like to hear Edis' music. We saw maybe four other people also playing and singing. It's an "open mike". We stopped by the Arrowhead house so Edis could see that It was late when we got back to the ranch.

WEDNESDAY: Dick and Sheral got to their ranch last night about 7 and unloaded their car until 9:30. They had a big load to haul up this time. Dick brought over some groceries this morning that they had bought down in SLC at Costco or Sam's club. I didn't sleep well at all last night, only a few hours.

Edis offered to help me with whatever she could today, and so she did some weeding and used the weedeater. The yard looks much better, and thank you very much for doing that Edis. We have enjoyed her visit very much and appreciate the effort it took to come down from Bozeman to visit.

Sheral and Dick were coming to dinner so I worked ahead of time on that. We had fresh salmon, broccoli rice casserole, corn on the cob, crescent rolls, with lemon bars for dessert. That took most of the day, after once getting going. By evening I was very tired and went to bed early and did sleep well, thankfully.
