well it’s hard to believe, but Summer’s almost over… but then again, did it ever get here? I don’t think I have used any of my tank tops at all this year, but got lots of wear and tear on my fleece jackets and mud boots…. but it was fun, fun, fun…. I actually concocted another long entry yesterday with pictures and everything and then got disconnected. We had a rainstorm come in and my connection was fading quicker than I could save the entry 
…. so I try again. By now I’m sure y’all know that Scooter and I had a great show in Great Falls. I will try to post some video later on – We had two first places, a second and a 4th place. Wow – it was way cool. The neatest thing though was to have the support and enthusiasm of Kathie, Bob and Stacy who came along to support Pat and I in the show pen. I truly enjoyed their company and their support was beyond words. Thank you guys for being there and being such great friends. How fortunate I am to have you in my life. You really made showing (and celebrating) a whole lot more fun!!!!
The second week of the clinic went over even quicker than the first – if that was even possible. I love the August Seminar – simply cause I get to see and ride with all my friends. The July is always fun, cause I get to meet so many new people! Anyhow, after the fun filled weekend with Charlie Russell Train ride and gathering cows etc we dashed into the second week with lots of enthusiasm –
here we once again enjoy a wonderful evening amongst friends – pretty tough to “rough it” like that, huh?!
Bob, grilling our steaks to perfection – thanks Bob!!!
no puppy was save of Kathie’s spoiling…. they either laid down at her feet, waiting for some “involuntary” food droppings or then they stood in front of her camper, waging their tails, waiting for some dog cookies or then the real sneaky canines figured out how to go INTO the camper and sprawling out on their bed!!!!! Thanks Kathie…. it’ll only take us 10 months to get our puppies back to reality 
To Doreen’s dismay, Pat figured out the “train whistle” he’s got for watching/feeding the horses while we were off on the Charlie Russell Chew-Choo ride ….
look how GREEN it still is…. usually by August the grass is brown and burnt…. so yes, we had lots and lots of rain, but the sunny days made up for whatever bad weather we had….
This is Cory in his new outdoor cage…. sharing his food with his pet Chipmunk….
well, I hear the Kubota’s engine… so I know Pat is not too far … I best get ready…. I will continue the entry another time – more pics to come and of course more stories…. cause Summer ain’t over till it’s over
