we turned up the lane to only1 tire track. chris rode in by himself. i'm impressed!carmen and marie were hard at breakfast burritos.kyler wandering around monopolizing her share.quiet bunch,chowed down and discussed the days events. maries bunch is planting main street in grants, so wee got kymag .wade and chris and tim separated A I cows yesterday had good time. tim had to leave early yesterday  . " big meeting " well come to find out the boy was under heavy pressure to wine and dine . word has it ,he would rather have his teeth pulled! rich and jane [ and surprise ] tanya marie,were wrapping cow yesterday. it was good and fat. tim split the other half. we had a good time . had to remember dad cutting meat off the ribs and mom wanting to boil the bones for soup. for crying out loud its no wonder we're warped.

   one of my patients commented on our family and how close we are. i smiled and thanked her with the comment that a family is as close as the participating individual is. to make ties with each other you have to get up and be part. mom incessantly was after us to the day she died on the phone, and dad in his passive way demanding togetherness.  how strange it would have been not to have each other.
