Well, this week Jessie has had a bit of a set back in some of the things she is doing on the ranch. Life on a ranch CAN get interesting! We had a stray dog upsetting the rabbit cages and she lost her California Buck, Gus. He was one of those types that was a grumpy Gus when she first got him, but she tamed him and he became lovable...so that was really upsetting. Then, some goats got loose from a neighbor and ate her roses...just when they were blooming and getting gorgeous...she was going to take pics! We are looking for any fencing material y'all might hear about so we can put up fence along the 2 sides up close to the front of the property near the Bunkhouse.
We also found deer droppings on our property, so have managed to attract a deer herd again! Hmmm...we ladies are a bit dismayed with the prospect of them eating our garden...but the gents are very positive with the prospects of hunting! LOL!
We are getting ready to put up a fire ring out in the back pasture for bonfires. Jessie is the Director of Activities for the Fisher More College and we'll be having them down at the ranch and out at the Chisholm Trail for some camp outs, bonfires and other fun stuff. If anyone knows of someone donating a bus, please contact myself or Jessie. The college is looking for a bus to be able to bring the students down to activities in our area. Fisher More is a small Traditional Catholic College that focuses not only on academics but on prayer life. You've seen the college students here in pics as we held our annual Jessie's Country Jamboree. This is the college site:

Most of you already know that I am battling Stage III Colon Cancer...I am using this to offer up for the Poor Souls in Purgatory and for the intentions of all those who are praying for me. I am finding that it's truly been a blessing in many ways! It's given me a goal and a very positive attitude, even as I deal with side effects of radiation and chemo, I am able to brave it due to the beauty of souls I am able to assist...so anyone who has a special prayer request, please send it to me and I will offer up my suffering for that intention! As Mother Teresa once said about someone's suffering "You are so close to Jesus in your suffering that as he leans His head down from the cross...you are so close that He can kiss you." May God Bless you and take all sufferings and inconveniences as a closeness to Jesus on the cross!
