Up at the Bunkhouse on the Silver Spur Ranch!

Howdy, y'all! Whew...been so busy around here haven't had a chance to update my blog in forever and a day! Since I was on here last, we've had a wedding (my eldest son) and our first Grandbaby! Now, that's a long time! Welcome our new Daughter-In Law, Regina

 

 

 

 

and our new Grandson, Kilian Conor Bates!

 

 

We've finished texturing & painting the walls in the Bunkhouse and have been laying river rock tile!

 

We've also been getting the "Ranch" up...yes sirreee...we now have our ranch name up! So, the Bates Bunkhouse is up on the Silver Spur Ranch and I'll still be writing to y'all from up at the Bunkhouse.

 

 

We've got the Horseshoe Pit ready for y'all!

And yes...that's Jessie's ringer...so y'all better practice up!

Kelly built the Fire Pit, so we're ready for some pickin' and singin' around the campfire...hmmm...maybe even a little Chuck Wagon style cookin'?

Daniel is working here, cutting the stakes with the welder torch for the Horseshoe Pit...so I'm thinking we can get the guys to make what we need to cook over the Fire Pit.

Kelly is a certified weld instructor for the Union Pacific RR. We are thinking about getting the ranch up and running by him teaching welding and also, working on a line of Weld Designs! Also, Jessie is teaching Riding Lessons on the ranch!

 

Contact us up at the Bunkhouse if y'all are looking to take Riding Lessons!

 

 

We are working on our gardens and learning about the weather and insects here in North Texas. We finally got my little Grotto up and I'm enjoying it, can see it through my dining room window!

We are getting ready for Jessie's Country Jamboree!! This is an annual event that we've held for 7yrs. up in Colorado and now we've brought that tradition down to Texas! Y'all come and enjoy!
