When Ilene says quick road trip, well I jump!!

Ilene needed to drop off an order up in Pinetop and needed a traveling companion and I love to get away so away we went.

Oh Ya that is rain baby!! A nice break from the heat!

I got to see my sis!! Highlight of my day!! I love you michelle!!

You would think 6 hours of driving in one day, not so fun, but with Ilene it is a blast!!

New to the Farm

We said goodbye to our beautiful horse cheif this year. We sold him to a 10yr old cutie pie down in Tucson who will put some miles on him. He was great yard art but needed to be ridden! We love and miss you cheif!
