Saturday, May 30th.  A nice sunny day with a big wind blew in Mike, Morgan and Colton Booth from Tahlequah, Oklahoma who drove up to get a Border Collie puppy from Ed Hamersley.  Ron, Charlie and Jancy Collins from Mammouth Spring, Arkansas drove over to pick up their dog "Tee" and Lafarrel Wess' dog, Bandit.

Wednesday, May 26th. A busy day.  Rick Cole, Nowata, Oklahoma stopped in to visit and talk dogs.  Ben got the small pasture next to the house bushhogged.  Sheila (Kelpie) had 9 puppies.  Leslie thought one of the Kelpies was chasing a doe, but it turned out to be a coyote.  The doe would chase the coyote, then he'd turn and chase her.  Ben decided to end it.  One less coyote for Angel the guard dog to worry with.  However, it was a clean miss J

Saturday, May 22nd.  We slipped over to Greenfield, Missouri to visit Ben's sister, Sue Gimlin and daughter Gwen and Russ and grandkids.  It was a pleasant day.  We ate Chinese with Sue then drove on over to Dadeville to see the kids greenhouse venture.  Sue used to have greenhouses too and has given the Russ and Gwen lots of good information.

Beautiful Jenny, granddaughter.

Swing high, CJ!
