The Beginning of Summer

I can't wait, it is almost here...

I know that most people are hearing this alot lately with school getting out, summer vacations being planned and MEMORIAL DAY Weekend is just a few short days away.

I CAN'T WAIT, IT IS ALMOST HERE!!!

The last few months have been difficult for Steve and I. Our grand plans of spending a lot of weekends at the Ranch this spring, just didn't happen. What with me starting a new job, breaking my foot, hitting a tree with my jeep, and Steve changing shifts. The spring season just slipped right by us.

But guess what Memorial Day Weekend is almost here and we will finally get to spend four or five days at the ranch! I think the ranch is getting ready for us too...

To me Easter Weekend is the opening of camping season at the Ranch, but this year we will have to make it Memorial Day Weekend and I know that both Steve and I and the Ranch are anxiously waiting to get together.

What am I all excited about??? I am all excited about getting together with our friends and riding and camping. I am excited about seeing friends that I have not seen since last summer and catching up with them. I am excited to participate in all that the ranch has to offer.

I will be busy making a few cakes for the Fun Addicts CAKEWALK Fundraiser. I have not been or participated in a CAKEWALK for at least 35 years ago. Will I be participating in this one? Only time will tell. But I will, at the very least, donate a few homemade cakes for the occasion!! Fun Addicts is a new committee on the ranch, it is totally all about family fun. They are putting on a Pirate Theme Party for the kids during the Poker Run. How fun is that!!!

I am also looking forward to watching the trail rides and I may participate in the lessons on care of a horse, why not, it is a good thing. I grew up with horses, but again have not rode one for 30 years.

Saturday morning, we must attend the Flea Market and then I will need to make sure my brownies are down at the Craft House for the Bake Sale. I love the Craft House, you never know what you will find down there.

We are hoping the minature golf course will be ready and open to play and then of course the pools will be open and busy!!

What with a band on Saturday Night and the Forum Fest and then we also have a Poker Run, stocking of the fish, swimming, getting ice cream, shopping at the Trading Post, and fishing, I can only hope I can get into some serious ride and social time!!!

Now I know that I won't be able to participate in everything that the ranch has to offer this next weekend, but I will try to donate as much time as possible. I am a big supporter of Ranch Time and Ranch Time can screw up the best intentions!!! I am glad that the ranch is offering all the activities, because no matter who you are... YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AT CLOUD NINE RANCH!!!

IS IT TIME YET??? ARE WE ALL READY TO MEET DOWN AT THE RANCH?? WE ONLY HAVE A FEW SHORT DAYS LEFT AND THEN WE CAN LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!
