The Bull Starts Here????? And it's HOW deep?

After going to the Children's Memorial we rested awhile then went out to the Lodge to eat and watch the branding process.  I was tickled to see they are keeping their perspective.  They even measure it.

I presented Ron with his Mexican hat.  He wasn't sure in the beginning he wanted my "surprise" but he fell right in when I plopped it on his head.  Then I gave him the Fish Asshole and Chicken Lips cans and the night had begun.
Chartered in 2002 the Lodge finally has a home of it's own.,  It's tiny but has room to grow.  They were branding boards to become decoration in the lodge.  Duane - Jack of trades and MASTER of them all - fixed BBQ for dinner and the members brought sides to compliment it.

Nola, Bev (SIL) and Ken study the current results.

After branding - they wrote who, what, when and where about their brand.

The one on the far left is the Nephew's brand.

Somebody should have brought the calves - it was all set to go. And they could have done all the brands on all the calves!  Oops!  It's not done that way is it?

Back inside 2 Gmas attempt getting the booster seat securely attached..........

.....HOW many Gmas does it take???

Yup - 2 and an Exhausted Rooster (Exalted Ruler).  :)

Just had to get the two crazy hat men.  I love both hats.

Then since he had been so good (for 3 hours entertaining himself) I took KaCe home.





Back home we had us a Mardi Gras!!!

And that ends the first week in Gillette.  Bring on the rest of them!
