Gary has been helping my cousin with some ranch work lately. He enjoys getting dirty again! He helped take some of Dwights corrals down --- they are wanting to put in railroad ties as posts and then the new fencing. It's hot work and they have plenty of time to get it done so it gets put aside for more important work. He has also been helping Rob (Dwights son) tinker on some mechanical problems.
You heard (via prayer chain)about my problems with the long distance service out here. It has not been resolved as of today. If you aren't up to date on that problem......it has to do with having a South Dakota phone and a Nebraska address. The other problem is that we are keeping my Aunts phone service (keeping the old number) and so we are not on the account and can NOT make any changes to it. Robbi and her husband don't know the password either so that makes for more time consumed resolving that...... I tried to get a "reservation phone" but you have to have proof that you are living on the reservation and we really don't have that. That would get us a cell phone that can call any South Dakota number for free but nothing outside the state....which would really solve our dilema....... So keep that in your prayers. Every kid we want to call is long distance and it is costing us about $.26 a minute.
On Wednesday we had 2 girls over to do some scrapbooking. We had hoped for 4 but ended up with only two. But we had a real good time. They were here at our home from 2:00 until after supper. We had burgers and homemade potato salad and zucchini from our garden. They had never had zucchini but were willing to try it -- and they said it was good. They are both real sweet girls...very polite and well mannered. They were Miki Colombe and Diondra Bordeaux. They asked when they could do it again.....I think next time we will go to the Community Center at church and hopefully have more girls next time. I wasn't sure how it would work and wanted to keep the first time small......but it went great so we will move on to bigger numbers. Oh! and by the way if you want to make potato salad the Native way you only put potatoes, eggs, and chopped pickles in it - dressing is mayo, mustard, sugar and a little pickle juice.
We will be heading to Colorado this Friday. Bruce and Glenda are "babysitting" Jamie and Amy Peters children ----- and they need LOTS of help :-) so Ken and Sally Krueze went with them and we will be joining them until next Thurs.
That's all for now. Thank you for prayers and support!
Gary and Barb

So pleased to hear of good things that God continues to do. I love it that you are connecting with so many ORC people even as you are in a different place - makes it seem like you are not even gone!
Your potato salad recipe is the only way my Grandma used to make it. I guess you have me desiring a taste for that now. Anyway, Blessings as you travel and thankful that you can connect with some "old" friends from here.
