All the kids know that spoons is my favorite game. It can be a little dangerous, though. Last Friday was our last Friday Play Day for the year. Amy, Ashley, Ashley, and myself cooked dinner. Believe it! After dinner I made the kids stay inside for at least one game of spoons before they went […]

This Friday the kids took my camera and decided to take some silly pictures. Megal was fascinated with the birds sitting on the barn and in the trees. We had pizza and as always, the kids went outside after dinner to play hide & seek. It has become a tradition and they want to do […]

A group of us went to the Buffalo Ranch Sunday. It was great fun! We took a wagon ride back in the field to meet and greet the Buffalo up close and personal!They are huge!!! The kids were a little intimidated, but when they learned they had to stay in the wagon to feed them, […]

Well this past Friday, Chris actually was gone. She went to Howell to babysit her grand kids. She had a great time and I was really glad she got to do it. However, I am next in line to do the kitchen stuff. The kids knew last week that I was going to be in […]

This year’s Berkley Benefit was another success. Chip pulled together a great night of fun, food, and music. We saw some friends we hadn’t seen in a while and that was awesome. Bill and I appreciate our old friends from the Detroit area pitching in and helping us with funds to care for these kids. […]

Two Fridays ago on Y.T. Play Day, the weather was not great. Our first snow flurries! However, we had a few kids willing to bear the cold with the horses and we went out in the arena and played around with the horses. Didn’t go out on the field, it was just too cold. Also, […]

Two evenings this past week, we had a few groups out to the ranch for a trail ride and campfire. What a pleasure it was to serve these folks who take their time out of a busy schedule to mentor youth. Four “matches” came on Tues. and five “matches” came on Thurs. The weather was […]

Well this Monday was our last day for this Young Travelers group. Our lesson for the night was persistence. I have to say that these 4 boys were very persistent in learning about horses. One was very frightened at the beginning, but by the eighth week he was riding out in the field with the […]

Today we tacked up George for the first time since he came to us last week. He is settling in and he has become boss over the herd. We kind of figured that would happen. Leslie, from Equestrian Outreach, told us that he bossed her herd around too. Sometimes this is hard to watch because […]
