Thanksgiving



Ranch News

It is hard to believe that we are into our 5th week at the ranch already. Many of our fellow volunteers are ending their stay at the ranch and moving on to other adventures. We will miss all of them as each one brings something special to our experience. Most of them are young adults and their enthusiasm and commitment is inspiring. They keep us old folks young.

I have been finishing the erection of the vehicle storage building. The only thing left to do is to install the power and then install some lighting. I am not sure what I will be doing next but there is never a shortage of things to do. Darcy has been busy getting the gardens ready for winter. She has been leading work crews planting, mulching and pruning. You wouldn’t think that there is much to do in the gardens in the fall but it is amazing how much has to be done.

Off to Erin and Bretts

After spending the evening in Little Rock looking at the new Clinton Presidential Library we left for Asheville, NC. After a 13 hour drive we arrived for our week long stay with Erin and Brett. It is always fun to spend time here in Asheville with so many things to see and do.



We wish all of you a very special Thanksgiving Day. We would ask that you think about all the people in the world who will be hungry on our Thanksgiving Day and do somethig about it. Contribute your time and or money to your local food bank or to our favorite mission Heifer International.
