My cousin Eli is making AMAZING progress. He is in Missoula going through rehab. He will be moving into outpatient this week which means he gets to live in his own little apartment and ride a bus each day to therapy. He gets to have dinner over at this sisters house and hang out with the fam a lot. My sister told me that the other day he was playing guitar and singing Old Crow Medicine Show.

I am working with a few ladies and my bro planning a benefit for him in Livingston and at his rate of recovery he may even be able to be there!! I am collecting donations for the silent auction and raffle....if you want to make a donation let me know........

COME JOIN US AT THE ELKS ON FEB 21st!!

Sunday Funday.

The sun is bright and beautiful today in Paradise Valley. G and I have been feeling a little under the weather and don't really feel up for what we really want to do today.....go to the river, x-country ski, go for a horsey ride. We settled on treating the horseys to some yummy hay from the back of the truck and jumping ditches on the 'Kitten'; sorry Brooke....we had to change it up a little cuz kitty is a little protective of his name. ;) I found the perfect helmet and goggles yesterday (I'm calling myself 'Pink Vader') and G got a new beacon and has ordered a helmet. As soon as I am ready to trow down the $$ for a beacon we will be set for safety. For now we will settle for fun on the ranch.
