Back to Work and 100 Year Celebration!!!

Went back to work yesterday!! It has been busy so the time has been flying by! Tomorrow is the anticipated busy day because football practice starts and all the players have to have all their paperwork and fees turned in BEFORE they can practice.....they have waited until the last minute...of course!!! Tomorrow afternoon we will be fast and furious!!


This last Sunday was a big day in our family...the Hailey Brothers came from Missouri and homesteaded Hailey Company in Mesa and Hailey Ranch in Eltopia, 100 years ago!!! How awesome is this??? The afternoon was spent reminiscing and visiting and having a great time. I hadn't seen some of the people that attended ever and lots of them I hadn't seen in ages. Getting reacquainted was fun. Here are some pictures I took:
