Cavalliere Ranch

May there always be work for your hands to do. May your pocket always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine on your windowpane. May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you. May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. And may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you’re dead.

Joe, JoLee, Blue and Queen Ethel playing in the water. A must every night.

Summer is here and every evening it is like wild kingdom around are back yard. We have been blessed with two turtles from the Pottmeyer family shelly has had Queen since she was around twelve. We had to add Queen Ethel to make her more of our family! Her daughter is Isaw, because Shellys son saw her first. They have moved to oregon for the summer and the turtles could not go with them. Queen Ethel and Isaw come up to the patio every morning and evening to eat. Queen Ethel also comes when it is going to rain she will come and move the dogs over to sleep in the corner.

Our Family is Growing!

We have a new Puppy! Thanks to Georgia and Jessie for getting her to us and lets not forget her ride to us by way of Guy Shock. Big shout out to him, Yea Guy!!

JoLee made popsicle's

A Cowboy point of view:

You knew who the bad guy was and never let him win.

You fought tough if you had to, but learned to be civil and courteous.

You enjoyed facing a challenge like learning to rope or quick draw.

You took care of animals and fed them before you ate a meal yourself.

You played rough and touble and learnded how to handle a bloody nose or bruised knee without sniveling.

You learned cowards never stand up to a person of courage.

You found out a good deed can be done anonymously.

You Valued straight-talk and simple wisdom.

You stood firm against oppression and evil.

You gave of yourself to family, friends, and country.
