Arrived with the wind...

We all know that planning an outdoor work day in Colorado, in April is a tad dicey. Well, as you can see we had beautiful blue sky and at 8 am it was actually warm. By 9 am the wind was blowing so hard we were wondering if we would need the tractor to hold us on the ground.
We want to thank all the volunteers (18 total) who worked at cleaning out flower beds, removing and trimming wayward shrubbery, laying rock, building fence and moving furniture. A special thank you to Randy and Robin who brought their tractor and did some ground breaking for our garden, as well as pulling out some posts and a few things that ONLY a tractor with a front loader could accomplish.
At lunchtime we took a tour of the cottage industry site. We walked through the various steps taking fleece and making felt and also showed off our Gospel Green herbs. I heard that the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were close to gourmet!!
All in all it was a very productive day!! Thanks to a group of wonderful volunteers!

Hoppy Easter!!

Some of TCR Ranchers spent time at home with their families, but those that stayed back at the Ranch were able to enjoy a beautiful Easter Service at Hope Centre in Greeley, followed by a yummy Easter ham dinner with strawberry shortcake for dessert. Some wonderful friends of the Ranch; the Sundowners of Eaton and the Redeye Rotary, provided baskets for all of the Ranchers. The smiles in the pictures tell how much they enjoy these gifts. Our heartfelt thanks go out to these generous people. God Bless You.

PS The Ranchers will be going to the show this Wednesday to see The Horton Hears a Who thanks to the Easter gifts!!!

Special "O" Basketball Competition

On March 22, it was an exciting time for all Triangle Cross Basketball participants. Lewis , Janice , Marsha and Gloria were part of a great event at Gold Crown Event Center in Lakewood. It was announced that Lewis is the oldest participating athlete involved in Special Olympics in the state of Colorado. We are really proud of him and the beautiful Gold Medal he won for an outstanding performance. The girls arn't to shabby either. Marsha and Gloria came home with Silver Medals. And of course the other Gold went to Janice. We are very proud of all of our athletes.

IT'S TIME TO BOOGIE!!!

Dancing is fun. Most think so, but the Ranchers think it's great, especially when you get to dance with your friends and eat all you want.

A few weeks ago we had our annual Valentines dance. This is a time for food, games, laughing, talking and, of course, lots and lots of dancing. Many moons ago, this tradition was started and it's just as fun and exciting as the very first dance.

These pictures are of our Rancher's and their "dates".

Anyway, we had fun and ate till we were ready to burst. What's not to love about the Ranchers?
