Jets and lava beds

Last week my granddaughter Nichole was here visiting from Jackson, Calif. for a week. We first took her to the lava beds and climbed all over Cap't Jacks stronghold( the last indian war fought in American) where 60 indians held off 600 soldiers for 60 days untill all killed or captured. After walking the trail I can see why so few Indians could hold off that many for so long. Then last weekend we went to the airshow. Saw all the jet manuvers and Nichole liked the fly boys .

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves

grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
