In Memory of Susie (the horse)

My sister-in-law Tammy loves riding and competing in Ranch Horse Competitions. This is a picture from this summer when she was competing.   Tammy and her boyfriend Dan were in a serious car accident last night on their way home from practicing their horses.  A man went through a stop sign and hit their rig going over 70 mph.  Dan and Tam suffered minor injuries, but the other man was killed.  Tam's horse Susie's injuries were too many and had to be put down today.  So I post this picture remembering a good horse, and also thankful to the Lord for sparing Tammy and Dan's lives.

Old Barn on Highway 3

 This old barn is along the highway south of Wishek on Highway 3. I had also photographed it last August, so here it is in two seasons. I think I like the green one better. :-)

Philip and Track Indoor

 My son Philip running at NSU (Aberdeen, SD) indoor track meet on Sat. Good Job Philip!!

It was really close in this heat. From where I was standing, I couldn't tell who had won the heat, but alas Phil got 2nd.  But took 6th place over all. (200 m race)

Where the snow belongs?

While driving to Aberdeen today, Kristi and I saw this on the side of the road, and just had to stop and take a picture, it was pretty funny. An port-a-potty in the ditch, and full of snow. Just too funny to pass up a few quick shots. It looks like it could have been close to some construction site, shut down for the winter of course.

 This second port-a-potty was less than a quarter of mile from the first one, and on the opposite side of the road. It was half way up the john in snow. Since there was so little of the john showing, at first I didn't even think it was a port-a-potty, but on second look, I realized, yup there's another one buried in the snow.
