Late again....

Well, I am afraid that I am late again in typing up an update! As you probably guessed, we have been pretty busy with cattle work. We are finally coming to an end of the hectic busy season and are enjoying some quiet time.

The most interesting thing that happened lately was a square dance! :) We set up a square dance a couple weeks ago. Posting pictures is great, but it sure doesn't capture all the fun everyone has. :)

Settin' up












Our warm up song: The chicken dance!













Making a square of their own. ;)












Doing the 'Courtesy Turn.












Now do a 'doe Si doe'!












Turn to that corner!












Now do a 'Right and Left Grand'! (Are we confusing you yet?)












Ladies makin' the 'Right hand Star'














Ladies go in, Men Sashay













I like the skipping! ;)














What? You didn't think that was funny?












Oops.....No wonder our square kept messin' up!!














What is goin' on in that square? ;)












And here are a couple of pictures of us visitin' in between dances.



























Other than that, the Heckendorn Herd has been workin' some cows, putting 'em in thar rightful pastures, and enjoying watching all the baby kivs run and leap aroun' in thuh air. :)

Also, if you couldn't tell, trying out a new dialect of cowpoker language. ;)

In Christ's love,
Sarah

    Hey Aunt Evelyn! Thanks for stopping by. :) Well, I will let you know the next time we have a dance and maybe you can come down and stay for a while. :)

    Hey Samantha!
    I am glad that you figured it out. :) You're in trouble now, though, because I will be expecting to hear from you! However, I don't think that will be too hard because we often don't post for long periods of time because of life. ;)
    Love, Sarah

    P.S. do y'all have your own blog, Samantha? Or is that jsut your email thing? My name never shows up in blue like that because I just use my name instead of out email. Just wondering..... :)

    Hi!
    No, we don't have a blog. ( I'd like to start one sometime, though!)I don't know why the name shows up in blue.It might be because I follow a blog.
    Anyway, have a nice day!:)
    Love,
    Samantha
