Friday Night Fun

Well, haven’t written in a while. Bill has finally healed from his surgery and we are back on track with activities at the ranch. The last few Fridays we had an opportunity to play with the horses. The kids (and myself included) are enjoying getting back in the saddle. The winter was tough on us […]

Young Travelers – Forgiveness

Tonight we talked about forgiveness. I love this one because we can use the horses to help illustrate. And the weather finally cooperated, so we were able to go to the barn and work with the horses. The kids learned how to groom and saddle. We also showed them a few things to look for […]

Charity Benefit

Wow, did we have a great time, or what??? Last Saturday’s benefit was a blast. Everyone had a great time and God truly blessed us. When you look at the pictures, you will see a lot of smiling faces. This year’s benefit was even better. Our ranch youth participated in most of it. We were […]

Monday 1-31-11 Week Three Young Travelers

Tonight the boys worked on their belts, and are ready to stain the leather. We talked about wisdom and what it is and where do they go for wisdom. They all seem to be enjoying the book and reading it. Kathy Latocki also recorded it on CD for those who might not like to read. […]

Big Brothers Big Sisters Award

We got a nice surprise last week. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jackson County gave Lazy B’s Ranch the 2010 Contributing Organization of the Year award. What a great honor!

The Group

Last night we welcomed Bruce to the group. Bruce is a student at Jackson Community College and is a part the a group called Men of Merit. These guys are awesome. Their main objective is to help the community, especially, the youth to get an education and “be all they can be”. We showed him […]

Week Two Young Travelers – Responsibility

Monday we talked about responsibility. Bill, Kevin, Kyle, Dorrein, and I went to the barn to feed the animals. They picked their horse that they will care for while they are here. They learned which animal gets which feed and took all the hay out for them. They also helped Bill move some hay around […]

Friday was REALLY COLD, so we had to just have fun in the house. Chris had to work, so I cooked dinner again. Everyone survived, (I think?). We played games, some kids worked in the shop and some played the piano, and then some took some pretty silly pictures with my camera. It was a […]
