A Retreat for Peaceful Contemplation

Ruth, do Bison roam free in ND now?  In the 50's when they were on the endangered list, one of my cousins contracted with the government to raise them.  He happened to love horses and had a small heard of them, nine for his family to ride (7 kids) and 3 or 4 well  trained horses for herding.  One year when we were having our family reunion picnic the bison stampeded and broke through their fence.  The oldest teens and all the men saddled up and rode out. The herd was coming straight at the home  place so we got to watch them chase them down, turn the herd by killing the lead bull and head them back towards the pasture.  My heart still pounds when I think about it. 

I'm glad there are at least some Bison roaming free!

HB Cheryl, Newport, Balboa, Lido Isle? Ah, so pretty. Were you there to take the photo?

FOR GMA - Thinking of You

Marple, it's a city park, LOTS of roses. Meet with some women in the early morning for a stroll. Couple hours later, a bridal party was taking photos there. So pretty (and smelled divine)

How cute is that, Ducky! Family friends?

Ruth, thank you for that saying.  Both my scars have keloid scarring smack dap in the front of my chest then both fade and are not noticeable.  I wish it to be the opposite but can't change what is.  I will contemplate the thought every time those keloids bother me and know it will change my mood tremendously.

feel better GMA

Cheryl, oh yeah, duh! Should have looked closer. Did those roses come from your garden? They're gorgeous!
