It made me miss Kendall Shaules (the grandfather of the Kendall Shaules that lives down the creek now) very much as he used to land up on the air strip above Mom's house and take us all for rides. I VIVIDLY remember the time he gave me and Gwyn a ride, and I threw up in his stetson, which was unfortunately for him the only thing I could find! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKExlbapSd0-u8rLUTFLA047FwqoJm4j8PRQsz879W8Aam7PAQGnu6RWV52vyVhP2w-yTm3QiP2AzLm_Icon7o_uX_97T3-cCXUkroMCaaD1X9ZSA6rjI7pR-LI2pKfU_gz0sRwfWTrJ_g/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256457649708649634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKExlbapSd0-u8rLUTFLA047FwqoJm4j8PRQsz879W8Aam7PAQGnu6RWV52vyVhP2w-yTm3QiP2AzLm_Icon7o_uX_97T3-cCXUkroMCaaD1X9ZSA6rjI7pR-LI2pKfU_gz0sRwfWTrJ_g/s320/009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Linda Anne aka Old Queen, Wicked Stepmother, & Fav'rite Auntyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09815317526017483002noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791911428611145548.post-65839011175826089662008-10-12T19:13:00.000-07:002008-10-12T19:18:58.467-07:00When it was handy to have a horse...There was no way the ropers were going to get the horsetrailer full of horses or probably even the horsetrailer empty down the county road and to our house, so after two days of NRRRS roping finals 10/11&12, they parked the vehicles at the cafe and road home.

The train trips from Malta to Minneapolis and back were fun... with a few caveats. The cousins (Lynne & Betty) and sisters (me, Gwyn, & Nanny) were fine. Blake was GREAT. The relatives were okay. The weather in Iowa was GORGEOUS. The location of the reunion was GORGEOUS – at a nice lodge on the edge of Clear Lake for which the town of Clear Lake, Iowa, is appropriately named. We visited two small rural graveyards in which many relatives were buried, including my dad’s dad’s mother and her parents. We also got to visit the old farmstead where my dad’s dad was raised until the family moved to the Glendive/Wibaux/Circle area when he was about 7 and shortly after the death of his mother. All the original buildings were gone, but I liked standing where they had stood and looking at the country that they had looked at… walking in their footsteps so to speak. </div>Linda Anne aka Old Queen, Wicked Stepmother, & Fav'rite Auntyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09815317526017483002noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791911428611145548.post-59175401230434607802008-08-25T17:19:00.000-07:002008-08-25T19:37:19.828-07:00Hammond Family Reunion #4...My dad's dad Ted Hammond was born in Belmond, Iowa. He mother died when he was about 6 or 7, and not too long after that, his father gathered up the young children as well as some of the older sons and went to eastern Montana--the Circle area. There Ted met a young school teacher Myrl Phillips who had come out from Minnesota to teach school. They married and had quite a number of children, including my father. This reunion was organized by some of Dad's cousins so that we could all see where we came from. There were two local cemeteries with numerous relatives including Ted Hammond's mother Marinda Curran Hammond, who died at the age of 46, I think it was. This photo is of two cousins of some sort, almost the same age but most certainly not the same size or color!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhDab1Jzg0kM-2pdi8rBRTXaxPblq5nqO9rivbWc_xS5AMd-iK7W3uun4eEfMzpMJEr1cFD3SyKxbqv4H8XJrS0QEENQj-MfKRfDFrXaI3qsc-K1tkxW9W-gEVOaFwd4nDgVoh-8rPrj_n/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238615425231407330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhDab1Jzg0kM-2pdi8rBRTXaxPblq5nqO9rivbWc_xS5AMd-iK7W3uun4eEfMzpMJEr1cFD3SyKxbqv4H8XJrS0QEENQj-MfKRfDFrXaI3qsc-K1tkxW9W-gEVOaFwd4nDgVoh-8rPrj_n/s320/003.JPG" border="0" /></a> This headstone belongs to Marinda Curran Hammond's grandmother, I believe.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioApz5h5YwVENcI8YqClvJ7afk3Q4nmSVofQ8_eJ2yPB64kNoH4LrCxVtQmijjRUa21sCy05XeUbwR1mlUoSpIdvndPIlBbd-yscQ02fwR4C8uS-9J1EfJljViTtg8taweXmtB6kRcaG1J/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238615432057125650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioApz5h5YwVENcI8YqClvJ7afk3Q4nmSVofQ8_eJ2yPB64kNoH4LrCxVtQmijjRUa21sCy05XeUbwR1mlUoSpIdvndPIlBbd-yscQ02fwR4C8uS-9J1EfJljViTtg8taweXmtB6kRcaG1J/s320/001.JPG" border="0" /></a> I stood on the Hammond farmstead when I took this picture.

Not me! I was quite proud of myself from keeping her from getting hold of the spray nozzle, which she REALLY wanted. And she had big fun drinking sips of water out of the faucet with the spoons she was supposed to be rinsing! As you probably all know by now, I'm going back to work at Agri-News as an editor. I will certainly miss Carterkins! She has been a delight, not to mention just plain funny! She's a wonderfully bright girl, and I love her so. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_DHWUCNu3ABC51XKAhjB4J2T9pmgFxC-Y1sPAvhP3hyv8obrjgxRz5mHg-gzMKoFPK6MpBvHkZ2jyajQTYocpmO-Nz697cKNOcdT1u7eY3mcHtqleNupal-1ICvL0c1yKBtcvzEatYLiA/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238613064194781874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_DHWUCNu3ABC51XKAhjB4J2T9pmgFxC-Y1sPAvhP3hyv8obrjgxRz5mHg-gzMKoFPK6MpBvHkZ2jyajQTYocpmO-Nz697cKNOcdT1u7eY3mcHtqleNupal-1ICvL0c1yKBtcvzEatYLiA/s320/003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Linda Anne aka Old Queen, Wicked Stepmother, & Fav'rite Auntyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09815317526017483002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791911428611145548.post-51278644357234595782008-08-25T17:00:00.000-07:002008-08-25T17:13:34.193-07:00Sterling scared the tee-total out of all of us...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKWk2U4LsROhRzj9KmpjXgtYM4EIioI2F922LlwzsEtflVGCnO6_y4Ljltw9KXWR8p7yTrGYVbtEyS8C3WWAxtc-lq9kb5ABgun2cbKFXO9aYPAzHcvHerVyr9uLF66oqAi0vRGuF4dWuq/s1600-h/001.JPG">Wednesday August 13th Sterling woke up complaining about a sore wrist, which nobody much paid any attention to at the time. By that afternoon however, Chance came to tell me that Sterling was laying on the lawn crying because his arm hurt. He had a BAD night, and his parents took him to walk-in care the next morning, where he basically was patted on the head and sent home. However, he had a ROTTEN night that night and yelped if anyone touched his arm so back in they went Friday morning. Different doctor, a lady, who after tests, etc., said he had a staph infection in his arm and admitted him to the hospital and hooked him up to IVs feeding him antibiotics. By Sunday morning he was worse, sitting on the edge of the hospital bed sobbing. Scott called me (I was on the train headed for home) and asked what he should do and I said, quit dinking around with walk-in care doctors and GET A SPECIALIST. So they did. Sterling had to have an operation as soon as they could work him into the line on Monday morning the 18th. About 1 yesterday afternoon, they did surgery—Christy was his nurse. much to the family's relief. Sterling had a 5” abscess running along his arm bone, which they removed, cleaned up, etc. The specialist told Scott & Staci that Sterling has a rare bone disease which he sees in Billings a couple times a year. The disease manifests itself in staph infections in the bone. When treated aggressively with antibiotics, the vast majority heal up and never experience any reoccurrence. A few have ongoing problems. Sterling was in the hospital for five days. He will be on anti-biotics for 6 weeks with weekly blood tests, and they won’t know if he’s out of the woods for six months. SCARY. As of today, the 25th, he feels great. He's still wearing a bandage but says his arm doesn't hurt at all. He is missing the first week of school just to be cautious.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238609696610647650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKWk2U4LsROhRzj9KmpjXgtYM4EIioI2F922LlwzsEtflVGCnO6_y4Ljltw9KXWR8p7yTrGYVbtEyS8C3WWAxtc-lq9kb5ABgun2cbKFXO9aYPAzHcvHerVyr9uLF66oqAi0vRGuF4dWuq/s320/001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Linda Anne aka Old Queen, Wicked Stepmother, & Fav'rite Auntyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09815317526017483002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791911428611145548.post-16770483492520365332008-08-12T21:13:00.000-07:002008-08-12T21:21:11.278-07:00Rock climbing north of Grampa Bill's house...L to R: Chance, Ashley, Vashti, Sterling, Brandy, & Dustin<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82GaI9UecTZ-o-ZqeJL67el9SR9_cYu6s18tA4OfIxb6-SZ1UqqcNMQtJBIjqn6XkIxnBGUz8ubNu7Ljsoc6F_TT3SQyeLR3x4hfULOGdocC6hzCeXzhQKigffb4ITBpUtBpnB7MDG_qO/s1600-h/100.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233851535949331714" style="DISPLAY: block;
