Amanda: Solider Hollow (Sunday)

My friends, Mary Minor and Sandra Massie were married last week at Lake Tahoe. Georgette Levantis and her partner Paula Gibbs organized a celebration party at Sundance–The Tree Room. a wonderful restaurant in a spectacular setting. We did the usual at a wedding celebration–champagne toasts, lots of good wine, reading the telegrams. The night was festive, the occasion auspicious.

I awoke in the morning with my coffee maker cranked. It was lovely and overcast, cool by any Utah standards. I was up after Virgil Holland and Cap. Monty was a tad tight on his outrun, unlike him, but after that, not too many feet in the wrong place. My favourite part of it was the pen, which has eluded many and been the main challenge of the trial. Monty was confident and cool. I could make my moves with no worry of him. Sheep going straight in was a beautiful thing. It wasn’t like Dory the day before, when she brought the house down. It was so early, there was no one there to watch. He scored a ninety which held for the day.



Bev Lambert was among the happy qualifiers today.
