BevLive: Soldier Hollow Begins

I would say it was another quiet day, but any day with Amanda is bound to be pretty active.

Worked the practice sheep in the morning. Hemp and Mirk both seem to be working in a fairly mediocre sort of way, causing me not inconsiderable apprehension about the weekend.

Mirk and I did a presentation for the kindergarten kids at the ski school here. About thirty of them mobbed Mirk, who loved every moment of the hugs and kisses. What a character.

Amanda arrived before noon with just about the most beautiful truck I have ever seen. It has everything a person could want and a number of things I never would have thought of. I NEED a new truck. She took me for a joy ride up to the Zermot resort. Some truck.

As soon as she had the camper set Amanda hauled out her swimming pool and Howard Peterson was kind enough to arrange to have it filled with water.

Tom and Flo pulled in around four and after they had their practice runs we did a nice long trial field walk. It's a tricky field. I sure hope Hemp can manage that outrun tomorrow.

Sue Schoen arrived from Denver at sevenish (she flew into Denver with her dog Maid) and we all went out for dinner. Took forever to get served for a not-very-good Southwestern dinner. Disappointing.

So we'll see what happens tomorrow. Sue, Amanda and I all run in the afternoon.
