July has proven to be an exciting month for us.

Coming back to Fremont County, we needed a place to park the big ol' camper and a place for Bob to carve. Thanks to Lee and Cindy, we have just such a place. Thanks so much, we really appreciate it! It is really nice here.

 While we are here we are planning to accomplish four goals: 
#1 Get all the Wyoming orders done! 
#2 Clean out the storage shed. 
#3 Relax a bit before the next carving demo/art show! 
#4 Make inventory for the next big show.
Little did we know it would involve horses, a donkey, a big red pit bull, a new trailer for Bob, motel room, gambling, plus lots more.
The first week of our stay in the horse pasture was interesting. We got to meet Jake, Mini and Gunner. Jake loves cookies and licorice and likes to open our door if we do not respond quick enough. He just makes himself at home.

Mini on the other hand is so sweet and fuzzy. She has the most beautiful eyes.
I really thought Gunner was going to be a problem, especially after Lee said he likes to eat small animals. Holy cow, how was I ever gonna let my puppies out?! Well, he only comes around once in a while and we only let Ray and Theo out while we stand there and watch for him. I haven't seen Gunner be mean at all, in fact he just wants a rub on the head, just like any other animal.

So, back to the goals. #1-Orders to be filled-lots. Bob had these done in the first two and a half weeks. He has been working in the terrible heat, 90-100 degrees almost every day. But he got them done.


 These were made from the trees that used to be in front of South Side School.
 This porch now has seven brand new bears on it!

Goal #2-Clean out the storage shed. While we are not quite there, we have made some progress. We took two loads down to Kyra in Jordan's little blue truck. (Thank you so much Joe, for letting us use this. It has been a lifesaver!!!) This is what the shed looked like when we started.

HOLY COW! What were we thinking??!!
We now have about half of that.
But we filled the poor little truck up until we thought it would burst. 

Goal #3-Relax a bit before the next carving demo/art show!
 Well this is a hard one. It's almost impossible to get him to slow down. 
Bob skipped right over this and started in on.... 
Goal #4-Make inventory for the next big show.
Our next show is the Moffat County Balloon Festival in Craig, Colorado. Bob and one other excellent carver, Jon Parker, will be doing carving demonstrations all day on August 2nd and 3rd.
