My father had a ranch for a while; I was too young to remember. However, my Uncle had one that we went over to visit often and this post brought back some sweet memories of Ranch life, horses,cow and fields. <br />Thanks for the memories today.LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-18889780598342220632012-03-16T14:00:26.821-06:002012-03-16T14:00:26.821-06:00Yikes!
