We are leaving soon and must post “branding” pictures and description. The ranch hires local cowboys and some that go on a circuit around to which ever ranch is branding. We cook for fifteen cowboys, but cook enough for leftovers for their supper too, and ours. We have learned that there is no need to make any fluffy salads or strawberry jam. We are sure that if they would try it, they would like it, but they all look and go on down the line. Only meat and potatoes for these cowboys. Today we told them that their mother’s called and told them they liked pink-the salad was the yogurt, strawberry one. Not many takers still, except Coley who came back for seconds.
I was happy to see that all cowboys don’t wear Wranglers. Several wore Levis, just like my cowboy daddy. They are all very kind and a little shy. “Yes Ma’am” and “No Ma’am” is about all the say, except “Thank you’all”.
The Cooks-Sister Christiansen, Sister Pyper, and Sister me.
We didn’t go out and watch the branding. Been there, done that. There is at least one more week, possibly two of branding. Sister Pyper, the white haired lady will be on her own after the 1st. The secretary and Miguel’s wife will help her. Miguel’s wife speaks no English. Hopefully all will go well.
