SHHHHHH! Don't tell anyone, but we returned to St Pete on 4/22 to see our grandchildren and pick up some things we forgot or discovered we needed from home. Heather has made some (good) changes to the living room. She definitely has her mother's gift for decorating and I love everything she's done. It was fun to dye Easter eggs with Elle and watch her hunt for them in our back yard. (while Grayson was napping!)

The Mannings and the Yates arrived on April 29th and 30th. It was a busy weekend for SK because the Zollingers were in AZ for the birthday and baptism of a grandchild. The Welch's didn't leave until 5/3 so that helped. Also, there were no tours on Saturday (30th) or Monday (2nd) when SK was assigned to that.
We were in charge of FHE on the 2nd, so we piled into the tour bus (holds 17 people) and took the Mannings and the Yates on the visitors tour. We have invited various people working on the ranch to speak to us on FHE: Jacob Birch, a cowboy training to be foreman; James Payne, an attorney for the ranch; and Jeff Walker, comptroller for the ranch. The information they share and the knowledge they have about the workings of the ranch is always very interesting.
We've had some important visitors at the ranch since we arrived. Presiding Bishop H. David Burton (Biography)and his wife came in April, but we didn't get to meet them. CK was busy working and SK wasn't at the Visitors Center when they stopped by there. Then a little over a week ago, people from KSL-TV in Salt Lake City visited the ranch. Article and video of ranch
