Hello Everyone!
We've been busy since I posted last. I don't have June's birthdays in front of me. Imagine that. I will post them in a separate blog.
So far this month we've had a HUGE party. Not something we are used to here at The Barn, but it was loads of fun. Rob, Gina and Al do a great job hosting this party for their friends every year. I think this is the third year they've done it.
I want to thank Rob, Gina, Al, Tom, Nancy, Chris and Holly for all doing such a wonderful job and making the party easy on Dad and I. The two of us are afraid of crowds but with friends like the afore mentioned we can handle anything!
Remaining June Schedule:
Saturday, June 14th: Benefit for Kathy Brennan
There will be a silent auction, food and drawings for various items
Black and White will be playing
Saturday, June 21st: Annual Barn Golf Tournament
Shotgun start at 8 AM at Tomahawk
Party after golfing at The Barn. We will have food and prizes.
The rest of the month is open so if you would like to schedule something just give us a call. 787-5458
I did remind everyone of Mother's Day last month so I better remind you that fathers day is coming up on Sunday the 15th. To quote Bill Cosby: "Dad is great... give us chocolate cake."
See you all at The Barn SOON.

May, 2008 at The Barn
I want to thank everyone for coming on the 3rd for both the fund raiser and the funeral reception. It was an honor to have both events hosted out of The Barn.
Again, our condolences go out to everyone touched by Paul and we thank you so much for choosing our establishment for your reception. I, unfortunately, was not able to attend the service at the church but heard it was very well done.
The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer fund raiser went very well. The food entered in the dutch oven cookoff was all spectacular. It was hard to choose and I found myself wishing I had more than one vote but... there can be only one (for each category). I think the barbecue ribs took first for the main dish and the caramel apple crisp won the dessert category. Mmmmm....
Dean's team won the dart tournament. I apologize for only listing half of the team to win this event but I'm afraid I don't know the other gentleman's name. I will hopefully find out and be able to post it here in the near future.
The baggo tournament was canceled because of the soupy wet conditions we had outside.
I've found our birthday book and am going to list our May birthdays in this blog. If I'm missing anyone please let me know so I can be sure to add them to our list! My list seems awful short so please, please help me fill it in.

4th Cheryl
6th Tom
9th Doug
15th Peggy
Coming up:
I mentioned the "block" party in my last blog and I'm here to remind everyone it is this coming Saturday the 10th! Come and join the fun.
Also, just a reminder, to keep some of you out of trouble. Sunday, May 11th is MOTHERS DAY.
The following Saturday, May 17th, we will be having a wedding shower, so don't forget to bring the bride her gift!
Hope to see each and everyone of you for all our events. If you want to schedule something, get in touch with me, Holly or Robert.

May Happenings
Hello everyone.
I want to wish Doug a belated April birthday. We didn't get to see him on the 27th but a little bird reminded me that it was his birthday.
This month is beginning to fill up. This coming weekend we have a couple of events.
One of our beloved customers recently passed on and we will be having the reception after the funeral Friday, May 2nd. It's an honor to be able to help in any way we can. We send the family our condolences.
Saturday, May 3rd we are going to have people here for Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and the Dutch Oven cookoff. I really hope the weather cooperates. Right now it's blowing and snowing but I'm hoping it will clear up and warm up before Saturday.
Friday, May 9th is Dean's birthday! I don't have my birthday list here, but I happen to have talked to that same little bird who told me about Doug! I hope to get my birthday book down here and list all of May's birthdays in my next post.
Saturday, May 10th our neighbors are having a block party here, but I'm sure everyone is welcome. You don't need to live in such close proximity to us wonderful people down here to qualify for some fun.
That's all for the night. Have a great day!

Winter CattailsGood day everyone! I'm posting some new information. We are finally coming up on the busier season where we will actually have some news to post.
So far, the April calendar is still wide open. It was Alexandra's birthday the 13th and Marcia's is coming up on the 18th I believe and also Deb's birthday is the 19th. If I'm missing any birthdays for this month I apologize and maybe I'll catch them before the month is out.
Alexandra and I entered a photo contest hosted by The Dahl Fine Arts Center and the Rapid City Journal. My pictures didn't get accepted into the exhibition, but two of Alex's did! I'm so excited. The award ceremony is this Friday and we will be able to go see the competition's pictures, as well as her pictures, at the Journey Museum. Wish her luck! I've posted the two pictures at the top of this blog entry. There will be a peoples choice award given as well.

Sunday Winners!
Today was an eventful day. I had the busiest Sunday I've had in months.
The Fools showed up carting food and good cheer and had a little get together today. I didn't know Dale "Glug" and Heather "Legs" were expecting a child. She's due in October. I think she said the 3rd or 4th. She's got a cute little belly already and is looking very good.
Walt's daughters are here. One from Florida and the other from Denver, and they all stopped by today. It was good to see everyone having such a good time.
Nascar was interesting. There were a few wrecks and both sheets had a winner. Try to show up when Holly and Shane are here, maybe they'll buy rounds in celebration! I don't know if Holly knows she's won but I'm guessing Shane doesn't have a clue. It'll be fun to see his face when he shows up the next time.

New Comments
Hi everyone!
I've had a few questions about our new baby. Rick and I named her Edy Elizabeth after her grandma Edy. She just turned 4 months old and I'll post a picture on here to show her off.

I sent out a few emails to let people know about our blog and I've gotten quite a few responses! I'm excited and if anyone wants to look at the comments all you need to do is click on the particular post you'd like to see the comments for.
Thank you to everyone who emailed me and thank you to all of you who sent us a comment! Please, keep 'em coming. We just love it!
Tomorrow is Friday and our busiest night of the week. I'm looking forward to seeing our Friday crowd again this week. Tuesday night darts were great once again and Wednesday night cards had a good turn out. Lee took everyone out and secured 1st place but Kim got 2nd and Tom took 3rd.
The weather has been interesting lately. It's been teetering between winter and spring now for a couple of weeks. One week we'll have 68˚F weather and the next it's snowing. It's snowing right now as a matter of fact.
Again, thank you to everyone who sent me a reply email and also thanks for the great comments too!

Spring has Sprung!
Hello readers! It's officially the first day of spring today and that means things should be picking up around here.
St. Patrick's Day was much busier than I thought it would be. Dad came down to help out. It started out slow enough but got much busier when our neighbors came to visit.
The Hamaker Reunion is officially set for the 4th of July weekend. July 4th, 5th and 6th. I'm getting excited for that one. The 4th of July is always fun, but I think it'll be even more fun now that we've got a reunion going on that weekend.
I was just told that the first day of spring is ALWAYS on the 21st, but my calendar says it's today, so I'm going to run with that, but if it REALLY is tomorrow... Happy First Day of Spring TOMORROW. Shows you what I know about holiday's and dates. ;-)
The dart league on Tuesday is going great. Everyone seems to have a good time. Poor Stacy got a hat trick during cricket. It's a good thing except we don't give out complimentary drinks for cricket hat tricks. Poor Stacy! Lucky US!
Well, have a great first day of spring either today or tomorrow.
