One of the side benefits of giving a big party is to fix up your place in order to get ready for company. We had dinner at our friends the Sutherland's in Mississippi. Jim and his father had just completed their new dining room, and reported to us that without the dinner party, the table would have waited another month to be completed. Having company has additional motives than having a party.
I was reminded of that when we arrived at the ranch today, and noted several improvements, made specifically for the 55th celebration. The gate was changed and upgraded in order to accommodate the bunkhouse delivery. The road to the Top House was changed to make it easier to drive up the hill. The bunkhouse was installed to serve the 8 cousins during the event. It worked splendidly. The electrical system was upgraded and past code violations corrected. Now we have an additional 200 amps of electricity on a different pole plus 4 permanent plugs for trailers or RVs. And we have three dusk to dawn lights, which Ken does not like. We moved an ugly play house to accommodate the tent.
All these improvements will be enjoyed over the life of the ranch. The reason for having the celebration was to gather together friends and family. Memories were made that will last a lifetime. In addition, we will enjoy the improvements at the ranch and recall happy times!!
