October brought a storm… November brought the family, loss of a dear friend. However, one would be remiss to ignore the blessings that God has bestowed by friends, old and new. We saw so many “step up to the plate” in so many diverse ways.
The "Rebuilding of the Remuda" has begun. Rainbow Bible Ranch is not setting out to replace our great horses that we lost in the storm, Atlas, however we must rebuild. We had our first acquisition today. Thank you Tyler and Jeanne for bringing Red down with you from Bozeman, MT. Our wranglers like him. And what a great day as we were privileged to make not only acquaintance, but friendship. We look forward to fellowship again in the near future.
We had a pleasant time of visiting with our great friend Bernie Hunhoff , publisher of the South Dakota Magazine, in our home today. The blue sky and sunshine was certainly welcome to even allow for a little drive around the ranch. Robin made us a great meal of homemade bread and one of our favorite cuts of beef, tri-tip.
Bernie composed such a nice article sharing the story of ranch families and their trials and victories following Storm Atlas.
Kiersten and Julia stand with a beautiful heifer that a family from eastern South Dakota gave to the family after the devastating losses caused by Atlas and the other day we received two great cows from a dear family near Bozeman, MT. Certainly puts a smile on one's face.
We truly enjoyed our time with Sybil and Anna of the British Broadcasting (BBC). One might even say that the day was "lovely".
Anna and Sybil do a program for the BBC called "ON YOUR FARM". They featured our family on two different programs. We highly regard the privilege of getting to know these ladies.
Nearly a tradition is the visit of dear friends, Donny Tribby and Mary Tribby Stewart and their great kids. Don and Mary represent so well what friendship is all about.
And so what happens when Don and sister Mary bring the kids and mix them with the Reinhold kids... "LAUGHTER" !
