horses burned and about 70 bales
of hay which Warren had bought
only a tw days ago. We regret to
hear that he carried no insurance.

Well, Deanie & Larry are pre-
paring to start their house. The
place they plan to build it has the
chicken pen on it. Ally & Kelby's
chickens came to a sad demise.
The coyotes dug under the pen
and had them for breakfast. This
was some time ago. To start with
Ally had chickens when she was
very small. They lived out near
Lost Creek, they moved into Per-
kins so Kelby took Ally's chick-
ens, along with the pen. Kelby
had a friend who gave her some
baby chicks. After their gradua-
tion from the bathtub they were
moved into the pen also - after
the Coyote incident. They don't
have any use for Ally's pen. Ron
moved it home (since they are the
country again). And Carson will
probably be in the chicken busi-
ness, Madison & Ally too. That's
the way it is with cousins. I think
it's really neat! It's Spring time,
and time for baby chicks.
Gerald & I have been having a
bout with allergies and bronchitis.
Gerald has his pretty well licked,
mine is hanging on. Consequently
we've missed two Mondays of
music, we hate that. Don't forget
us, we'll be back.
