28 Great Years!

I can't believe that I am actually writing this post, but as I type Aunt Sue & Uncle Jack are packing up the last few things at the Jumping "J" Ranch. They sold the ranch and bought another great piece of property close by. We went down there yesterday so that Lance could help them move.

The first thing they moved was the Hot Rod. Uncle Jack, Jackie & Dad have been working on the Hot Rod for a couple months now. However, it is on hold now until the new shop at the new ranch gets built.

While the guys were busy packing & moving, the gals we hanging out in the house.

We then loaded everyone in the car and followed the guys for their last drop-off of the day.

Our final stop on our trip was to the "New Ranch". The land is beautiful. After seeing what Uncle Jack was able to do with the Jumping J, I can't wait to see what he turns this pretty land into.

Some last few shots...

This is the door frame that Aunt Sue & Uncle Jack have measured Jackie's height around Christmas every year. They are leaving it...I pray that the new family has as much fun seeing how they are compared to Jackie as me & my kids have.

So that was our last trip to the "The Ranch". Our last drive down "The Rocky Road". I have been blessed to have the "Jumping "J" Ranch" as part of my life for the last 28 years. I have so many amazing memories there. Thank you Aunt Sue & Uncle Jack for always welcoming me and now my family. Thank you Mom & Dad for taking us out there so many times! Gracie & Gwynie have had so much fun doing the same things I remember doing 20 years earlier. Lance & I can't wait to see what the "New Ranch" has in store for everyone. Uncle Jack~ you said to give you 6 months and we won't even recognize the new property. Okay then...the clock is ticking ;).

Good news~ The new family that bought the ranch all have names that start with "J" and don't intend to rename it. So the "Jumping "J" Ranch" lives on.
