visit with Willy and Toni at Burns

Last week was a busy one. We went over to Burns on Wednesday and stayed with Will and Toni Brown. Will and Toni were married last June 21 in Lehi, UT. They met at a series Mountain Man Rendezvous events, and found that they have many things in common. Toni was ranch raised, a rodeo queen and loves camping and canoeing. Will had moved to Lehi in Feb 2007 to heal up after his heart attack. We had visited them during the summer of 2007 and I immediately bonded with Toni, it was like we had known each other for years. Last September Toni retired from her life long career of hairdressing and they moved to Burns. (Will and former wife Laurie raised their family on the ranch next to Ansel and Martina off of Foley Drive north of Burns. You met Laurie on the Oklahoma trip, when we went to the National Cowboy Hall of Fame Museum)

Toni makes a terrific corned beef and cabbage, and we always get a special homemade cake for dessert. This last time, it was sort of an orange/pineapple pudding thing that was to die for. Ansel especially looks forward to her sour dough pancakes.

They had lots of time for visiting and catching up while I did my presentations at the high school.
