Dick has been cooking since last night. The leaves are in the kitchen table, the
extra chairs have been brought out. The prime rib smells wonderful, there are
crab, asparagus, & shrimp in a puff pastry on the counter, and the wine is chilling
The salad is in the fridge, the relish trays are done, Gladys is resting in her chair and Dick is putting the finishing touches on the buffet.
Gladys' nephew, Ed Dahlin and his wife, Flo, are coming out from Sheridan,
followed by thier son, Bill and his wife Rachel. Rachel's nephew, Johnathan,
from Fargo, North Dakota is coming along bringing two friends in tow.
Ted and Peggy will be coming up from their place at Stag Rock. Sam Lei
will be coming in from Ashland. Sam is Gladys' son in law, he was
married to Joyce who died five years ago from cancer.
Ed's mother, Elma, was Gladys' older sister. Aunt Elma was married
to Stride Dahlin. Their homestead was on top of the Divide between Bear Creek
and Otter Creek. It is owned by Eddie Nichols of California and Ted leases
it from him for summer pasture.
The Dahlin family originally came out here from the Sand Hills Nebraska.
Elma and Stride sold out during the Thirties and moved into Sheridan.
Both Ted and Dick lived with them during their high school years at
Sheridan High School.
