I hope this finds you well. My hope and prayers go out to all the people all across America who are trying to cope with the extreme weather. Wednesday night I called my daughter in Oklahoma because the weather there was so intense. She told me her husband, Tommy, was enroute to Oklahoma City and together we talked on the phone and watched the weather channel. Tommy called her while we were on the phone and we learned that he, and twelve other truck drivers had pulled over in what they thought was a protected place only to be informed by a highway patrolman minutes later that they had parked in what would soon be the direct path of the storm at Ardmore. Thank God for this public servant! Tommy is now home and safe.

The weekend of June 10 will find us at a gun show in Forsyth. It is going to be held at the Haugo Center and is a new one for us. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Stay safe and dry (if you can), Rusty

Miles City Bucking Horse Sale...3rd Weekend in May!

The third weekend in May is just around the corner...that always means that it is time for the Bucking Horse Sale. This is a very big weekend for Miles City. Every year we take the soap to the park where elbow to elbow with the other vendors, we get a front row seat for the parade...visit with friends, and we always manage to sell some soap. There are so many things to see like a park full of artists each creating art for the Quick Draw contest. We hear the ear splitting sound of the massive steam tractors, and watch as contestants for the pie making contest pass us by with their wares. No pie, and no calories for us.

That's the memory...we are hopeful that the weather will cooperate this weekend. It looks like to might be a wet weekend. Soap is always available at Discovery Pond and online at http://www.montanasoaplady.com
