 Today there was a special birthday celebration for a former "Ranch Hand" Cass turns eighty on Sunday. She comes to the Ranch every Friday and visits with friends and goes to the post office for mail. This week she was escorted by Lucy and the rest of the "ranch hands" gathered in the main room of the ranch house. Then Lucy brought Cass in they were talking and Cass did not realize there was a full room of friends present as she entered to celebrate her birthday. This went off an hour before our normal daily happy hour at The Ranch. Netty was able to bring the special surprise Birthday Party together.
