Friends Forever

Today I want you to meet the Rannells. This family moved to the Ranch last year and we became fast friends. Rick and Denise are parents to three great kids, teenagers even. Their daughter, Brianna, is a college student studying photography.
The boys, Josh, 18 and Jesse 15, go to Wiggins High School and participate in sports. Hank and the guys hang out together to play video games, ride four wheelers, shoot baskets, snowboard, fish, and ride to school together. Having these guys near by has really be a blessing to our family.

We have had shared many meals together, watched sporting events together, enjoyed weiner roasts by an open fire, shopped at thrift stores (one of Denise's passion), allowed our house pets to mate and bring 3 pups into the world, visited the Harvest festival, baked Christmas cookies, played kickball, attended highschool performances, shared birthday celebrations and even welcomed in the new '08 year.
Now that was the good news, but I've got some not so good news. The Rannells are returning to Minnesota to be with their extended family. How can you be sad about that, I ask myself?

The Pratte's will miss the Rannells', but just like you, we have these new friends and a place to visit that we will always be welcomed. And we've never been to Minnesota!
