Grandma's 85th 4

Grandma with 8 of her 9 children. She also has 52 grandkids and as of last count 81 great-grandkids. I think she is probably done with grandkids but as far as great-grands - well, there's plenty more where that comes from!

I am so glad we made an effort to be there for such a great celebration. I am so thankful for all of those that made it all possible. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

I have many great memories of my Grandma and Grandpa Hunt. My Grandma is the greatest example of unconditional love, everywhere that Grandpa went, Grandma was only a few steps behind. I never heard my Grandma refer to my Grandpa as "Grandpa". She always called him by his full name, "Bill Hunt". Bill Hunt needs this . . . or Bill Hunt says that. Classic! My siblings, cousins, and I spent many days riding in the back of the camper on our way to Cedar Mtn. or Jackson Wash to herd or check on cattle, Grandpa just a truck & trailer ahead of us. Grandma always had lunch (complete with a Pepsi and a Keebler cookie) for all the hired hands and a little bit of Dan Seals playing on the radio! She was even the pick-up lady when horses were a little to fresh to ride or if one just up and ran away with us. She would always take pictures of Grandpa, the cows, and the landscape and then go home and paint them. She is such a talented, patient, selfless woman whom I am proud to call GRANDMA!!

Wow haven't seen the whole crew for a while. Especially that Aunt Darla of yours. I thought she had dropped off the edge of the earth. Nice picture. Love, Nicole
