This summer my wife and I were blessed to visit the ranch of a member of the Board of Directors for Toccoa Falls College Foundation.  The ranch was beautiful and the scenes in Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Parks were fantastic.  We saw wildlife and rode horses.  I did take a fall and have [...]
