The ranch had a special guest today, Rosie Caparella. Rosie, who is 99, wanted to visit a ranch which brought back memories of her childhood near Buffalo, NY where her parents had a cattle ranch. Her visit was part of the "Ageless Dream" program at Willow Creek Assisted Living here in the valley.
Rosie was hosted to a tea party by Kristie Chadwick, Mary-Anne Van Degna and Jeanne Hatfield. They enjoyed teas and cakes from Whole Foods.
Rosie also had a chance to pet Buck, one of the quarter horses who lives on the ranch and works cattle. She also saw the cattle and the flower blooms on the cactus which came out today to celebrate her visit.
We hope she comes back again soon.
