Beckman Ranch
It was their first wedding anniversary and they were to celebrate it on their ranch.  They had survived their first year of marriage in a house in which kitchen water was frozen solid in winter, rattlers cavorted and rattled under their bedroom floor boards in summer.  They had invited their family and friends to join them, but it was springtime on a rural, Montana ranch in the sixties.  Last year’s bride awoke to over a foot of snow, and Vince had the animal chores to attend, so Arlene grabbed the shovel and cleared a path for their guests.  Happy Anniversary!
