I had the privilege of working for the Olson family from the time I turned 14 through my 22 year. They are salt of the earth folks who have ranched successfully here on the desert for lots of generations. Cal Olson was my mentor/friend/neighbor for my entire life. He passed away a few years ago. Today his wonderful wife joined him in heaven. Ruth was 99 and such an amazing lady. She cooked the most amazing meals for the ranch hands. She made us feel like we were part of their family. She served so many people in our valley and was such an inspiration to us all in how to be a Christian woman. She loves to play cards and we spent many nights waiting for a heifer to calve playing cards. Ruth is from a generation we simply cannot replace. She has gone to be with her Beloved Cal. I shall miss visiting her and her sweet smile and the sparkle in her eyes. Rest in piece my dear sweet friend!!!
Working for the Olson family was one of the highest honors of my life. I will forever treasure those days and nights cowboying for the Lazy H ranch.
