My brother-in-law, Mike Reed is always busy doing something. He and my iter, Caryl Reed bought a piece of property west of Casper a few years ago and built a house and barn there. Now they grow hay on the front part of the property. It’s been a great business for them. They bought one of those Huge rolling watering systems, and Make moves it around to take care of the hay. I find it pretty amazing really, because neither Mike or Caryl ever did any farming before, but they have really figured out all the trick and skills needed to make it work.
Their house is beautiful, and they have really enjoyed entertaining there. They did find that while most of the family comes into the house through the garage, because it is the main entrance, anyone who doesn’t come there as family, feels awkward about that entrance. That said, they decided to build a deck out front and put in a door off of the deck that comes directly into the dining room. It was a great idea and looks beautiful. Mike and our brother-in-law, Mike Stevens dis all the work 
together, and it is stunning. The guys really excelled in the craftsmanship of this door and deck. Another thing that Mike does, and often with the help of Mike Stevens is restoring old cars. Once restored, the cars are usually sold, and for much more that Mike purchased the car for in the first place. Of course, the vehicle is now worth much more than when he purchased it too. As I said, his craftsmanship is amazing.
When he isn’t working on the crops, the house, or the cars, Mike likes to do all the typical guy things…golf, hunting, and fishing. Mike has taken trips to Alaska, and Africa to go hunting. His trophy room looks amazing with the heads of the animals he has hunted. His trip to Africa was one of the highlights of his hunting “career” 
although he would probably not go back. The politics and the treatment of the workers was off-putting. Mike has a good heart, and he is always kind. I’m sure that is what drew my sister to her future husband in the first day. They are a perfect match, and we are all very happy with our brother-in-law. Today is Mike’s birthday. Happy birthday Mike!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
