Chapter 165: The New Session

It was after ten o’clock that night when Anna finally made her way back to her own cabin. Dinner had been served in the dining room in the main lodge, and the traditional Welcome Campfire had followed. It gave the guests a chance to get acquainted with each other and with the ranch staff, most of whom were members of the Graves family.

Anna’s older twin brothers Andy and Ross taught sessions in advanced horsemanship and in working with cattle, respectively. They were also in charge of caring for all the horses in the Sweetwater stable. Andy’s wife Simone worked in the kitchen alongside her mother-in-law, Teresa Graves, and she performed many of the housekeeping duties. She and Teresa also took care of reservations and guest relations.

Anna also took care of many housekeeping tasks in addition to teaching the beginning riding sessions, which generally meant working with the children who visited the ranch with their families. It was what Anna enjoyed the most.
