Cousin Dot has this information for us -- there will be RV parking at Becky and Dave's place. Dot sez there will be room for 3 and possibly 4 rigs with water and electricity available.

Everyone needs to be responsible for making their own reservations whether at a motel or at Dave and Becky's!

For those arriving on Friday there will the usual hot dogs and burgers at Millie, Rick, and Dot's house. Please let Dot know if you will be there Friday night and/or Saturday and Sunday ASAP so they can plan their shopping lists (and menu).

Besides the above remember to bring you White Elephant gifts and your raffle items. A good raffle means we are self-supporting.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Mike & Cinda's (20515 NE 89th Ave, Battle Ground 98604 Phone: 360/576-5457) June 20-22.

PS: Al & Phyllis, Aunt Evelyn, Brad & Cassie, Jack & Alex, and Brian, Christopher and Connor are planning to be there Friday evening and Saturday. Christina will be joining us sometime later on Saturday. She has an event she has to work in Seattle for the Alumni Association.

PSS: If you said Buffalo Bob Smith from the Howdy Doody Show you are correct.

Our Arizona Home

These are some images from our Arizona Home:
The cactus blossoms are beautiful. This particular one is an Agrentine Giant. Their blooms last for only a short time -- 24 hours or less! And they small sooo good! All cactus plants bloom we're told.

There are many Big Horn Sheep in the desert; although we personally haven't seen any. Many of the residents have ATV and spend time in the desert -- that's where they are seen.

Friendly lizards like to "cool off" once in a while too -- this was in our neighbots lot.

Hummingbirds abound when the weather is warm.

Pictured with Al is our friend and neighbor Bill. He is the one who has taken the pictures you see here of the sheep and other critters. Bill spends much time in the desert and has some wonderful pictures. Al borrowed an ATV one day and Bill was his guide to the desert. There may be an ATV in our future!

Welcome

Don't know about many of you but I have been frustrated by the length of time it takes to move from one category to another on the MyFamily website so thought I'd try something different -- this is also FREE. I am just in the process of getting this set up and an invitation should have been sent to each of you.



Let me know what you think!



We arrived in Colfax Monday afternoon about 3pm. It was an eventful trip -- we had to change the fuel filter on the truck in Bull Head City, Arizona, a tire on the trailer in Pahrump, Nevada, and another tire on the trailer in Carver, Nevada. Now, if you were to look for Carver on a map you may not find it -- it is about 60 miles south of Austin, Nevada, on US 95. Basically, in the middle of nowhere!
