OUR SUMMER VACATION, PART 2

Roger and all his buddy's from Disney

Sometimes it's just fun to do what your husband wants to do, even though we may have other ideas in mind. My honey got a call from an old friend who was throwing an 80th birthday party for one of their mutual friends from work. I wanted to take another camping trip! But when we get to our age, sometimes the "old friends" are few, and going camping can always wait!  So this past summer we took a trip to Surprise, Arizona to attend the birthday party. Needless to say we flew there, as you can see in the photos! What nice friends I met there and they also invited us over for a Mexican breakfast at their home. We had a few extra days, rented a car and also drove to Sedona and into Prescott.  We had a wonderful time and I am so glad we went.

Needless to say, we DID take that camping trip!  Our car club has a CAMPOUT once a year.  So this year after we returned from Arizona we packed the trailer and high-tailed it to Odell Lake in Central Oregon, in the Cascade Mountain Range.  We all stayed four days, had a Friday night cocktails and appetisers, and a Saturday night pot-luck.  Ate way too much!  Played a lot of card games and just sat around and enjoyed the company.

We did a lot and had lots of company this past summer.  Our friends from Washington are coming here for Thanksgiving, and all of us are having the dinner at my sister's home in Bend.  Then Christmas will be here - way too soon!  But I am so excited that my daughter and her family will be here for Jesus' Birthday!  They haven't been here to visit in almost two years!

So bless you all and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
