An unexpected car wash... and other things

We have met some really dear people down in Arizona. They are so special and we look forward to see them next year when we come back. I am thinking of two people especially that have really blessed our family.

A dear, dear couple, Mr. and Mrs. D. surprised us by meeting us at one RV park and they had bought us pizza for our lunch. And another time they took our whole family out to Old Country Buffet. Last year they took us out for dinner. And let me tell you! It isn't cheap feeding 10 people! They are such dear friends.

And another dear man, Mr. M. has blessed our family. Last year, he turned his life back to the LORD after we played music at his RV park. And he wanted to bless our family this year by washing our vehicle. Yes, it was dirty... What a wonderful blessing it was and yet at the same time a bit humbling. :)The finished product. Hey, it's red again! :)

We've had fun doing some of the activities that Saddle Mountain RV has to offer. We enjoyed trying our hand at Shuffleboard. :)


The girls... all sitting out on separate rocks... cute!
Peanut was NOT very happy being cooped up in the trailer while the rest of us were outside. But she was very happy to see me! :)Greg... :) Just like a pro... ;)

  4. Hello Dears!

    What a lovely update for us--and my, your van looks nice and shiny now! :D I remember riding in it...:.) such sweet memories! <3

    We miss you girls so much, and I hope you received my "short" letter and Dani's birthday card. We would LOVE to talk with you, soon, on the phone--just call anytime and we'll try to be home! ;) Oh, by the way--I didn't get a chance to write in Dani's birthday card...:( I was meaning to, but Olivia sent it before I could! o.O haha Soo...I am sorry, Dani! I still have a birthday e-mail to send you. ;) AND I'm...*drumroll* only a few pages from finishing the half of the letter I am sending you, and *DRUMROLL* two pages away from finishing your's and Manda's letters, Em! <3

    LOVE YOU GIRLS! Thank you so much for your dear, precious friendship. It is sad that it is hard to keep contact, but we all know we love eachother, and absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?? ;)

    HUGS,
    Lu
