I've really been goofing off lately and haven't written here. We have had a great summer so far. It started off with a wonderful week on Lake Powell on a houseboat. Our friends, Hal and Dee own it and had invited us a couple years ago to join them this year. We are so glad we did. It was a completely relaxing time, with nothing to do except watch the absolutely gorgeous rock formations go by, eat (with a gourmet cook, Dee), sleep, read and swim. I also got some quilting done. We heard no news, watched no TV, although we could have, and really enjoyed ourselves. What a vacation! Usually you have to go home from a vacation to rest up, but this was not the case with this vacation. We can't say enough thanks to Hal and Dee for their wonderful hospitality. We had a ball!!!
Then we went to Rocky Ford CO for a few days, which we spent with our friends, the Gragerts, who pastor a Southern Baptist Church there. We were included in a huge garage sale, which since I didn't have to organize it, was great fun. Also we did a concert and a sing-a-long while there, and took part in a neat potluck dinner. Old friendships were renewed while there and we made new friends, too. What a good visit!
Next on the agenda was the trip back to northern CO to where our trailer was stored for the winter. Our gracious hostess, Carol Lontine, welcomed us and took us in until we could move our trailer to her property and get it set up. We are southwest of Kersey, CO. Since the Robels, where we stayed last year, are building a new house, they had no utilities available for us, so we had to move out. But at Carol's, we have 14 llamas, a dog, three cats and a turtle for company, besides Carol. We are helping her with the animals and allowing her to be away sometimes. She went to her 50th class reunion in Denver at East High shortly after we got there.

We have done a lot of concerts, mostly at Senior Centers, since we got here. Things are going well for us here. Already tho, we see the end of this season here coming.
