It's been exactly a month since I posted last time.
We are now through our concerts here in Colorado and only have a week left to stay here. I am back to normal again and am feeling fine. All told, we did 16 concerts or special music things.
We got a 'new' (to us) Chrysler van which is very nice. We are enjoying it lots. It looks very much like our old one but is 7 years newer and almost 100,000 miles fewer.
We feel so blessed during our stay this year. God has really been good to us.
We head north to Cheyenne WY for a short visit, then to Saratoga WY, then to Lincoln City and Salem OR, Vancouver WA, then Stockton and Lodi CA.
Our projected arrival back in Desert Hot Springs CA for the winter is Oct. 7 or 8.

Lots has been happening
Since I posted last on June 25, lots has gone on. Our grandson, Caleb, and his bride, Rachel, were married on June 27 in Colorado Springs, CO. A lovely wedding and reception after. We are delighted to welcome Rachel into our family.
On July 2, we went from Colo. Spgs to Galeton CO where gracious friends provided a lovely huge apartment for us for the summer.
On July 5, we had a Mimms Family Reunion with 48 attending, mostly our side of the family (of course, when you have 8 children, 13 grandchildren and 9 great-gramds. what do you expect?) It was held at our son and daughter=in-law's home, John and Ramona Baker, in order to avoid a daily rain storm. It's a good thing, as there was a rain. I took some pictures, but none of the groups turned out well. We had a good time and a delightful potluck meal.
We had decided to see if we could sell our travel trailer which we had lived in 24-7 for 10 years,, so we started to clean it out. You can't imagine how much STUFF you can stuff into a trailer in that time. We mostly gave it away, but saved a little and gave away a little. While this was going on, I got sick and spent 3 days in the hospital. The diagnosis was gastritis. I was one sick cooky. Really glad to get back home and recuperate. While this was going on, we did sell the trailer. I am now nearly back to normal again.
We are now knee deep in our concert schedule for the summer. It will keep us busy.

New Quilt
I just finished a new quilt for our grandson and his bride-to-be. It is totally different from all the others and I think it turned out well. I am now working on one for my granddaughter Joy.

Back to Colorado
I am ashamed that I haven't posted in so long. I just got out of the habit and couldn't seem to get back to it. We are still in southern CA for a few more days and then go to Colorado Springs, CO. We'll stay with our kids there for about 2 weeks and while there our grandson gets married and we'll go to that. Plus seeing other friends and relatives in that area.
After that the first or second of July we go to northern Colorado. We just found out that we'll have an apartment in some friends' basement for the months of July and August. So we won't be living in our 32' trailer this summer. We are going to try to sell it. It is getting to be too much for Travis to handle anymore. I'll be 75 in a few days and he'll be 76 in August. An apartment looks really good to us now.
I'm still making quilts and have finished the 23rd one now and have another one more than half done. I seem to go right from one to another, always having one in the process. It is really relaxing forme and I get a lot quilted while we drive down the road. I can't read or cross stitch, but can quilt and crochet.
