July 16, birthday. July 17, wedding.

WE got lucky, no rain on my birthday.  There were about 30 people for the party here at the RV park.  I knew most of them, because they are family.  My son, Matt traveled from Florida, not so much for my 70th birthday, but to be best man at his brother's wedding.  Nice to have him here, haven't seen him for a year. We are a pretty tight family.  That's what can happen when a single mom raises three children through some fairly tough times by herself.  My daughter, Shauna, with her husband and four kids came in from Albuquerque.  My brother arrived with his son from just west of here about 3 hours drive.  His other son from Ohio, with his wife and son, and his daughter from Corpus Cristi, Tx.    Well, the birthday was planned and then along came a wedding of my oldest son, Mike.  He decided he wanted the wedding here in this beautiful park, so we decided to do it while everyone is here.  It all turneed out wonderful. 

What excitement! Laundry day.

It is definately cooler in Colorado, of course just about anyplace is cooler than Tucson.  Phoenix wins the award of being the hottest big city, I think.  The sun is intense here, though, and we try to get stuff done early.  This  morning we got off early(9:30am) to do the laundry in town.  The laundry here at the RV park is tiny and hot, and we found the one in Bayfield the first year we came here.  By going early, we can take the dogs and park in the shade, and Larry stays with them while I get things done.  While the wash was doing it's thing, I went up and down the street taking pictures.  It's a nice small town, and I want a few pictures to remember it by.  We probably won't come again next year, since my husband has problems that make driving the motor home difficult. 

Home in Bayfield

We made it through the smoke, it was pretty bad for about 30 miles, and here we are home for a month.  The RV park is really full for the fourth of July and should empty out somewhat after that.  We have a family right next to us in a brand new Class C and first time camping.  They didn't have all the equipment to empty their  waste, so my husband showed them what they need. 
This is a beautiful RV park and it's our third year here.  It is Bayfield Pine Riverside RV Park and my son is having his wedding in the meadow this month.  Pretty exciting.    Terry
