Thanksgiving in Death Valley
We moved a few days ago across the road to Furnace Creek Campground because the other host had to leave due to health problems. Now we feel like we are in a real campground, trees, fire pits and picnic tables. Sunset Campground was a little bare.
The best thing about this place is that we were able to have Connie, Shawn and the grandkids put a tent up next door to us. We have been having a good time introducing everyone to the glories of this National Park. Today they were on their own because Jim and I had host duties so they drove up to the Sand Dunes and had fun running up and down the dunes, digging and filling pockets with sand.
Sandy and Newel are enjoying Jana and Kevin and grandboys who drove over last night. We are all using innovative ways to cook our turkeys. Shawn is BBQing our turkey breast and Eggers are roasting a turkey roll in the trailer oven.
Most of our campers are quiet today and we hope and pray will continue to behave themselves and be well this evening.
It was so good to hear from the other kids, Jimmy, Amy and family and Jacob, Tania and family. It’s a little more challenging to do e-mail at our new site but Jim packs the computer and hops on his bike and sits up at the Visitor Center to do it. Thank the Lord our cell phone works great here.
Tomorrow our family will leave and we will be a little lonely.
The next event for us will be when Jim’s boss comes to the Furnace Creek Inn for a conference. Jim has arranged a meeting room and we will get to eat at the Inn. Jim’s looking forward to showing his co-workers Death Valley.
We are thankful for the beauty of this place, but even more for our family. God is good!
