Home one more time

We just got back from a month in Arizona. Had a lot of fun and adventures. We traveled most of the time with the Eggers and met up with the Schmidts along the way. A highlight was attending church at Valley Community Church on Double Adobe Road near Douglas. That is the church that our friends, Arnie and Lucy Nordhagen attend. We tried a couple of new places that we hadn't stayed at before, Picacho Peak State Park, and Echo Lodge Resort on the west shore of the Colorado River near Parker. Picacho Peak had some great hiking, but poor Harry picked up a piece of Cholla cactus in his paw and in trying to bite it out, got it stuck in the roof of his mouth and couldn't close it. While Carolyn held his mouth open, I was finally able to reach in and pull it out. He was pretty grateful. The Colorado was fun, but the last night the wind blew so hard we didn't get much sleep. We hear a loud 'clang' at one point during the night and when I opened the trailer door in the morning, there was a ten foot palm frond lying on our metal doorstep. Made it home with no major mechanical troubles, but are now trying to get over colds we picked up somewhere along the way.
