I Need My Blankee...... :(


We are still camping after about two weeks now. Kim has been dealing with problems with his health and so have I, so we are trying to run away to relax. But, although our RV is still set up out at Wilderness Lakes we still have to go on with our everyday life and responsibilities. There are doctor appointments, meetings, service, bible studies, estate sales to do, laundry to do, grocery shopping, and funerals/memorials to attend. It has been such a busy few weeks. No wonder why my blood pressure is out of control and I'm feeling like I'm going to have a nervous
break down! Calgon Take Me Away!!!!

Taking Time to Enjoy Family & Friends.....


Jason finally joins us at Wilderness Lakes this week and he catches his first fish. See how happy he is!

Larry helps Jason get his rod ready.


Kim's family came out and enjoyed the camp fire with us and Kim's co-worker Skip and his lovely wife Seville came and camped out at Wilderness Lakes for the week-end with us. The next day we all went to brunch at Carnitas Express where they make the best food!!!



This weekend we had to go to yet ANOTHER memorial service for a dear friend of ours, Ed Russell. Although this was another sad occasion it was truly a tribute to the person that he was when we saw how many people came from so far away. There were so many people there that they filled an entire school gym. Layman & Nancy Myles, long time friends of Kim & me (seen here) were one of the many friends that came to the memorial from quite a distance.





My mom is seen here with long time friend Carol and her beautiful daughter Michelle. Friends came from all over to be in support of this very loving and faithful family.

A Busy Week of Camping, Funerals, Performances, Craft Night & Shopping...


Jennifer Johnson, Cindy Smith & Sabrina & I started off this week with a trip to Julian for some window shopping and idea scouting. The weather was just great. The air was crispy and it really felt like winter is finally going to be here for a while, I hope.



Kim performed at Baily's in Temecula. We had a great time and Kim gave a great performance as usual.




Then Denise and Larry Holloway joined us out at Wilderness Lakes in Menifee where we decided to continue our camping adventure this week. Denise was just loving the fishing.....and just before the 10 o'clock curfew she caught this big catfish!!! Woooo Hooooo!!!!







Kim & C0-workers out at Lake Skinner trying to relax....













Girls craft night...















My cousins and I were gathered here at the site where Aunt Joyce was burried. It was bitter sweet because this was the second funeral in two weeks yet I got to see my cousin China for the first time in twenty years. I come from a very close family and despite the many years that we have spent apart it is always great to see each other once again. But we are hoping on planning a reunion because we're getting real tired of meeting under these circumstances.






I left Lake Skinner early Saturday morning for the services for Aunt Joyce and I was greeted by all of the hot air ballons going up in the air!!! What a beautiful site. I couldn't pass up this picture!!! They were so close I felt like I could just reach up and grab one!!!




Back to the campground to relax....
