Showing Up at Show Low

A bunch of us met again at Fool Hollow State Park in Show Low.  For us, it is the last hurrah before we finally go home in the fall.  Although there were only 3 rigs this time, there always seemed to be plenty of people around.  Doris and her dog, Molly, stayed with us while Sandy and Jerry had their granddaughter, Cassidy, staying with them.   Here we are, watching Doris' son, Curt, play ball with his two daughters and Cassidy.  

We were also hosts to Pat and Joy Wilcox that same day.  They were former camp hosts here and now have a cabin nearby.  As usual, food was involved, and plenty of it.  All of us (Sherry, Doris, Sandy and I) love to cook and we never, ever run out of food.  

  While the adults shared stories and conversations, our three great nieces, Cassidy, Lauren and Makenna went rock hopping behind our site.

What else do we do besides eating?  Well, we also brought along bikes to work off some of those calories we consumed.  Don is ready to go, but Jerry needed to check something before he started out.  

We enjoyed campfires in the evenings, after supper.

We played games and cards.  Below, Doris, Cassidy, Sandy, Don, Greg and Lori compete in a game of Mexican Dominos.  Doris, Sandy and I played Taboo with Cassidy several times, each one peppered with lots of laughter as we tried to guess the words.  

All went well until a stray softball made it's way to the back window of Greg and Lori's car.  It was Saturday afternoon, on a holiday weekend.  All the auto glass places were closed until Monday.

No problem.  All you need is a few black plastic trash bags and some duct tape.  Don knows how to fix this type of problem after having back windows broken in both of his last two trucks.

There you go!  Good as new......................almost.  A rather unique look, isn't it?

My hair is too short for me to be in line with all the others to have their hair done up in French braids.

Sandy and Cassidy sport their new hairdo's afterwards,

That evening, Jerry and Sandy did a shrimp boil.  Directions were read and re-read by Doris, Jerry, Don, Sandy and Gary as they worked their way through the detailed recipe.

Sherry put in a call to Dale, who has done a shrimp boil many times, just to make sure we were doing it right.

All done!  Time to carry the pot to the table.

Another yummy meal!  Looks like we had enough for all of us once more.  Good food, good times with family and friends, wonderful memories.  What more could we ask for?  Nothing.  The Lord has richly blessed us.
