Summer Time, and the Livin' is Easy...

A few weeks ago, the temperature in Phoenix was in the triple digits.  To be more specific, the thermometer on the back porch showed 109!  Yikes!  We knew then it was time to head for cooler country for the summer:  Colorado!

We transition from our stationary home:

to our tiny mobile home:

Each has it's own good points and drawbacks.  The trailer lets us escape the stifling Phoenix heat that seems to last well into October.   We also leave behind yard work, cable TV, a large kitchen and an extra bathroom, etc. 

 Summer in Colorado means more time outside, enjoying campfires with our friends, Ron and Patty Schorr, re-connecting with other camp hosts at Boyd Lake State Park, plus being much closer to our other two children and grandchildren.  Cookie baking will be put on the back burner until we get home again.  The oven is way too small, and there isn't a lot of counter space.  Don always seems to be able to get his granddaughters to make him chocolate chip cookies before we leave, which he watches over like a hawk!

 If you have a chance, stop by to visit us at Boyd Lake, or maybe we can meet somewhere for lunch!  Hope you have a great summer.  I know we will!
