Overgaard camping trip October 2010

Here are some of the photos we took of the camping trip last weekend in Overgaard.  We had Tiffany, Daniel, Geraldine, Brittany, Jairo, Paul and I on Friday night, and then on Saturday, Tamie, Karl, Gma and Gpa joined us overnight. We all piled into two trucks and headed out to the forest so that everyone got a chance to ride the quads, and shoot the rifle and guns.  Daniel did a wonderful dinner Saturday night and we spent most of the time sitting around the campfire trying to keep warm. Camping when it's 39 degrees at night time is not such a good idea, but we still had fun. We also had a picnic at the lake. At least it was warmer Saturday than Friday, but not much.  I know I had a great time, and I hope everyone else did too.  I'm ready to do it again, but maybe not till it warms up a little... maybe a lot.

Getting in the spirit of Halloween

Couldn't resist

Perhaps this explains the wanted poster?

Wanted...

 I never knew this about them.  The things you learn as you get older. The man that drew this for mom and dad at the Western Festival, used to work with Tamie, Paul, Karl and I at Rawhide.  He was the sheriff. 

Relaxing after a fun day at the western festival. We were all two handed drinkers with these mugs. Only needed one each and we left. They were almost a small pitcher each. We had such a great day, weather was good, a little hot, but not extreme. Especially mom getting a ticket for bribery of an officer by Barney Fife. He originally pulled her over for speeding (she was in her electric chair and had just entered the park) but she tried to bribe her way out of it and he gave her a ticket for bribing an officer instead. As soon as Tif sends us the pics of her and Officer Barney Fife, I'll post it here.

In memory of...

Aunt Marge

It's a sad time in our family. We recently suffered the loss of Aunt Marge from Wisconsin who died last Sunday. Her two daughters, Judy and Patty, had finally convinced her to move down here from Wisconsin, and she was able to live the remainder of her life here in warmth and sunshine. Although we didn’t see as much of her as we could have, she will be missed greatly, especially at the holidays. My heart breaks for them now they have only each other, but I hope they know that they have a support group of aunts, 1 uncle and cousins to be there when they need them.

This is a picture that my sister, Tamie, put together to give Aunt Marge this past Christmas, however, we never got all of us together to give it to her. Dad and Tamie framed this and now it was given to Patty to take with her to Wisconsin to be set up at the funeral so that we can all be there. It's sad when you think about it, we are always saying let's get together soon, but soon never comes, until it's too late.

They are having the funeral this Friday in Manitowac, Wisconsin and she will be buried alongside my uncle (her husband).
