It has been a long time since my last post we have not had internet very often . I'll try to catch you up a bit. After leaving Mesa we went to Benson Az. with the Hulbert's and the McClouds for a few days. The gang all went to the Kartchner caves and had a great time, the guys all went a couple of times rabbit hunting but the rabbits were to fast for them so no luck but a good time had and I'm sure a lot of laughs. We all then head for Deming N.M. we had no plans there except for the guys hunting again and again no luck I think they need to get faster on the draw. We girls had a few good nights at the club house with card bingo, a party night of watching survivor, then last of all they had a get together night which was a party of all party's you may have missed through the year they had every table of a decoration of the various holidays of the year (real cute). They had a lot of good food and drinks. We had a lot of fun. We all departed company from there and headed different directions. We then headed to Arkansas to visit with our nephew James Wells and family. We visited a few days before heading off to Waynesboro Ms. to visit with our uncle T. J. and aunt Darlene Pitts. While here I had to go in and have a torn retina repaired they had to do a laser repair which was a piece of cake but the shot I had to have in my eye was not. We have done a bit of fishing, both of us caught our first catfish weighing about 7 pounds ea.. Terry has been doing a bit of shooting, got himself a a hugh turtle and cotton tail rabbit (they must be slower than the jack rabbits or he has gotten faster at the draw). Then he hit a copper head snake in the head with a stick. Brave guy

T. J. and Darlene left yesterday but we are going to be here a few days more as we have mail coming after it comes we will head off to a small town near Jackson Ms. as I have a final check up on the 5th of May. We do have plans to go down to New Orleans La. for a couple of days by car while we wait for my May 5th appt. as it is about 3 1/2 hours away we will leave the motor home and stay in a motel for a few days. After that we will be heading up to Paul's in Hershey Pa. via the lower route of the gulf coast into Florida and up from there. Well I think I've got you caught up for now. Love and prayers for all.

We arrived in Benson Az. early on the 31s. so we got settled and took off for Tombstone. It is a touristy town gunfights in the street and the whole western thing going on,the OK Corral gun fight was the big theme through out the town. On the way out of town had to visit boot hill graveyard where all that didn't survive the shoot out were buried. Thursday we went into Bisbee it was quit the town I think we were in a time warp back to the 1960's I would try to describe it but not sure I can every house was a different color and I don't mean earth tones I'm talking bright and no house had just one color the minimum was three. Well you got the picture it was colorful. On Friday the we went to the Kartchner Caverns. They were very beautiful as many of the caverns we have seen are. Afterwards we drove around found a ghost town to visit and wound up in tombstone for lunch. The park that we are in is a fun place to be. we have had an event every night we played card bingo first night very fun game, there was a survivor night on thursday , and last night they had a party of all parties every table had a different theme from halloween to St. Patrick's. We have had a nice stay here but today we are off to Deming NM. Well have a good day all will let you know how things are going as soon as I can get on line. Love and Prayers for all.
