Last Sunday we visited about 12 campgrounds as it appears we will not be back at Goldminers next year. It is a long story but the bottom line is the person who owns Goldminers now is, how shall I say it, "different". He won't take reservations next year and is raising the price. Of the 12 we looked we all agreed that the Benson KOA appears to our best bet but we will see.
On Monday, Steve and Penny headed home. They were going to leave on Sunday but there was a lot of snow in Colorado so they decided to stay over an extra day... they made it home safely. Tom & I went to Bob's while Arda hung around the trailer getting lots of things done. She also took on another "little" job... she is making 2 vests out of cowhide for Bob. They are really going to look sharp!
Tuesday through Thursday was much the same... ridin' & ropin' for the Wrangler while Arda started working on the vests (she even found time to ride one day). She is actually making great progress using her new sewing machine plus her Bernina. Photos taken at Bob's place... Ridin' & Ropin'
Friday Arda needed a different hide for the vests (for the trim and zippers) so we drove to Tucson where she bought some material. On the way to Costco, we spotted a small leather shop so we stopped and wound up buying part of another hide... this was tanned, all brown, and thin so it is becoming the trim.
Saturday is a day of chores around the trailer for the Wrangler. Arda is sewing and will soon have the first vest completed. I'm impressed!
Monday my brother Al and Vicki arrive from Calgary so next week we get to play tourist... it will be good to see them both again. We visited them in Calgary last fall but there is always too much time in between...
Well until next time, keep your loops open.
