OUR FT. BOWIE GET-A-WAY

 

We made our way into SE Arizona, through Wilcox and on to Ft. Bowie (Named for Jim Bowie).

We found a nice camp site at a BLM free camp site…

Got set up before sundown.   The area is all open range, so, we had a few 100 head of cattle as neighbors, as well as a few “Arizona wild pigs”, the Javelina.

  

The rock formations at our camp site were breathtaking.

.

We did finish setting up before sundown. During the night we had ourselves a front row seat of the brightest stars we ever saw, with more than a few “shooting stars” thrown in for our viewing pleasure.

The next morning we witnessed a spectacular sun-rise, as it glistened off the rocks….

… we went for a nice hike.

The flora is out in force this time of the year.

 

Between the camp site and Bowie we found miles and miles of almond, pecan, and walnut trees.

As we passed through Bowie, a town of about 400, we found this house designed to look like a TP.

Back in Wilcox, a town around 3,500 people, but noted for the cowboy movie star, Rex Allen, and APPLES! Lots and lots of apples.

We stopped by for a look at “Apple Annie's, lots of people were picking. Well, maybe one day, but this day we just bought an apple pie, READY MADE –YUM!

HOME AND…

ARIZONA!…

…Sunshine! With the…

…  Saguaro Cactus reaching out their arms, seeming to say “WELCOME”…

  

We found the temperature just a bit warmer than we had become accustomed to, but, HEY, it’s dry heat. Our plant seemed to do very well in our absence  LOOKING GOOD!

Time to get back to the Lord’s work here at home.

The Church had a meal as we gathered around the table to feed our bodies, but not before feeding our souls with fellowship and prayer.

We pray… as we consider plans for His future work

 

THE TRUTH PROJECT! Scott, Bobby, and Shirley receive their diploma's for attending 13 weeks of instruction in church ministry.

Pastor Bill, along with Scott and Todd talk with our visitors from North Dakota, Eskie and Pat Jensen (soon to be Coolidge residents)…

Rick, a longtime resident of Valley Farms came in to worship and celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ with us. We pray you were blessed and encouraged, and hope to see you next Sunday.

  

We want to thank Todd for filling the pulpit while we were away, THANKS TODD! It is so nice to be back in the saddle again, riding the range for that great range boss.

At our Chamber of Commence meeting, the guest speakers were T.J Shope and Frank  Pratt, both are running for the Arizona State House. 

NEXT WEEK… THE MINISTRY CONTINUES. Please, keep us in your prayers!

Sam Watters and Dee Mackenzie Tie the Knot

CONGRATULATIONS Mr. & Mrs. Sam Watters

Family and Friends Gather before God to Witness this Joyous Occasion

  

What a joy it is see love come around a second time for two wonderful people.

We ALL await the coming of the bride…

… The Ministry Trip Continues…

  

As we continue out from North Dakota… the road stretches out mile after mile before us, as we are in awe of the beauty of this beautiful ranch country. Driving  on through South Dakota and into…

  

Wyoming … it’s time for a break, as we pull into a rest area just outside of the town of Lusk. We take the time to stretch our legs, have a snack….

                                        

… and head on down the highway…crossing over into…

   

Colorado… and on into…                                                … Denver.

  

In Denver we meet our daughter Jennifer, who is the morning news producer for channel 9 Denver… she gives us a tour…

…of the operation, starting with their outdoor setting…

  

…and moving onto some of the sets.

  

Bringing us back to her operating area, as news producer…(Far to many knobs, buttons, monitors and lights for me).

We are introduced to the news crew… as…

  

… she finishes up her morning… but I do what I do, and come up on her blind side with a “BOO!”

She finishes up and we follow her through the streets of Denver, …. on to…

     

             …  Home.   

                Waiting for us is Jen’s husband Ronnie and  our  Granddaughter Kiley.

  

Me and Ronnie having a nice conversation               Kiley enjoying doing a craft

 

At Kiley’s  school, we take care of some business.  Kiley, making us breakfast…with a little help from her mom…

  

Eggs-potatoes- bacon- she is becoming a pretty good cook.

  

“It’s a walk in the park!” Near-by their house we spend some time, relaxing and just visiting…

  

…playing some fun games with family-LIFE IS GOOD!

  

Back at home, Kiley models a Bavarian style dress… shows us how much she’s learned on her guitar.  She’s doing pretty good.

A great visit, but sad to say… it’s time to hit the road…AGAIN! We say good-by, and once more, head out…

  

…South, getting a good view of the snow-capped Rockies, as we head past Colorado Springs, and on toward New Mexico, and….to our home in…

          ARIZONA…. Next week….HOME…
