Ed-the wild animal wrangler







We finally stooped to a new low for excitement here. We flush water down mole holes, then close all of them up and wait for new holes, then put poison in them. Stephanie was flooding a hole and a mole popped out. Well, it was Ed to the rescue with our rake. He chased it-prodded it and carried it on the rake to the empty field next to us and lobbed him over the fence.
The last few weeks, most of our free time has been spent with our parents. We had Ed's mom here for a few days. She could breath easier here and enjoyed the trains. But with no TV, she was happy to get home to her familiar surroundings. Also, we took a trip to Phoenix and visited with both my parents, who have been divorced and remarried for many years. The traffic there is horrible and you couldn't pay me to live in Phoenix now.
Business is very slow now, but there is alot to do. The work campers last summer couldn't do much work because of physical and old age issues. Needless to say, the campground was overrun with weeds and a mess. We spend a few hours each day we work making a dent in a long list of things that need to be done. Ed and I enjoy the physical work though, and you can see a major improvement in the grounds already.
We are going to Las Vegas on Saturday for my nephews wedding. It's going to be at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and should be fun. I'll see if I can get a good picture and post it in my next blog. So long for now. We miss everyone! Vicki & Ed

Great picture! So happy to know that the little fella lived to see another day. Hope he finds a home somewhere out in the desert area though and doesn't decide to come back into the KOA grounds. That'd be pushing his luck!
We are looking forward to seeing you guys up in Vegas on Sat. It should be fun!
Very happy to get the call from you today and know that you'll be coming down to spend three days next week with us!!
Love you
Mom
