I made arrangements with Arvin West to put on "Movies in the Park" every Saturday this summer. Last weekend we played Stuart Little followed by Monster-in-Law. Everyone really enjoyed it and the 4H sold hotdogs and other snacks, helping them to raise funds for their ongoing projects with the kids. I was very tired though and could barely stay away for the last movie. I had been working all day washing cars and doing a bake sale that I had arranged to raise funds for Northern Hudspeth County EMS which is in need of a new building. I got sunburned which also made me sleepy. I had just enough time between the fundraiser and the movies to go eat a quick meal. We did end up raising over $665 which is pretty good considering we only had a few children to help wash cars. We will do it again on the 27th of this month.
This weekend we are playing Spirit and McClintock for movie night. Trying to keep something for the kids and something for adults. We will have to skip the following weekend because a couple will be getting married in the park. Congratulations to the happy couple! The weekend after we will continue our movies with The Bee Movie followed by Beetlejuice. I think that it is nice to sit in a park with the wind blowing gently, looking up to see the stars, and watch a movie sitting on the side of a hill.
This week has also been busy for the bow company. Stephen hasn't had as much time in the shop as he would like but he has received several more orders and we are finalizing our decision to go to the ATA show in January. We have calculated everything but the only details left to work out is who will care for our dogs. We have started ordering give aways for the show. So far we have T-shirts and bumper stickers. We are also ordering dog tags and bracelets so if you will be at the ATA show come by our booth and grab some freebies. Or if you would like a bumper sticker you can come by our facebook page and request one. I will get it in the mail asap.
My daughter and her husband have decided to move here so I am very excited about that. I haven't seen them for almost 2 years. He will be working with EMS and we really need more people so that is great. My daughter wants to go into law enforcement. I believe she will like it here.
We have had quite a bit of rain in fact, it is raining now. Even though it floods at times, it makes everything beautiful. There has been so many rainbows here; many more than I have ever seen.The clouds also hang low in the mountains when it is nice and cool outside. Wouldn't trade these times for anything else. Loving the monsoon season.
