It was very warm in Wikieup last Friday and Saturday. Our thermometer hit 100 degrees both days.













One day we were sitting in the livingroom trying to keep cool and we saw this big lizard come up onto the front step. This is the largest lizard we had seen. Of course, he didn’t hold still long enough for a good picture. His body was about ten inches long and then his tail was as long as his body. He looked like a small Gila Monster. Instead of scurrying off, he stood on his legs and ran off!


On Sunday we went to Church for the last time at the Wikieup Branch. That day there were only fourteen people there. Terry and I gave the prayers in Sacrament Meeting. Terry then blessed the Sacrament and also passed it. We will miss them until we get back in December.

Monday morning we met up with Terry’s sister and husband, Lolita and Bob Wright, and went to Bullhead City. We have enjoyed being with them. We walked along the Water Walk across the River at Laughlin, had steak and shrimp dinner, and listened to a free Karaoke program. Some of the singers were really good, but some were really bad! We went on a boat ride and learned all about the history of Bullhead City, the Colorado River, and the building of the casinos in Laughlin. We have sat in the hot tub, shopped, ate a lot of food, and played a lot of pinochle.

One day we went to Oatman where the burros roam the streets and they have a gun shootout at least once a day. Afterwards they asked for donations—at gunpoint! It was a lot of fun.










Jill and Dan and the kids will be here tomorrow for part of the day before they head to Travis’ in Payson. We will meet up with them on Monday in Wikieup. Grandma and Grandpa are pretty anxious to see those grandkids, and of course Jill and Dan also!
