Busy summer

We have had two sets of people come visit us in Buena Vista this month. The first couple is from Texas - they are full time RVers who have their 'home base' at the same RV park where we have our lot. Margie and Edmund had never been to BV before and we enjoyed showing them around.

The second group are our long time friends from Omaha, the Stephan family: Gary and Jan, their daughters Lindsay and Brianne, and Brianne's husband Tavis. This is their third time here - they really enjoy Buena Vista. They all stayed at a local B&B; they rented a cabin right on the Arkansas river. In addition to sampling our good restaurants and all the gift shops, this time we did something new. We took a train ride from Leadville up into the mountains. Here is a photo of Doug and me on the train. I never did get a photo of all the Stephans together.

Doug's hip/back pain is still there but a bit improved. I wonder if the accupuncture is what helped. He hurts when walking too long. But he has been doing a lot of things around the house and yard, including painting some of the outside house trim.

Life is good. Praise God.
Love to all.
